iPod #3

Well it happened. The old iPod shat itself. So I had to get a new one. That's it there. That's a shit photo.

Not a bad price, but still a bit shitty for it fucking up. Oh well.

It's also black, not my first choice, but it is sorted now. I have to get a new iTrip too as Apple change the design of the iPod so my old one won't work now.

I think the new iTrip is better than the old anyway. It doesn't matter how loud you have it, the volume is now controlled by the stereo not the iPod. That's heaps better, and it has an LCD display so I know what station I am on.

Problem though. When I set my old iPod to shuffle albums, and then I selected shuffle songs on the front screen it used to go through all the albums on there. This new one now just shuffles ever song, so I never know what's coming up next. Now I have to go through to albums and hit play to listen to whole albums and not different songs.

I know this is what the hip younger generation want, but not me. I want to be able to get a shuffle of CDs. It's not too much of a drama, but enough to shit me. But I'll get through it.

The video feature is pretty cool too. Ive downloaded some of the Ricky Gervais podcasts, they are quite funny. And I am now downloading Rendezvous for the iPod. That will be great and should give me a pump up when I need it.

I've also been uploading more photos onto my Flckr account. There is a link at the side. There are photos on there of my cool new nephew, my trip to NZ my partner and I did in March 2005, photos from my European jaunt last October with my partner, and some photos from the Auburn Bowls Club. All good. Check out the Flickr site, as I am putting photos on there all the time, some even have humourous captions. Most don't.

That's it. More soon.
