I was watching Sarah Lacy interview Mark Zuckerberg on AppleTv and for some reason this video game up as a “related” video.

I have no idea why or how this video’s related but I’m glad it showed up. I used to watch this video all the time a year or so ago and I’d like to thank YouTube for reminding me of it. I was even learning how to play this song but due to being busy as hell I abandoned that lil project but I figure this is as good of a time as any to resume.

If anyone else is interested here’s the tabs.

Where Does All The HD Space Go?

I remember thinking 60GB was tons and tons of space. I still think it is… but it turns out I’m just wrong.

I’ve got 2 MacBooks, one at/for work and the other at home for my personal stuff… and they’re both running out of space. It’s pretty damn annoying. Where’d all this space go?

I keep all documents on an external HD. So big ass Photoshop files, all my MP3s etc are not on my machine. The only documents on my machine are about 4GB of photos and code for Fuzz and various other side projects I tinker with. Being way over-generous, lets say I have 1/2 GB of code/images (that’s a serious over-estimate). Then WTF happened to the other 55GB of space on these machines?

My Applications folder clocks in at 13.5GB. My Home directory something looks like this:

  • Sites: 10MB
  • Dev: 117MB - nowhere near the BS 1/2 GB number i pulled out of my ass earlier.
  • Downloads: 7MB (a couple zip files and some PDFs)
  • Movies: 16K
  • Documents: 1.3GB (mostly local copies of tons of Photoshop docs)
  • Public: 4K

That’s pretty much nothing. My MP3s are on an external… so my Music folder’s pretty much empty.

So where the hell’s my space? Turns out my ~/Library folder’s 1.3GB (not bad) but the /Library folder’s eating up a good 14GB. What the fuck is in there?

Anyways this isn’t an analysis or anything. I’m just frustrated. I’ve always thought that documents took up most of the space and using an external for that stuff would keep me pretty clear of nuisances like this…. but, ya, I was wrong.

Normally I’d use this as an excuse to go get a new MacBook Pro. Fuzz is a member is iTunes’ Label Connect program so we get a nice price cut. But, I’m trying to be good with the whole “unnecessary purchases” thing and am trying to hold out until it’s a 100% show-stopper. + it would suck ass if they introduced some new laptops in June. Everyone’s saying there’ll be new iPhone but you never know with Jobs n crew.
