The scooter manufacturer’s rep is supposed to be back down at Sound Speed today, since they couldn’t repro the problem for him on tuesday. I wish I could hold out a hope that I’d have a working scooter by the weekend, but I so doubt that the problem is going to be as easy to fix as they think.

Another Day of Waiting
Thursday, September 11th, 2008ITunes QA Sucks
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008It must be a pretty small department, without any accountability. How else can you explain the crapulent nature of the latest iTunes release? Attempting to select 60 tracks fails silently. It seems the most you can select at one time is somewhere around 10-20. And then when you hit delete to remove them, up pops a dialogue box that sometimes has a checkbox for “don’t ask me again”, and sometimes it doesn’t have that checkbox. It doesn’t really matter, since it still asks you every time.
Needs More Cowbell
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Big Country and Anna
Monday, September 8th, 2008I just finished reading Anna Karenina, and am finding it’s influence in all sorts of unexpected places. There is a mefite named vronsky, whom I long to memail and ask after his motivations, since I didn’t find Vronsky to be the most heroic character of the novel. I’m listening to Big Country’s Harvest Home, and thinking about Levin’s obsession with his tasks as landowner.
Google Chrome Feedback
Monday, September 8th, 2008I love the way Google calls all it’s products Beta, but never actually provides a mechanism for soliciting feedback, which kind of defeats the purpose of a beta. NE-who.
First sucky thing I’ve noted, asside from the lack of default support for the adblock plus firefox plugin, is that you can’t drag and drop an image from amazon.com to itunes with chrome. It highlights the image, but it must be dragging the html code instead of the image itself, ’cause itunes doesn’t like what it’s offering up. Firefox still works fine for that, so chances are the may be the only post ever posted with chrome….
