I have mostly recovered from the great hard drive crash, thanks to Apple’s Backup software. Most music has been recovered, and I will soon be sniveling and groveling to iTMS to be allowed to re-download music that I have already paid for. Most pictures have been restored, up until I last backed up all my iLife data which was back in January. I’m am grateful that I managed to recover what I did, but still kind of mad at myself for losing some of the photos (like Declan’s first birthday, or the visit from our friends from Edmonton in April). I’ve decided that I need to start using Flickr again, not just to share photos but also to archive them. The recent purchase of a new camera has also renewed my photo enthusiasm, so I want to be taking more pictures again (and hopefully not losing them).
The new camera has a butt-kicking super macro zoom feature. I like it!
As for the flocking, I’m giving it another shot after listening to MacBreak weekly episode 42. Leo recommended it as his software pick of the week pointing out that it had improved a lot since earlier versions. I like the nice drag picture to blog post feature. It seems to work pretty slickly, and if you can see the caterpillar pictures above that must mean that it works. The blogging seems OK, but it doesn’t look like it does anything with categories. Hmmm …
Update: It does let you add categories as you publish, and also allows you to add technorati tags. This is looking like it does not suck.

Rob,
I use SuperDuper to backup everything once a week.
