Macbook Pro

Touch and no go

I bought a new macbook this weekend because: a) I wanted one, b) I didn't want to wait for Apple's notebook reload and, c) I've become increasingly frustrated by the long compilation times with my (2 year) old Macbook Pro. The good news is its faster, the bad: I don't like it.

Hibernation

Some time back I disabled hibernation mode on my macbook pro to save space on the drive. This is because hibernation required creation of a sleepimage file which was 2 Gb in size. Recently I stumbled across an article which again listed how to turn this off.

sudo pmset hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage

I decided to turn hibernation back on after this trip down memory lane, and so, issued the following command: sudo pmset hibernatemode 1
