Lion Boot Disk
After listened to some podcasts about Lion installation, I decide to test out the DVD disk I made while I installed Lion to my Macs. According to the information I received from all the resources, the bootable disk should be burned from Disk Utility tool. Therefore, I am not sure if the DVD I burned directly from Finder to DVD is bootable or not. I have to test it out by restarting my Mac.

Delete Old Time Machine Backups
Recently I get several Time Machine warning messages about my TM is full. My mac’s disk space is about 271GB in use and my TM is 500GB. I have to either update my USB TM to bigger size or I have to delete some old backups. Before I go the former solution, I think the later one is quick solution for me, since I know my oldest backups can be removed without any concern.

Sometimes I get some applications or services hanging there with no response. One way to restart them is to quit or kill them first and then start them again.
