Using vsdbutil to ignore permissions and repair an Apple MobileMe/iPhoto bug.
Link. Somehow this was relevant to this Macintouch post about recovering from a disastrous Apple iPhoto/MobileMe bugged that can destroy users iPhoto Library, probably a permissions bug:
“vsdbutil -d “/Volumes/Jeff’s HD TM Backup”
Once I did that, I could complete the restore using Time Machine.
… I imported the photos I took since June 12, rearranged the recent events (again), and all seems well. Thankfully, the From MobileMe folder is gone, and all the events I expected to see are back!
Now I suspect the core problem, something inside the library that has incorrect permissions, is still present. I’m not sure what to do so a future Time Machine restore (if needed) will work cleanly.”

Grexit: Antigone.
Link. “It is like we are condemned to die – like Antigone, in the tragedy of Sophocles. Antigone was condemned to be buried alive in a cave by Creon, and when the Chorus finally convinced Creon to save her life, a messenger arrives announcing that Antigone has hanged herself.
Modern Greece, like Antigone, is condemned to the austerity measures of the European Commission, burying it alive, and it looks like, when the Europeans come to her mercy, it might be too late – and Greece might commit suicide by deciding to leave the eurozone. I don’t have a lot of hope for Greece.”
