aaaarrrrgggghhhhh-Tunes

Here goes for another rant....

I've had it up to here with iTunes! The other day I finally got fed up with organising my music collection myself, so unleashed iTunes and it's automatic stuff. After what felt like watching paint dry trying to sort through all the Unknown Artists and their Unknown Albums, just because iTunes doesn't have the sense to look at file names when there's a blank tag, and having to go through numbering tracks of albums to get them in order (again, because iTunes doesn't think to check the original filename for the number) iTunes has now decided to start making some of my hard drives disappear from Windows Explorer :(

No, it's not magic, it's extrememly annoying as it's happened several times now. Today, just as I first opened it and played a track, iTunes complained that its library had disappeared. Sure enough, the drive with the iTunes library had gone again, taking everything on the same controller card with it, requiring a restart before they decided to come back again. Yes, I realise this may be unrelated, but it's never happened before and iTunes is the obvious thing to blame right now because of all the grief it's given me recently. So in hindsight, keeping my music files orgainsed myself was actually a lot less hassle than iTunes is worth. Grrrr.

Another rant over :)

I think they're being too nice actually....

Yes, this is the news that a school has left a confidential report laying around in the street containing details of several pupils and their educational needs and circumstances. Not only that, they also use rather colourful language in describing them, such as "ding bat", "wally" and saying that one boy's mother was "quite rough".

When I saw which school it was I was actually surprised how nice they had been - I can think of far more accurate things to say about most of the brats who go there. "Quite rough" by Howard standards must be extremely bad! Still, it brightened up my Monday morning anyway :)

'Til death us do part...

Premature death is often a sad thing, especially when it leaves widowers, but in this case it's far from it! Rose and Charles Tombe got married last February, but now the most famous goat in Sudan has died from choking on food. Does this mean he'll have to find another wife?

"After the marriage, [the goat] had a male kid - but "not a human one"" :-)
