Ironically it's a software problem. Apparently formatting an iPod for MS DOS is not a smart idea. I blame all of this for the fact that the Windows Xp comp in our office doesn't read HFS... this is what I get for trying to connect to a PC.

Sigh... Disk Utility and iPod updater don't work.

In other news: I'm recovering from a cold.

Oh, and I got a great alarm clock yesterday. The entire face lights up from behind in red. Works, too.

Much as I'd like to go back to bed, I have a ten-hour workday ahead of me, so I should probably shower now.

Railroader · Sep 23, 2005, 02:24 AM

I am at work.

Warung · Sep 23, 2005, 02:37 AM

I'm running around wearing a Teletubbies costume whilst whisteling the theme of "The Wizard of Oz" and deep frying bananas.

Well, I'm back from the shower...and you'll NEVER guess what I found while cleaning out my nostril...I'll post another thread on it later when I get pics.

Railroader · Sep 23, 2005, 02:40 AM

Still at work. But not "working". I did have to do that earlier though.

iMOTOR · Sep 23, 2005, 02:49 AM

It's 12.49 Am PST, I'm so ashamed of my insomnia.

Disgruntled Head of C-3PO · Sep 23, 2005, 10:33 AM

Looks like your mom's going to have to make another call to Apple support!

I think I caught analogika's cold.

paul w · Sep 23, 2005, 10:47 AM

I'm at the beach. I have more than one perfectly functioning iPod.

I win.

xi_hyperon · Sep 23, 2005, 10:47 AM

Dudes, I'm on my second cup of coffee RIGHT NOW. I mean, holy crap.

mdc · Sep 23, 2005, 10:54 AM

i just got off a 30 minute call to some lady in atlanta whose windows xp laptop could not connect to our network.

get this:
i got her to go find a network cable and plug it in. while she was walking my ping [ip address] -t (same as mac os ping, keeps going until you stop it) managed to ping her. then it stopped. i told her to stop walking. she stops. doesn't ping. take a few steps backwards. works. forward. not working. backwards and stay there. works.

i told her to walk around until she finds a desk and i could still ping her. she found one, i could ping, and i told her not to move the laptop and sit there and work.

windows = job security

Eriamjh · Sep 23, 2005, 12:29 PM

I need to buy new underwear.

RAzaRazor · Sep 23, 2005, 12:33 PM

I had a breakfast burrito for breakfast. It was good. I think I'll go wash my car at lunch time. Not much going on at work today. Just moved the big company website to a new server. That was fun, though to everyone else it sounds terribly complex. So now I can goof off all day as long as I am frowning at my monitor. They'll think I'm working really hard.

BlueSky · Sep 23, 2005, 12:39 PM

analogika, still waiting for those nose pics.

historylme · Sep 23, 2005, 01:01 PM

I think I'm going to have my third cup now. It's Friday, why the hell not... WTHN!

Randman · Sep 23, 2005, 01:08 PM

I may be sick but at least I can listen to 1776 on my iPod while in bed. Now, do I use my iPod photo, the new Nano or maybe the now-redundant shuffle ...

xi_hyperon · Sep 23, 2005, 01:15 PM

I'm wearing pants now.

I thought I'd try a plaid skirt but I forgot to shave my legs.

dcmacdaddy · Sep 23, 2005, 01:25 PM

Anybody seen my screw-driver? I gotta take apart a harddrive I'm working on.
If you've got a #2 Phillips I can borrow PM it to me. Thanks!

IFLY2HIGH · Sep 23, 2005, 01:32 PM

It's 2:30, sitting at home, woke up about 2 hours ago, maybee I'll go out and do something in town...

waxcrash · Sep 23, 2005, 01:34 PM

They hired this temp today at work and she already has told me her life story. A month ago her boyfriend who is the father of her son kicked her out. She's completely broke. She and her son have been living on some friends couch for the last month. She keeps telling me how her ex-boyfriend was verbally abusive and would sleep around. She keeps asking when we get paid because she can't wait to get some money to buy some clothes and get her nails/hair done.

phantomdragonz · Sep 23, 2005, 01:36 PM

our damn gas is not working, so I cant take a shower! I have to go to work in about hour and a half and I dont have any freaking hot water!!! GRR!!!

waxcrash · Sep 23, 2005, 01:37 PM

Now she feels like screaming…and she thinks the nail on her big toe is going to fall off.

There's a country-western song there somewhere.

Salty · Sep 23, 2005, 01:44 PM

Hmm turns out Software restore works... you just have to leave it on all night

Not sure what time it finished but this morning it was asking me for my password, and my iPod now works again... now I just need to find my headphones.

kmkkid · Sep 23, 2005, 01:45 PM

I'm bored.

Salty · Sep 23, 2005, 01:46 PM

Oh in other news the church I'm interning at decided that they're going to be giving me an honorarium every pay period! Basically, not a lot of money, not terribly close to a salary, but still a lot more than I have to my name (until I cash the cheque $0). So I'm happy! Did I mention I love my church?

waxcrash · Sep 23, 2005, 01:54 PM

I need to remember to pick up some condoms on the way home from work tonight.

historylme · Sep 23, 2005, 02:01 PM

What, for the new chick at the office?

No, my girlfriend is coming to stay with me for the weekend. I haven't seen her in a month.

If she's waring a plaid skirt and didn't shave her legs... it's not your girlfriend.

I wore a kilt to work on Tuesday, was very pleasant. Highly recommended.

Shut up and show us her boobies.

Don't they make those doughnut shaped inflatable pillows for such a situation? My dad uses one at football games, makes a hell of a difference.

I have a buzz. I'm working on a stupor!

Atomic Rooster · Sep 23, 2005, 05:34 PM

I'm listening to 'Life in a Glasshouse' by Radiohead and I'm feeling so sad now.

I feel like a sardine in a crushed can.

mdc · Sep 23, 2005, 06:09 PM

sardines are dead before they get in the can
