Blog Post The Second

I've decided that I shall update every month on the same date as the last +1... not exactly sure how this will work out near the end of the months, but I'm sure I'll botch something together that somewhere, someone will get cranky about. But I don't really care. So yeah, rather updating every minute with intense minutely available action, it'll probably be whatever comes to mind during the month.

Anyway, I got a letter from logitech customer support saying that since I didn't reply to the last unhelpful email telling me that I should ring their hotline, the problem status has magically been changed into solved! Which it is in fact, not solved at all. I'd just prefer to not have to call some ridiculously expensive hotline only to get put on hold, told things I already know and told to try things that I already have or cannot achieve.

Reading the boycott starforce site and thought it was rather hilarious to find a game called Pferdehof - Pferd und Pony. I'm hazarding a guess that 'tis not an English title, but I find it gigglesome none the less.

iPod. I have one, and now my sister has an even shinier one, one of those newfangled video pods. 'tis very shiny and I'm a tad jealous that her's is 60Gb and mine be 20Gb. Anyway, I thought, "sweet", shouldn't be too much of a problem to run them both from the same PC... but oh no.

Not only can she not plug it in through the FireWire cable, which provides far faster transfer rates, but if I'm logged in to my user account and fast switch to hers, iTunes won't run. So I switch back and close iTunes and switch back. iTunes opens up, but the iPod won't open or anything because aparrently, there's some other iPod (no there isn't) plugged in and hogging nothing. There is absolutely nothing for it to hog since this other non-existant iPod is exactly that... non-existant.

Anyway, we work around it, and it's ok... but it could have certainly been far less finicky.

In other Apple related news, a well paid job or A$4000 would be great sometime soon as I'm quite interested in the MacBook Pro. Been using PCs and Windows for my whole life, and I want a change of pace, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.

Well, date+1... almost missed it, but there's still 5 minutes left of today, so I thought I'd write down that there was something that I was going to write, it came to me just as I was going to bed. "I'll remember it in the morn and post it then," Says I. But naturally, I forgot... so yeah, time to post this sucker.

Perhaps next post will be more ... insightful... or at least eventful, as on the 31st I am going to see a comedian bloke by the name of Ross Noble. My sister gave me his DVD for Christmas... I don't mean that she actually went to his house and thieved a DVD from him and gave me that, rather, it is a DVD with two of his shows on it. Hilarity +11. Anyway, going to see him LIVE! Should be immensely enjoyable. Hoorah!
