Confessions of a podcast junky

May 2nd, 2006 Rev No comments

Since I got my 4G Nano this Christmas - Thanks love. Thanks Pappy - I’ve been constantly listening to podcasts. I have a couple token albums on there. But mostly it’s 4 Gigs of podcasts. I listen non-stop which is good and bad. Bad because I can’t seem to keep it loaded with new content. I’m looking for more shows to keep me listening through out the week. Any suggestions?

Reminder of the obvious

Someone lent me a 256MB USB Key so I can shuttle project files back and forth to work. Last night I spent all night - when I wasn’t trying to keep the kids happy - designing a database I need for the latest feature for my project at work. I had a nice little ER diagram all done up in Dia. Exported it to a png file that I could bring to work, print, and doodle on. Plugged in the USB key and copied it over and then promptly yanked the key out. I set it on the nightstand and drifted off to sleep.

I got to work this morning and plugged it in and no file. I’d noticed that with a couple files yesterday as well.

My guess - since I’ve seen hints of it elsewhere - You have to UNMOUNT your key. Not just yank it. =/ As I was yanking the usb key out with much flair I had a flash that this might be the case. But I figured I was paranoid and went to bed.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean you’re not right. *shrug*

It’s coming

Well, I ordered it. I got a referel bonus for a co-worker and went ahead and ordered the XFX GeForce 6600GT. Can’t say as I don’t feel a liiiiiittle guilty. I dunno. It’s hard to balance responsibility with personal desire. Dunno when you really DESERVE something. But a small slice of my referel bonus isn’t too much. Maybe.

Perhaps I’ll do something responsible with the rest. Like pay off the credit card. Or… I could do something for a certain someone. Hmmm yeeeaaah.
