Change Leopard's Time Machine schedule
Leopard's helpful backup tool, Time Machine, backs up your Mac every hour by default. However, that schedule may not suit your lifestyle. TimeMachineEditor is an application that allows you to configure a different interval for your backups. We like the granularity with which you can set Time Machine: "Once a day" (choose the hour), "Once a week" (choose the day and hour), "Once a month" (choose day of month and hour).
Time Machine is a godsend for those of us who don't backup as often as we should. However, Apple didn't offer many configuration options for Time Machine. TimeMachineEditor gives you some of this missing control.

Thanks!
Hopefully when I trigger it here at 1:00p my backups will be labeled as 1:00, 2:00 etc. because looking at 12:58, 1:58 etc. is starting to get annoying... just looks cluttered.

Has anyone noticed that ever since Leopard's release, more people take screenshots of windows in their colourless, inactive state?

Unfortunately Time Machine is just one more example of Apple delivering shiny garbage. Hopefully it will become real practical in a few iteration, just like Mail.app that finally looks like a real product.
