Frustrated that your Mac shows your Time Capsule disk in Finder, but does not mount it automatically? Find it difficult to connect your Time Capsule disk in Finder manually before other applications like iTunes can access files in it? Here is a simple solution. I have created an Automator script that does this for you.

  1. Connect to your Time Capsule disk manually for the last time and save your password in Keychain
  2. Download this application and save it on your disk
  3. Add it as a Login Item in System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items

You are all set. You Time Capsule will be mounted automatically the next time you log on to your Mac.

Note: This script would work only if your Time Capsule is running on its default IP.

My old camera, a Canon PowerShot S2 IS, died on me last month and I was looking for a new one to replace it. Inspired by some DSLR-wielding friends and many a beautiful photo on Flickr, I decided to go DSLR. They are now cheaper than ever, do more stuff than ever and everybody has one these days :-) . So, I thought now was the right time to take the plunge.

I knew I wanted a Nikon or Canon (dunno why, just knew :-) ), but which one? I did some research on the interwebs and built this table with the features that may be important for a beginner. Sharing this here for the benefit of others like me.
