  • Thinking that LJ's Jabber server is a great idea
  • Wishing that iTunes didn't suck arse so badly
  • Wondering if I can get hold of some new speakers, as the harmon/kardon set Bob gave me years ago have partially died
  • Looking for a powered USB2 hub
  • Importing CDs
  • Scanning articles, reviews of Jekyll & Hyde from the local papers
  • Thinking that it's cold
  • Wondering whether to switch ISPs. It's an debate I've been having in my mind for ages. We're at the end of 12 months with Eclipse and whilst they've been pretty good, reliable and nothing has gone horribly wrong apart from a couple of outages, they're nothing special.

    I also really like the BT Vision boxes. Jane's parents have one and it just seems to work. The remote control is a disgusting abomination, but other than that.
  • Considering whether I can be arsed to go make mashed potato and grill some sausages

What has itunes done to make you so cross with it?

iTunes has made me cross from the day I started using it. It's large, clunky, slow and it "does things" without asking.

As an example, I spent a long time using a 3rd party app to edit some ID3 tags in a way which there was no easy way to do using iTunes. When I loaded up iTunes again it decided that no - it knew best - and put everything back to how it thought that they should be.

However, it is still the best thing around to sync my iPod with that I have found, so I stick with it.

I can recommend Vision - remember who i work for lol however check your freeview reception and aerial before hand as you can lose channels and need an aerial upgrade. I have it upstairs as a secondary box for my daughter and she loves it!

Well if you think they're good then that's a positive sign! I know some companies whose employees think their newest products are rubbish (*cough*mine?*cough*)!
