There was an initialization error. The current machine or system configuration is not supported [-70013]

I dug around in Google for a while, but couldn’t find anything valuable.

Then I checked apple’s support forums, and there was this post

It worked like a charm! Good luck!

Here’s a great tutorial on how to change the auto-refresh interval. It’s easy and takes about 2 mins.

Note: The only thing left out, is that you need to quit the notifier, and restart it for the preferences to take effect.

If you’re going to need to dump a very large mysql database, you’ll probably need to use “–single-transaction” to make it work.


mysqldump -u [username] -p --single-transaction [database name] > [your dump file].sql

I wanted to install subversion, so that I could build a website properly (version controlled, easy dev server setup, etc…)

I found a great tutorial for installing subversion on bluehost.com below.

It worked great for me, installing 1.6.4. Hopefully this helps point people in the right direction.

I’ve seen Rick for several weeks now, sitting on a bench next to Cherry Creek that runs through Denver. I had been nervous to look at him as I walked by, for fear that he would ask for money (which I never carry).

A few days ago, My beautiful wife had made home-made wheat bread, and packed me a sandwich along with something else for lunch. That morning as I was walking by Rick, I saw that he was examining his feet, which were in poor shape. I didn’t stare — I never stare — but at a glance I could tell.

I walked by, and tried to ignore this feeling that I had to stop and give him my sandwich. I walked a block further, and only thoughts of Christ, and the people he looked after, came to my mind. I got to the steps of my workplace and turned around.

I came up to Rick, and politely asked if he had anything for lunch. He replied that he didn’t. I offered him my sandwich, which he humbly and gratefully accepted (and commented at being excited that it was homemade bread).

We didn’t speak much that day, but since then, I’ve taken some time each morning, and have talked with him. He graduated from a local college, and even had taken graduate-level physics courses. He’s read all ‘the classics’ and can tell you just about anything from them — and is always reading something new. He even programmed when computers were the size of a room. He’s over 60 years old, and has been without a home for 6 years, but doesn’t mind it.

I now look forward to my brief morning meetings with Rick, and the things he has to talk about…

We decided it was time to purchase a handgun before we actually may need it, or this Congress and Administration makes unconstitutional laws regarding them. It really is time to act now.
