iConfused

Alright so I have this iPod now, and I'm putting music on it and all that shit. Some notes:

1. iTunes SUCKS. It's insanely slow. Also, it's slow.
2. Country-by-country iTunes stores suck too. I like the free US track this week, but can't download it because I'm in Canada and the Canadian store doesn't have that track for free. The free Canadian one is garbage.
3. I know there's all sorts of DRM on these things, although it apparently has been cracked, so somebody emailing me the song won't work, will it?
4. Now that I can store 100 songs, I obviously want more! I need to get a new hard drive, digitize all my CDs, and then get an iPod nano so I can listen to them all.
5. I need to win the lottery.

Crank

Today will not be a good day. No, I didn't see three yellow cars in a row. But the cats woke us up way too early, which made us cranky (maybe I should tape some sandpaper to the outside of the door so they don't paw at it so much). Then the computer was misbehaving for leapfish, which made him cranky. Then I tried to explain, which he didn't really want, which made me cranky. Then I got to work and I had forgotten to wait for FedEx yesterday so my package was still sitting on the front desk, which made me cranky.

But my new outfit received a compliment, so that helped a bit. Added, for leapfish: The outfit is very green.

Request

Gmail has made email management really quite nice. If only I could get Outlook at work to behave similarly, with unlimited storage. Right now I'm stuck under a 300MB limit, *plus* the pain of Outlook searches which take forever and a day.

When it comes to web browsing, I often find myself wanting to find something I read a while back. Not something important enough to bookmark, but important enough to refer back to in a conversation or something. The problem comes when Google won't find it for me. I need some way to get Google and my browsing history (across multiple machines) merged, so that I can always get back to places I've been.

Anybody feel like making that magic happen?
