   Needed to dump an old SCSI disk. The only thing I have with SCSI is a beige G3 PowerMac. Had to re-jumper the drives and putz around with ID bits.

   It already had a disk dual-booting OS 9 and OS X. That one made some bad clicking noises...went away after a few reboot cycles. Phew.

   At least it already had OS X. Now dd-ing the target disk out through SSH at 600 kbps. Had to use a second laptop because all my 1+ meter Ethernet cables are being used. Didn't think about that until it was too late.

   @mattly I don't even know how I feel about this book and its degree of believability. Like, it makes 2 little conceits. 1 is that the scenario is possible at all. And 2 is that it's survivable at all.

   And I can grant those. But I needed it to go all the way. It has to make that worth it. And seveneves stops just short of all of the most interesting bits.

   It should have been two books. That or the first half should have been a prologue and we just completely handwave the physics
