If life continues to be less than awful for long enough I switch from being a pessimist to an optimist, and I then set out to inadvertently kick myself in the nuts. In this heightened state of trust and good feelings I have a tendency to go and do things that I ordinarily wouldn't consider even if money was involved (unless it was a lot).
Tonight's misguided idea: putting videos onto my iPod.
Which meant using iTunes.
The Scourge of God.
Katsuhiro Otomo had just used iTunes when he wrote Akira [citation needed]When dealing with music I can just turn to faithful Winamp but unfortunately I can't seem to make videos transfer right through a combination of not trying hard enough and not understanding what a lot of Winamp does. So I have to use iTunes. Now the last time I tried to transfer videos I managed to succeed only to realise I also managed to erase all 350+ of my songs. Damn.
This time round I was ready for it. Experienced and cautious I looked carefully at what I was pressing and when I was completely certain that I would only sync my videos I went and deleted all my songs instead. Damn.
Another defeat at the hands of iTunes has made me realise that Apple are clearly run by sadistic mindreaders who are probably also Nazi's or werewolves. After all why else would people make a program that doesn't have individual syncing for separate functions (or better yet, a freaking add button) unless they wanted to make me (and presumably others) suffer through a self-inflicted hell.
Possibly works at Apple
