I got an Ipod nano last Christmas. I didn’t use it. Well, I finally got around to fixing some problems with my dynamic compressor so I can my classical music on there the way I like it, and extracting the contents of my old linux hard drive (which has been in my machine for a long time, but with its contents inaccessible) with lots of my mp3s on it, and getting a large backup drive to store everything on, and I think I’m almost ready to start using the damn thing. What a lot of work it is!

So I plug it in, and it doesn’t come on. No big surprise—the battery’s dead. I wait two hours. Nope, still dead. I look up how to reset the thing, try it, no results. I’m not seeing anything at all on the LCD screen. Not even the “recharging the graphic” battery you’re supposed to see. Well that’s just great.

So, two days pass. I take a look at the Ipod. Oh, look, it’s on. Interesting. Battery still dead, but at least showing a menu. Not connecting to ITunes, but it’s on.

Oh, look. Now it’s not.

Hmm. This is going to take some work.

Lack of posting due to depression, stress, and working on projects (Lojban translation, Isabelle theorem prover, dynamic compressor) rather than posting. The dynamic compressor’s about ready to release, once I get around to it. I have it as a standalone tool now that does batch processing and is much faster and more memory-efficient (well, except for the fixed overhead of .NET) than the old one.
