Well, don’t I just feel like a heel. Do you want to know what I’ve been up to? Do you? Well, it all started with the computer. Everything was too easy. I figured it would be a good time to get all my music from the iPod back onto the computer. You see, I used to delete music off of the hard drive back when space was a bit more limited.

Anyway, so this is not something you can just do. The powers that be have purposely set things up so that you cannot go from iPod to computer. Something about the potential of piracy… So, I had to get on the VersionTracker and find a handy application to do this. Which was easy, but non-intuitive. Needless to say without going into a lot of detail I ended up with duplicates of over 2000 song files. When I tried to fix that with yet another handy and non-intuitive application I erased more than half of the files. So, re-transfered from the ‘pod, got my back up off of the external hard drive, and spent well over 6 hours manually cleaning up the file/duplicate/path problems of the 2675 songs.

When it was all said and done, my quest for the 150 or so missing songs set me back about 250. I now have less than I started with. Lesson learned.

I use my computer a lot. It truly is a “digital hub”. It connects to the camera, the cell, and the iPod. I use it for this, my finances, bill paying, shopping, heck I even use it to record TV! Now I’ve discovered Phlink. My mac taking my calls. I think I like that!

I have no time AND a boring life.

I did get to Macworld though. Big geeky fun! Yay! I was good this year. I only bought one game. Last year was another story.

Oh, this is pure genius! And, I have to say, I do think the iPod mini is a tad pricey. You can spend just fifty more and get a better iPod. Anyway, back to my game.
