About GUI scripting

GUI scripting refers to graphical user interface scripting, which basically means making your mouse and keyboard act automatically. This is very handy to know when you find yourself doing repetitive mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes again and again. Why be a machine in front of a machine?

Doing backups and creating disk images

There's a reason why I keep Time Machine's automatic backing up off. Cause it's unreliable and confusing. I had this major problem in Snow Leopard, where Time Machine eventually took 4-6 hours to complete, for whatever reason. I guess it was related to it's incremental features, which kept getting more complex the more your used it. This is more likely fixed in Mavericks, but my trust was yet again broken and not easily fixed so I've kept using my own fix-script that I did for the Snow Leopard.
