digitaldisciplinePlenty of charm on display at the other blog today. And some more polite mumblings at SG.
In shit that's relatively germane here, I recently got an iPod on the cheap, and am thus far not very fucking impressed in the vaunted Apple User Experience. iTunes is slower than fuck, even on a 3Ghz quad-core system with 8GB of ram, and I don't exactly have an epic music collection to sort through. As for the "Genius" feature... well, it doesn't comprehensively suck, but there's enough annoyance there to keep me going for a while. Just making playlists for the garage, so they're going with a lot of crossover based on the seed tracks. Which is fine, especially considering, of the portions of my collection that aren't classical or trance, almost everything else is EBM and metal.
Work was all kinds of fun today after being out Friday, and shorthanded, and assembling stuff for a meeting. We had something like forty-some tickets by the time I went to lunch, and I'd burned an entire hour on a single call for a fucking Excel spreadsheet that was probably jacked off by the people who created it, even though they want to blame us. If it's not their fault, it's one of Microsoft's "critical security updates" from last week. Fucking awesome, right there.
I'm going to have some soup, remain pissed off, and maybe lift. Kim's zoo lost two animals today, so she's in an even better mood than I am.
