@jimray doesn’t know how to spell my first name.

I. AM. CRUSHED.

I thought we had something real, @jimray!

Use the super fast solid state drive as your boot/OS/application drive, move your home folder for all your pictures and mp3s and whatnot somewhere else. Nicely done.

A) Freaky to see one of my blog posts make the rounds on the Intarwebs.

B) I agree with Neven, it’s not that big a deal to have your “stuff” live outside of the home folder. But moving the home folder feels way more elegant to me.

C) While I know it sounds and feels like moving the home folder and not having it on the boot volume would be “brittle,” but trust me, in practice, it’s really not. This is basically how Portable Home Directories (née Mobile Accounts) work and we use them all the time here in our studio. With every workstation as a matter of fact.

D) There is no “D.”

E) I remembered what “D” was! I absolutely do agree with Neven that pre-Leopard, having the home folder off the boot drive was slightly problematic. At least in my experience it was.

I’m not sure I agree that moving your iTunes and iPhoto libraries to a second drive is so “fiddly”; that’s been my setup for years and I’ve never had problems. Moving the home folder seems way more brittle to me.

That said, SSD drives are the single greatest upgrade you can buy for your computer today. Seeing Photoshop launch on an SSD laptop will blow your mind.

Yeah, I’m up to Layer 144 in my travels in Photoshop today. It’s been that kind of week around here.

I could listen to this song on repeat for a year and still not be tired of it.

“Ay, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya”

I am such the child of the 80s.

Read the whole thing because Merlin’s got some great thoughts, but this is the key to the whole shebang:

Keep writing.

No matter what.

Finally? Yes. Keep writing. No matter what.
