 Winslowlicker  

Michael Winslow (the guy who made all the sounds in Police Academy) should cover Aphex Twin's Windowlicker. The track should be called Winslowlicker, and everyone will love it.

That is all.

 Mac Disaster - Addressbook Reset  

My mac just decided to reset my Addressbook after the 10.4.11 update - the master record every single business and personal contact and phone number I have.

I was able to restore it through an ingenious little hack I discovered a while back:

1. Plug your iPhone/iPod into a second machine and force a contact sync (you may be able to to do this on a new empty account on the same mac). Apple will prompt you to 'Replace' or 'Merge' select 'Merge'. 'Merge' is fairly useless in this case for merging. What we're doing is unbinding the link between the first mac and the addressbook.
2. Plug the iPhone/iPod into the original machine, and force a contact sync. Apple will prompt you to 'Replace' or 'Merge' - select 'Merge' again: this will trick Apple into pulling in all of your contacts from the iPhone and rebinding it to that mac.

I need to write a cronjob to make a daily update of my Addressbook now. I backup my Mac weekly, but I don't have anything to archive 'mission critical' data like this specifically.
