Dear readers,
I’m super busy right now, having a new job and all, so I can’t find the time to write the useful and informative articles I think about writing - thus I’m keeping this on hold for a while longer. But, I’ve just paid for another year’s worth of hosting, so expect something wonderful in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, Caroline and I have started a Tumblelog, which we’d love you to take a look at.
(back soon)
I was deeply saddened when my iPod Mini appeared to have given up the ghost. The nostalgia, the design, the 4GB hard drive.
The symptoms are well documented: ’sad iPod’ face (pictured), whirring sound on startup, not mounting via USB. I had heard that dropping the iPod from height onto a desk tended to solve the issue, but my attempts were in vain.
A desire to educate the folks at mN through my iTunes sharing left me looking for a compact, USB powered, hard disk - and given the iPod’s seamless integration with iTunes I made another attempt.
The solution? Yes, hitting the iPod does work, but it must be on the right-hand side. A passionate thump against the spine of my Moleskine had fixed the problem.
