blah, busy.
So, yesterday (Saturday) was long. I spent it out with some LUV people, and Russell Coker, Paul Dwerryhouse and myself spent an extended amount of time at a wine bar. Kai mentioned that a lot of jobs now are asking for “knowledge of a version control system”, which amused the lot of us. Then, to go on to meeting some Melbourne Flick-folk, and having a lot more fun. My frustration came out of taking a series of photos and seeing the dreaded “Err_CF” on the camera. I swapped CFs, and kept the other one safely for perusal.
In the taxi ride back home (silly me, I should’ve just waited half an hour for the first train seeing daylight savings summertime is in effect), I took to looking at some JPGs. I should clean this up and get it sorted/uploaded. In Linux, doing dd if=/dev/sda of=myfile.img works so well. Wonder how that can be done easily in OS X?
Monday came and went, while Tuesday was Cup Day. Obligatory visit there, and then a bar visit with some Flickr folk. Wednesday was LUV. Good shtoom talk, done by Anthony Baxter, along the lines of how lessig does his talks (he had like 200+ slides). Bar afterwards.

It should work just fine, I use:
dd if=/dev/disk1s0 of=~/Desktop/CD.iso
to make ISO images.
You just need to figure out what device it is, use System Profiler if don’t already know. For instance System Profiler says my iPod is:
BSD Name: disk2
While my main HD is:
BSD Name: disk0
