A week of technological disasters

My week of technological disasters goes from bad to worse. Lost the camera (it still has not turned up yet), and as previously mentioned the only hard drive on our PC is corrupted. I got the Windows XP disks and tried recovering it, but no joy, so or...

My computer is dead!

Bah, turned it on today and I'm getting the blue screen of death with a unmountable_boot_volume error. Thought at first it was the backup drive or an IPOD plugged in, but no, it's the one and only hard drive that is knackered. Apparently I might be a...

PHREADZ podcast

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of th...

ipod classic 160gb

Just wanted to update what I had a bit, tonnes more storage and video and that now, brilliant! Not sure what to do with the old one now.

RE: BACK, from Amsterdam

which ipod did you get? i heart my classic especially in the car.

BACK, from Amsterdam

And got me a new IPOD for my birthday, and still got another day off work. And, it's still boiling hot, it's been like a real summer the past few days.

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

A tape deck without pretensions

Recently I remembered we had an old portable stereo in our kitchen, unused for years and years and I thought "great, I can plug my IPOD into that" and have music in the kitchen. We have a little ipod dock and speakers combo but it's a bit worn out an...

Too old to rock

have my new starter at work, our industrial placement from Canterbury University for the year. He seems a nice guy, but in making conversation I asked him what he was listening to... Simply Red! Phil Collins! Robbie Williams! This guy is not even twe...

My lot are a registered company

But your you're right, that does seem slightly bullshit that you have to pay the licensing fee and then not actually be licensed...I still don't fully understand online radio, if you're paying 50 quid a month for 10 simultaneous streams, how is a rad...

Hacking the WidePod

OK, I have not actually hacked the new ipod Touch yet, I do not have one and have not seen one in the flesh, but I wanted to have a post on subject anyway. I love the idea of being able to go online on the device, but if it's all geared towards just...

I ain't afraid of no ghosts

Strange email of the day:My name is **** and I am very interested to hear that you have had strange experiences at the Mayfly. I am part of a Paranormal Investigation team called �Beyond The Mist� and am enquiring if you would allow us to do an Inves...

Meet the new boss

How bizarre to have a coronation instead of an election to decide our new prime minister. I'm not sure if Gordon Brown will make a good / bad / better / worse prime minister, but it doesn't feel right to have him ushered in in this way, it's only goi...

Technology, and how it cancels itself out

Bah, got my wireless camera working in the house at last, for the first time since we went over to BT HomeHub and all the settings changed, and what happens the very same day? The IPOD stopped working. I suspect Apple monitor the blog and heard about...

Should I buy me a new IPOD?

It feels like ages since I bought myself something new, should I get a video ipod? It feels a little be decadent, as my old IPOD is still working just fine, after four years or however long it's been, I just want some of the new functionality, like ...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

Boohoo, I preferred their earlier stuff

This is rubbish:Oh, boohoo, i preferred the earlier stuff, now everyone's got an IPOD, it's not fair! What sort of massive 'lord is he anyway if he has to keep taking his computer into the "genius" bar to get it fixed? Just bang it on the desk until...

Don't be planting ideas like that!

It's not just average plod, I'm not sure how anyone would be able to look at my IPOD and be able to tell which tracks I'd ripped myself and which ones I'd downloaded (except for the ones that say "rIpP3d 3y sUp3rh4x0r" in the ID3 comment tag).I'm not...

RE: Glastonbury ticket touts FOILED!

I think their argument would be "to cover the inevitable piracy" but I'm with you - the less the charge for tracks the less people would bother to pirate them. If they can get down to somewhere between 15-30p per track they'd make a mint. Why would...

How I am the best at IPOD / genres / tagging / etc...

A valued chum just posed these questions by email, and it fired me off in a huge response, so I thought I'd whack it up here too...1. When you have a CD what are you using to rip the CD, what bitrate and what codec are you using?2. what is the minimu...

Luncheon fiasco

Bah, forgot my lunch today, all I remembered was the fruit component. There are no shops within walking distance, and though there are vending machines here at work, one stole my money and failed to deliver my crisps the other day, so not sure about ...

RE: IPOD vs Cassette

read your blog about you living at Primerose hill and spotting a lot of celebs there. Heard you talk about Sharleen spiteri as well. Could you tell me if she still lives there, or has she moved back to Glasgow yet, after het splitt up with A. Heath?W...

RE: TCPMP to view them on the ipod

do you mean tcpmp to view them on the ipaq?

virtual dub is a h to the a to the double s l e dizzle alright. i was hoping that there's some snazzy little program what does it all for you. harumf.

TCPMP to view them on the ipod

And VirtualDub I think to resize them to IPAQ size. TCPMP site has been down for the past few weeks, and I need to reinstall, bah...

If only we'd known that iPods would unite and overthrow the very humans they entertained

From The Simpsons, via Wired:A citizen of the future laments: If only we'd known that iPods would unite and overthrow the very humans they entertained... HEY! My IPOD has come back to life now, I think, I've managed to restore it and get it talking t...

Thursday morning roundup

Just caught the end of something on BBC Breakfast, advice on blogging and work, or why not to blog about work, something like that. A few sites / posts were held up as bad examples, I wasn't one of them, it was all fairly basic stuff:* Don't be posti...

Finally

Installing linux on my ipod... been meaning to do this for ages, but been having trouble connecting the IPOD to the pc for a while, turns out to have been some sort of conflict with the tv card I was trying out. Taken that out, as it never worked any...

RE: An honest day's work!

paiting ceiling's are not nice. use your delts far more than they'd normally be used.so, random question of the day - do you know off the top of your head any good sites for pimping up blackberry's etc (like ilounge for ipod) or just general knowledg...

Drought, in the fields, the fighting's just begun...

How irresponsible are Amazon right now? They're advertising this 'domestic' high pressure washer (400 litres per hour) and this upright high pressure washer (530 litres per hour) on their home and garden homepage. I went there looking for things to a...
