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 was having a leisurely evening, after a great meal and a few glasses of wine. A little TV. Some conversation. A little more wine. Richard went to bed early after his long workday. I wasn’t sleepy, so I thought I’d play around on the computer. After a while, I was ready to go to bed. Or so I thought.

That’s right when I realized my major mistake of the night. I forgot about the laundry I put in at seven. Shit.

It could be all done, folded and put away by now, if I were paying attention. The worst part is that it’s my work clothes, so I can’t just turn on the dryer and leave it till morning. I don’t believe in that “turn it on again to get the wrinkles out” crap. It never works for me!

Seems I may be up for a while… Good thing I don’t work tomorrow.

So, I found out that ecto has built in HTML for formating paragraphs. Why is this good? I will now have pretty fancy posts!     
Yay!
