A couple of years back, I posted this thread about an annoying problem in VMWare Fusion which occasionally stopped me from being able to run an image as in bridge mode.
Well, looks like I’ve finally sorted this one out. I don’t know if it’s the inclusion of new functionality in v2 or v3 of VMF but [...]

VMWare Fusion – Network Bridge error finally solved
Migrate iTunes to a new Mac
I couldn’t find anything, via Google nor the Apple support site, that explained in the simplest and quickest terms how to migrate a functioning iTunes library to a new Mac. I use a bunch of smart playlists to generate my own ‘radio station‘ playlist which relies on playcount, skip count, rating and other cool stuff. [...]
Cisco VPN Client on OSX
I’ve had a few problems with the Cisco VPN Client for Mac OS X (release 4.9.01 (100) ) recently.
I’d get intermittent “Error 51: Unable to contact the VPN subsystem” when opening the VPNClient appliaction.
Some times a reboot would fix it, sometimes it wouldn’t.
I can’t reliably reproduce it either, sometimes coming out of sleep breaks it, [...]
Wanted : Definitive iCal Entourage sync
Now that i’ve gotten hold of MS Office:Mac 2008 and an RSA Hardtoken (for VPN) I no longer need to use Windows at all for work or play. (I’ve also just ordered a new MBP through work, huzzah!)
Since i’ve got Entourage connected up to the Exchange server here at work, I want to be [...]
Has OS X 10.5.2 reset some security settings?
I’m pretty sure it has, I certainly haven’t turned this off.

The release notes for the update mentions “Improves stability and performance during log in.”.
Anyone else seen the same or worse?
First Apple 'Genius' Experience
If it was up to me, i’d just replace the cracked topcase on my Macbook myself. I’ve got the Macbook service manual (one that gets issued to the Official Apple Service Centre places) and it’s just as straight forward as I thought. However when I asked the Genius at my local Apple store if [...]
Apple Macbook – Build quality continued
In the short time since my previous post about my cracked Macbook i’ve been doing a bit of research and have found identical issues.
Here is a pic with the same problem in the same place, via this thread on Macrumours:

There’s even a Flickr group for this problem and an old Engadget post. [...]
Post MWSF Keynote shopping list
Definitely want to pick up the 1TB Time Capsule, much easier than remembering to connect up my external drive every night!
Also, i’m considering picking up an Apple TV to replace the old Mac Mini I have under my TV at the moment (Which i’m going to relocate to the music room to use as a [...]
OS X: Finder won't quit (WindowServer process?)
My last post mentioned that I was having some intermittant issues with my Macbook after resuming from sleep, in that after entering my password I just got a blank screen. Key presses result in an error tone and I have to close the lid and reopen it to gain access to OS X.
It just happened [...]
OS X: Finder won't quit – Logout Timeout
I’ve noticed a few problems with OS X on my Macbook over the last couple of weeks.
I’ve got added ‘Keychain Access’ to my menubar (or toolbar – the one up the top anyway) so that I can just hit ‘Lock Screen’ when I step away from my machine at work. In general it’s been [...]
