Shiny new learning (Slight return)

• Lock a set of people from all over the place into a small air-conditioned room for the thick end of a week and The Lurgi will spread. Thus we find that the JHR is both thick and snotty. Bugger. We also find that the inside of the (Nat West) Tower/42 is tiny and that if you're in the bogs, the high-speed lifts sound like passing tube trains. That

The Hoxton is indeed very nice, it's a shame their "sale day" website is such an arse.
The black marble bathrooms do seem to cry out for one to do *bad things*...or is that just me. ;0)

Stop using the file system to encode metadata. it's 1½-dimensional at best. Just use ID3 tags and stop worrying.

See above. When the shonky applications that badly overlay the metadata onto the FS model actually DTRT in re. UI I shall think about it, and not before.

(ie - The Creative 'file explorer' appears to subclass a standard XP explorer window, allowing right-click cut&paste. However, when you 'drill down' (hateful phrase) into an empty directory, C&P functionality is missing, replaced by a helpful 'use drag & drop to move files' tooltip. Drag and drop does not work.)

They're all as bad as each other. Bastards.

Creative? That'll be where the problem comes in, then. I guess you have a device that requires it?

I fear so. A Zen. Thankfully one can just give it a local folder to 'sync' with and thus avoid most of their b0rked s/w.
