I was going to write a blog about industry cloud direction but I got side-tracked into tinkering with the Mac and found a couple of interesting commands which I want to make a note of.

This came about because my Mavericks O/S has been very slow. I noticed constant I/O to the disks and have been trying to determine what was causing it. I thought I would use dtrace and was delighted to find it was already installed! Even more delighted when I found two incredibly useful commands: iosnoop and iotop.

iosnoop quickly told me it was Logmein. As it happens, Logmein have started charging for using their app so I am happy to remove it, which the built-in remover seemed to do fine.

Looks much better already, see how it goes. I just wonder what it was writing the whole time, even when the client was turned off??? Bug?
