I still hate iTunes.
Unsurprisingly, I’m not alone in my hatred of iTunes. A handful of people have commented on my previous post back in June in a similar vein. Well the hatin’ just keeps on comin’. My wife just converted over to Anapod Explorer after grappling with iTunes. As soon as she said “I just want to drag […]
Seriously, I’m still around
That spring I was talking about on my K550DTN printer, the one that came dislodged? It actually got jammed and I had to bend it beyond repair to remove it. HP sent me a new lower tray gratis, but they haven’t updated the design.
nope, not dead, still here
We went to Cedar Point, Ohio for the weekend of my birthday and had a fun getaway. I rode all the coasters at the park, especially on Sunday when it was shockingly not very busy at all. I walked onto most coasters with no wait, and boy, what a selection they have. Top Thrill Dragster […]
Dear fellow commuters:
Please divide yourselves into two groups: Those of you who are able to walk in a straight line, at a steady pace, and don’t drag those bloody wheeled suitcases, please keep left. The rest of you who insist on: walking like a drunk walking extremely slowly in the middle of the path, often while reading, […]
Turn left, young man
On Saturday we went to the weekly stock car races at Mosport and I brought Calum along to take some photos of cars going in a circle really really fast. Amateur oval racing, that is. His photo gallery is here and there are some nice shots there.
The Poor Man’s TeleZapper – or, the selective TeleZapper
Perhaps you’ve heard of a unique device called the TeleZapper. It’s a simple device which is designed to automatically disconnect and delete your number from their call list. But how? Well, have you ever called a wrong number and heard those funny three tones before the recorded message? Those tones are there to indicate to […]
iPod Windows software that actually works
I uninstalled iTunes. I feel much better now. And I found two indispensible pieces of software for my iPod that actually work properly, and the way I expect the iPod to work: Anapod Explorer – integrates any iPod directly into Windows like any other mobile device – that is, it appears as a device under […]
Oh yeah, I have more to bitch about
Above is a diagram of various 1/8″ AV port pinouts. My Pepper has a “standard” camcorder port, and I have a standard cable. Works great. But does Apple use the same pinout, no! Of course not! They have to switch the shit all around. Whoops! Jon pointed out that my cable will still work – […]
I hate iTunes.
Well, it turned out to be an early, iPod-laden anniversary. Sandy got me an iPod 60GB and I got her a 4GB Nano. So now we’re officially part of the cult followers er, group. Of course, no iPod is complete without that freakin’ weird looking (from this Linux/Windows user’s perspective) music manager, iTunes. Appleganda says […]
In summary…
Last week and this week have been incredibly busy at work for me. Crazy-go-nuts busy, sometimes. I was on call for a week, and boy is that fun – NOT. Having my TV or sleep schedules interrupted by a little beeping tablet of plastic (a pager) is not my idea of a good time. Jordan’s […]
