myPod home again

So, I know its a completely different unit - but now its got my media loaded back on it has taken on the identity of myPod - and that'll do me.

I was impressed by the fact that the casing is shiny and scratch free and actually looks newer than myfirstPod did when I first unwrapped it. And, yes its a nice Gen 3!

Only quibbles: The pod arrives Mac formatted, so it took a bit of fiddling to flatten and convert to PC - the desk top updater client couldn't handle it properly but some Apple OSesque windowed version of the updater popped up after docking for the forth time and did the necessary in the end. PC doesn't crash, iTunes syncs automatically and all is well and good - Even those PIL files seam to be playing fine.

My faith in Apple restored - the whole process was pretty painless and because myPod was still under warranty didn't cost me bean.

Starting afresh

So, this blog seems somewhat sparse for 2010, thats the effect of a mixture my focus being elsewhere and the blogger service altering its range of publishing options and me only just getting around to switching. The blog has now moved to techiedog.blogspot.com . Still ... onwards and upwards.

Winter Wonderland

The first snow of the season fell here yesterday afternoon. So, I know I'm a 'grown up', but I can't help but get excited by such things. My Dad always said that people loose the wonder and excitement of snow fall once they have to start commuting to work. I'm lucky, if I look at the window and the roads are impassable, I don't have to bother heading off to the office. Thanks to the technology of my trade home working is habitual anyway. Is technology responsible for allowing me to keep a sense of wonder, and enjoy the vagaries of mother nature for what she is, rather than seeing her meteorological mood swings only in terms the effect of my daily grind. Maybe, or maybe I'm just an entry level weather geek! Whatever, come lunchtime I'm off to take Monty the dog out to play in the snow!
