This Find Out How page on the Apple site is good for newbies and experts alike. For instance, I didn’t know about how extensive the PDF support is, and whilst I already use AirTunes not enough people understand how wicked it is.

Looks like my Laptop hard disk is failing. Funnily enough, I first noticed the problem when my backup failed. So, in trying to fix the backup volume I deleted my old backups, now that I my disk is falling apart and I have no backup. Arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!

Frantically copying documents and, more importantly, mp3s to an external.

Copying stuff to an external drive in the Finder sucks! As every corrupt file causes the whole copy process to fail. Having more luck using mv in the terminal, as it will continue to copy despite finding corrupt files.

Erased disk and re-installed OS X, hoping that has fixed the bad disk sectors. Ho-hum. This post seems to sum-up what happened to me: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080129063748614

Disk erased, OS re-installed, data migrated (manually) and it looks like I still have problems:

Dec 1 08:59:38 MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: disk0s2: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED).

Is this the end of the road for my disk?

Amazing how useless Disk Utility is! Throughout this whole thing it has consistently argued that th disk is OK.

I like to run a pretty minimal OS X Dock, here’s how it looks when I start-up my MacBook:
Nice, huh? No applications, no distractions.
I do this because I like to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible, so I find all my applications by doing Spotlight searches, which can be activated by pressing Apple Key + SPACE.
I find this approach is faster and less distracting. I use Spotlight to find apps, email, files, folders, ical events, contacts, whatever. It’s faster than clicking around with a mouse.
Spotlight also has a few handy modifiers for performing more complex searches, you can use NOT, OR & AND along with your keywords. For example: name NOT .doc will search for things called name that are not Word docs.
