Sync byte by byte. - Posted 21:59 Friday 15 Aug 2008

Bought Ipod Touch.
Update – took forever. And then some.
Infocom adventures being loaded. This will please me greatly.
Oh – sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait-sync-wait
Can’t forget that. How slow? Does it check abso-bloody-lutely every-frigging-thing? Thankfully I have work to keep me occupied while it does it’s byte by byte comparison. You know if the Zune was this slow what the Apple [...]

Lord of War

+ another piece of software
+ Windows Explorer
+ Zen Vision M

The Zen I had was full of podcasts I used at the gym so seeing the Vision M at a lower price I convinced J that me owning a new shiny gadget was very much in order. Amazingly [...]

Yesterday was the occasion of the bi-annual garage clean / sort.
I found my Sony MiniDisc player complete with several MD’s (AJ – I have a shiny blue disc full of VNV Nation. I’ve learned to smile since so do you want it back? ;) ) and it all appears to be in working order. I [...]

Great demo of computer controlled text using flames. It’d be a reminder while cooking – “What’s on the end of the fork again?” (src: A Welsh View).
You could lie it flat and have a game of BurnBurnRevo :)
