I have upgraded to RapidWeaver 4. Looks like a great update. Seems much easier to find all of the relevant tools than before. Plus it has much nicer icons :-D .

MacBook Air Wired... Almost Made Me Sick

IMG_0007
I was copying some very large files and I was wondering what the best way to do it was. I started it on a 300Mbps N network from my Air to my iMac. Both are wireless and therefore each have an effective throughput of 150Mbps. It was going to take about 16 hours to transfer 50GB. Then I considered plugging my drives straight into the USB. However, that would have required ejecting them from the iMac and then finding a USB cable as they are both plugged in with Firewire 800. Then I caught it. I bought a USB Ethernet Adapter with my Core Duo iMac for my home server. All right I said to myself. I will make an exception this one time and make my MacBook Air not wireless. It was truly a hard decision... but it is done and transferring now.
