Hello readers,

Fall is on us. It’s not getting quite as warm as it did two weeks ago, and it’s getting colder at night. We have apple brown betty, apple pie, apple cider, apple cobbler, fall raspberries, hot cider and more on tap for the coming months…really any excuse to put ice cream and brown sugar on top of something warm and delicious is good with me.

We do also have to deal with squash and gourds of all kinds sitting there knowing their chance has finally come to be eaten since we have exhausted all other possibilities for nutrition…for me, that includes rocks and grass (which I will happily eat instead of spaghetti squash). No wonder the Pilgrims wore so much grey and black—the knowledge of what was facing them each fall must have weighed them down. But hey, the circle of life keeps rolling.

I do have to apologize—I did not have time to write a Terminal-related article this week, but Jon mentions a way to reset passwords using Terminal. (I’ll be writing next week about a very powerful command called ssh which is used to remotely log into and communicate with other computers.) Carl has a tip about how to hide certain volumes and RJ offers up a Time Machine backup scheduler.

Please enjoy this week’s offerings. See you next week—thanks for reading!
