so my Mac hdd just decided to corrupt itself and now it wont boot. (i can access the data through a recovery program... its all there)
ive taken it apart and backed up most of my important data (ie: /users//*) --ie Documents/Downloads/Desktop/etc
now i need to figure out what else i should have saved... anyone else know of any folders that might be elsewhere that you would generally save?

and secondly, where are the bookmarks for the OSX versions of Chrome and Firefox? anyone know? There should be a way to find them in the files somewhere, without booting from the drive.

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/

Chrome
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/

By default most application-specific settings are stored in this folder. As per what else to backup, barring specific application almost everything you would want to backup would be in your home folder.

    Gerber used to make pretty decent tools, not sure how good they are now, and it looks they went all tacticool and stuff.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Can't go collecting knives now, I'm in the middle of nerf modding. One obsession at a time please.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, I've seen the amazing mods.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There was one when you add a taser module inside, and another to replace the spring with a stronger one to shoot the darts way harder than expected.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I wouldn't go as far as the taser one.

    I'm putting a smaller blaster inside a larger blaster so I can blast while I blast.

    You're willing to dock?

  • Veho @ Veho:
    While both activities, docking and blaster modding, are broadly similar, in that they're both sticking my smaller tool into a bigger tool for fun and pleasure and make me shoot harder, the mod I have in mind involves a little more cutting and dremeling and hot glue.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nice.

    @Veho at least you shoot yourself and not others
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know how (not) to shoot others.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's the "not shooting myself" I seem to be struggling with.
