]]> Comment on Units of mach_absolute_time() by orion http://shiftedbits.org/2008/10/01/mach_absolute_time-on-the-iphone/comment-page-1/#comment-695 orion Sat, 23 Apr 2011 21:50:01 +0000 http://shiftedbits.org/?p=17#comment-695 great post, thank you. i was noticing that something i was animating based on CACurrentMediaTime was subtly jerky and staccato, so i replaced CACurrentMediaTime with a wrapper around mach_absolute_time and it's much better. this is iPad + raw openGL. my guess is that altho CACurrentMediaTime is a double, it actually only has millisecond accuracy, which then bumps into aliasing on the 60Hz render timer. great post, thank you.

]]> Comment on Regression: Adobe CS4 by Jack http://shiftedbits.org/2009/03/26/regression-adobe-cs4/comment-page-1/#comment-273 Jack Fri, 23 Jul 2010 22:37:11 +0000 http://shiftedbits.org/?p=60#comment-273 I totally agree with you and what Adobe did for CS4 and CS5 are not forgivable. As Adobe introduce their products to Mac world for decades, it should act like a good Mac citizen. I really hate to install all those married crap into my disk, even I choose not to during custom installation time. Can I just trash them? If I can, then how to do it without affect other Adobe CS5 program? I totally agree with you and what Adobe did for CS4 and CS5 are not forgivable.

If anyone happens upon this post and has some input, I would greatly appreciate it. To avoid hassles with FileVault, I don't use it. Instead, at login I mount an encrypted disk image that I use to hold all client data and I do not store the password in my keychain. Under Leopard, Time Machine would backup the files inside this mounted volume just like any other drive/volume. I could exclude the folder where the disk image itself was stored (though backing up a sparse image could partially address this under Snow Leopard) so as not to have massive backups, and I could rely on Time Machine to make backups of the individual files, revisions, etc. inside the volume. Under Snow Leopard, Time Machine seems to not even try to backup the contents of the mounted volume. I cannot quite figure out why or how this is excluded. Maybe I am doing something else wrong that I am not detecting. I did, for a variety of reasons (e.g., CrashPlan, etc.), make a new encrypted volume using a sparse image but I don't see how that would cause the problem. How does Time Machine know to backup external drive volumes that are mounted and yet not to backup volumes that are mounted from a disk image? Any thoughts? Thanks very much.
