Today, Jane and I have:

• Been to York
• Seen Catherine and Jonathon and his brother
• Been for Sunday lunch at Wetherspoon's which was nice other than them forgetting our puddings
• Been to see Glyn
• Been to Thixendale with Glyn and
• Walked part of the Wolds Way, before realising that we were completely unprepared for a walk that looked much more involved than the route map suggested, and walked back again
• Ate ice-cream from the village shop in Thixendale
• Eaten curry at the place near Glyn's
• Come home

All in all, we've had a great day and am now knackered. Jane's just left and I'm considering several things. Once again the idea of jacking it all in and going temping in Shropshire/Chester/Manchester has come back, thanks to Glyn :) Also considering doing evening courses/OU course/FT course in some "real" engineering discipline (Mechanical/Electrical/Civil) Engineering.

More ideas than I can deal with.

I-f***ing-tunes again.
I tell it to automatically update my podcasts, and one playlist. I go to use it later, only to find all the music that was on it appears not to be there any more. It appears that iTunes had decided that instead of automatically updating the relevant tracks and leaving the rest alone, it would delete the rest.

I don't understand this software. I don't know how it works, how it makes it's decisions, how it thinks that it should work. It's so mind-bogglingly un-intuitive that I'm giving up with it, and will fork out US$20 to buy Anapod Explorer - as long as it deals with Podcasts in a reasonable manner.

I wouldn't mind so much if I wasn't talking over 450 tracks! 450 tracks removed from the device without so much as a warning.
