Been pretty busy in computerland recently. I started using Ubuntu on pretty much all my computers, with much success. I wish I would have began using it earlier. I have also been pretty active in the community, including getting my name in some packages and changelogs that have made it into the next release. There is a bit of pride in that, of course.
I began using the program BackinTime for incremental backups on my Linux machines. Currently I just back my home folder to a /Backup directory, as it's more for if I mess up something. The current version is not in Debian or Ubuntu, I have put an updated package in my PPA. I use it to take an hourly snapshot of my entire home directory on my devel box. Right now the entire snapshot directory takes up 16.3 MB and the snapshots themselves are generally tiny. BackinTime uses hardlinks to point to unchanged files, so the size stays very low.
