Fixing Time Machine Error Code -43
Having issues with Time Machine backups on your new external hard drive?
Well the solution to Time Machine Error Code -43 is brought to you by WBTCZN on the Apple Forums. "I stumbled on to the answer...I was in System Preferences to do
something else and saw the Time Machine icon. I opened that one up and
was able to change the drive...it was pointing to my FAT32 drive
instead of the new drive."

"Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust."
"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky.
Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.
Never
shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all
eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments
which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never
shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as
God Himself. Never." Elie Wiesel

Mac: Some additional thoughts on
Mac: Some additional thoughts on living with a new Macbook.
1. I have a bash shell by default. And I don't have to install cygwin (which bluescreened my xp.) I can script from my regular desktop!!!
2. I miss control+c and control+v, in apple land they use the command+c and command+v to do the same functions. Fortunately you can map the control key to the command key and viola everything is back.
3. I miss my home key, end key and my del key.
4. The keyboard on the mac feels better.
5. The vpn setup is easy and done through the airport icon at the top of the screen.
6. I have a sticky note with todos on my desktop.
7. I installed a few applications; MacPorts, Skype, VMWare Fusion, Office 08, Firefox (Foxmarks sync'ed my bookmarks), VLC, Maclock.
My Lenovo T61 didn't come with recovery discs, the software is on the HDD. I have a backup so I could pull i386 and burn a cd but it's not bootable from within VMWare. So I'm without Windows. I'm pretty ok with that right now as I can still get a lot of work done. I'm probably going to pull up Ubuntu image in VMWare for now.
With Macports I can get a lot more tools.
All the apps, even Firefox don't seem to take up so much RAM. I have 4GB but I don't see firefox taking over 1GB like it usually does, I'll need to test this a lot more.
The Mighty Mouse kicks ass. I would have had a much harder time adjusting were it not for the right click ability of the might mouse.
Spaces kicks ass.

A little black Macbook with 250GB HDD and 4GB of RAM.
But it's so much more than that.
Goodbye Bluescreen.
I bought a brand new Lenovo T61 14.1 Widescreen less than 2 weeks ago. It came with XP Professional SP2. It crashed. I updated the drivers. It still crashed with IRQ errors. I removed the upgraded RAM. It still crashed. I used firefox and it crashed.
I couldn't go to Vista and XP was still so buggy.
Oh, and I have sticky notes on my desktop. :)

A couple of really cool
A couple of really cool tools that I've discovered recently...
GNS3 is an excellent graphical network simulator. Like visio but the routers run real IOS. It works good with 3640 IOS set at 128MB and don't forget to set the IDLEPC value in the default.
Putty Connection Manager
Rightmark CPU clock utility. Tweak your CPU to get more batter life or performance....
Process Explorer is a taskmanger.
Virtual Box is like VMWare Workstation but FREE.
