Comment on Back That Thing Up by Leo

Very cool suggestions. As a Linux egghead, I’ve been actively using a remote server powered by rdiff-backup to keep my extensive music, photography and .doc collection alive and well. I’m now looking at also doing further off-site backup (thinking of rsync.net which supports rdiff-backup) as uploading 50 GB over a DSL connection to another is taking me better part of the week ;-)

Will keep you posted on what I find.

Comment on My BBC Big Read Book List by Rachel Sapiro

Wow, that’s a pretty skewed list. I’m not that well-read according to most “classics” lists, but I’ve read 31 of those all the way through, read substantial portions of 6 more (4 series where I didn’t read at least one book all the way through but didn’t read all the books (including the Bible), 1 I put down, and 1 abridged but in the original language (Three Musketeers)). Plus 16 where I either haven’t read it or haven’t read all of it, but have seen at least one movie version (and I didn’t bother counting how many where I’d read the book and seen the movie).

Maybe the list is skewed toward things that have movie versions. I’m not sure I even knew Atonement was a book, for example, but I’ve certainly seen the movie.

The two main biases I see in this list are for stuff that’s assigned in high school, and for relatively recent stuff (by which I mean roughly past twenty years).

Not that this makes it any more ridiculous than other such lists.
