Freakin' Weird

[troupatour]

I'm actually just marginally creeped out by my iPod today. It's possessed. I've made note when it's randomly chosen something ironic in the past, but today (06/06/06) I've had the following play on random

Now tell me you also didn't load those hellish songs on your ipod and then *I'll* be freaked. ;)

they're on auto-load. I could explain the algorythm if you want... but I didn't EXPLICITLY load them. It sort of freaked me out until I looked at the calendar and the last-played dates to figure out how it all happened.

I don't understand ipods but if that's right, then very cool. Your ipod is going to hell when it dies.

It's mostly not the iPod. It's the auto-playlists that I built. I put too much Mensa and computer programmer knowledge into making things shuffle on and off automatically so my music server can have 500Gb of music and shuffle it on a 20Gb MP3 player. Like I said, if you really want to know what I did, I can explain it in detail. The short version is that I intentionally put all of this onto a single playlist with some other stuff last Halloween, and so it gets on at roughly the same time. I'll probably have a lot of this playing and shuffling on and off of the iPod for the rest of the next 2 weeks. It's just odd that it got on today.

Yes, I'd say so. But no details are needed. Just this sentence: I put too much Mensa and computer programmer knowledge into making things shuffle on and off automatically so my music server can have 500Gb of music and shuffle it on a 20Gb MP3 player

made my eyes glaze over and roll back into my head.
