Crashing ipod touch

Reply

On September 4 the new Apple store opens in Leicester. I’ll be there. I’ll be holding an ipod touch and expecting to see a “genius” who can explain to me just why it is crashing (I bet he asks if it’s been jailbroken and regardless of what I say he’ll try to make me a liar) and then he’ll tell me just how long it’ll be until I can get one that .. “just works”.

So it syncs at every single chance, it crashes when updating over wifi, it crashes after updating and this latest crash and the second full restore of the day (it’ll take well over 2 hours btw) is for absolutely no reason that I can be to blame for. So that’s faulty software then. And all the way from California too. Ahhhhhhhh.

But seeing as the Apple site itself doesn’t disclose what you have to do in these situations then it must be a bug unknown to them so I must be entitled to a new one. I shall call them tomorrow.

NYC Jan 09

P nags me about wanting to go to the USA. Jacq found that Thomson have offers on right now so in January myself and P are heading to NY for a 4 night stay. She could have chosen SF but she opted for NY instead. Her job now is to plan that time to fit the best places in with ‘the best’ being entirely her choice.

No images for London

So, no image links at all. Just how damn stupid is that?

Tears

Sometimes the reality of having MS and the disability and the future outlook and the effects it has not just on her life but ours gets too much for J. Today was one such day. Upsetting.

Neat Socialthing feature

In facebook you can set it so that you see less of someone’s status updates. Useful because you don’t have to remove them as a friend, but you might still see some updates.
In Twitter you can’t not see someone unless you remove them. But you might not want to do that.

In Socialthing there is a grey bar with the person’s name. On the right of that you can choose a colour and next to that is an arrow. Clicking that lets you remove the person from your socialthing view. Neat.

I’d say telling the OP to pull the screws out of the computer would lead to less confusion.

P was at stage school this week and Friday night was the performance. As much as I dislike this sort of thing and even though I was duty bound to attend it was really good. So much so that I sought out the teacher and praised it and one of the actors in particular.

D was asked out by a Leicester City footballer. She declined, she declined again, she didn’t give her mobile number and her friend with her didn’t pass it on either. I think she’s really cool for that.

Lock Glitter up.

Gary Glitter ?in fear of vigilantes? as court blocks attempt to protest innocence. Times

Oh.
Are we meant to give a damn?
Would we find anyone guilty of any offence committed against the paedophile? I’d certainly hope not.

And did you see his lawyer on TV? Either he can’t afford a better company or it’s been cast down to them as a ‘prove yourself’ case. I think this means he has crap representation but hey, do we care about that either?
