Aaron Baer - Connect the Dots

Oh sad sad day.. Brad and Jennifer are spliting. After 7 years even.. say it ain’t so.. anyway…

Busy freakin’ week this week. Things have shimmied into overdrive at work. It was a good week there though I was able to stay on task and have everything going smoothly for my scheduled development tasks. Next week starts the nitty gritty but I think it’s going to go quiet alright this year. Things are definately more on the ball than the last few years as far as the business getting decissions made and being proactive on making this year go well..

But enough of that.. I got the Pod today.. so now I guess I’m part of the Pod People. I’ve been Podified. Awesome device. She will be named “slyPod”. Living life with a real time sound track is something that I’ve been waiting for now for a long time. Of course I ran into the normal issues that I see around the web regarding using the iPod mainly with linux. I thought that I was going to be able to leave it formated hfs+ and was successfull the first night copying tracks and files but the next morning I ran into it. The whole can only mount you read only and wanting me to fsck.hfsplus it. There wasn’t anything wrong with it.. I could mount it fine to Danielle’s iBook.. and I found that there currently just isn’t a work around for linux. So I reformated it fat32 and now it works with everything. Must get three things; firewire for the laptop I use 95% of the time, a protective cover for the devices itself, and some freakin’ better headphones. I tell you.. you’d think they’d ship better ear buds right off for a device that cost so much. But they’re mediocre at best. I’m sure there are reasons they do it that way…. but as I said before… anyway……

So today Eden’s at school until 3:30 and I’m going with Danielle to help here pick out some more stuff for her computing environment. Printer.. speakers… mouse… ear buds… you know the usual stuff. That should be fun. I’ll have to look around for some accessories for my new slyPod too.

So I think I’ll chill out a bit more… Lots of things to take care of this weekend. It must be the busy season.. Because I’m busy!
