I think I’m back to more or less where I was before my data started getting corrupted on the iBook.  WTF was that about?!?  I had to make a new username and delete the old one, but the new one seems to work fine.  Backed up my files first, and recovered what I could.  Nothing to speak of was lost that I didn’t have backed up… in the end it seemed the only files that were really corrupted were system-related.  I.e. many preference files were hosed, all the bookmarks, keychains, software licenses etc.  Which caused everything to go wacky and not let me view my files.  Dunno, I just hope it never happens again.


I kinda want to go back to using Mail.app in OSX.  I found a copy of my old mail folder as it existed at the end of August, just before I took everything over to Evolution… it appears to work, so all I have to migrate from Evolution is the stuff that’s come in and gone out since then.  That’ll be easy, I can set up a virtual folder thing and grab them all that way.  I’m going to miss using Evolution but only the mail portion — for everything else, I guess I prefer the way the OSX counterparts work, and I love keeping the info on my iPod.  I never figured out how to deal with that in Linux.
