In pursuit of my running aims, and because I have been tech thwarted for over a year (stupid lithium ion batteries, stupid airlines, stupid sexy Flanders) I bought myself an iPod Nano on Friday over lunch. It's pink and it's 8gigs, and that is because that is all they had. LOL. Good thing I kinda like the pink ( Read more... )

I think they're onto me. I just got an invite to a "special meeting" and dinner with Microsoft. <.< >.> There will also be a special announcement. Hmmmm....very interesting.....

With your pretty eeepcs and all. I want one. I have a very nice laptop but I want one. RAWR. Ok, so since I'm going down the slippery slope and all, I have a question. Um, how much space do you have free on your eeepcs. This would also go with how big of a drive did you buy? I'm looking at this one ( Read more... )

Managed to screw up my internet.  It's fix, thankfully the desktop has a password holder program, so I could get the username and password for my DSL off of it.  *rolls eyes*  You'd think that I could set up my own network and I can!  I can do it with domains and high speed ATM and GDCs and Servers and such.  My home network of two whole computers ( Read more... )

I'm starting to suspect that I've got something on the laptop that has now infected the rest of my gadgets. I keep getting a fatal error on the PDA when I try to sync it and the iPod, sigh... it's still all flaky on whether or not it's charging. It randomly resets as well. Now, before I get lambasted, I've got Norton on it and it now has current ( Read more... )

So I found this old CD that proclaims to be my mp3 collection. But I had a problem, as the sound on my desktop has decided not to work (I've given up on that for the moment) and my laptop has broken it's CD-Rom. I think Houdini sat on it. I'd blame the muse, but he's a half invisible turtle so doesn't weight very much. BUT! I pluged the ( Read more... )

My inner geek got a super thrill today. I want one of these!! So very very cool. No moving parts, no harddrive. Sweeeet! You save everything onto a USB or something such. You can put a harddrive in it, but can you imagine how secure your files would be if you never kept them on the computer. I wish I had known about that when I went to ( Read more... )

That's how long my iPod lasted. Not even really because it started going haywire on Tuesday but I left it until I got home to see if I could fix it. It won't charge, won't turn on, zip zilch nada. I haven't dropped it, kept it in my purse or on the stand in my study. Tuesday I enabled the disk so I could save a copy of my fics on the ipod so I' ( Read more... )

So the iPod still doesn't work on my desktop. I asked a couple of communities and they said that a. it was fixed in the latest kernel patch (not so much really) and b. that I should be using Suse 9.3 (I use 9.2). Sigh...ok, fine. I'll see what it woudl take to upgrade. I don't want to have to dowload 5 x 650 Megs worth of files to my harddrive ( Read more... )
