My... what?

4 April 2008   Jeff Gill

I wrote in my DIY design post about hardware that Apple computers come with very good backup software. They do. The file that keeps it all organised is called a sparsebundle. The thing is, the way I like to view my files in the Finder (basically the same thing as Windows Explorer) causes the filename to be truncated like so:

Jeff Gill's ...arsebundle

My friend Lee who backs up onto the same hard drive has too long of a name to get anything as cool as an ARSEBUNDLE.

    Is it wrong that I’m glad that Lee doesn’t have an ‘arsebundle’?

    If only you knew, Sarah, you’d be wishing for your own arsebundle.
