That reminds me of the time I caught a bus a good while back (prolly over a decade ago). I'd had to go into town for something and then caught the bus back. Because it was only 1030 am the bus stop from the town centre was empty except for three of us - me, a young woman and an asian man in his 40s I reckon. I sat on one side side of the bus midway down. She sat one row behind but on the left. The asian dude goes and sits next to her. On an otherwise essentially empty bus. She actually shouted out loudly, asking why he was sitting next to her when the bus was empty. He then got up and sat elsewhere.

Some people are like that.

FIBRE EMBARGO FOR OLYMPIC NETWORK AFFECTING OPTICAL AND ETHERNET BASED SERVICES
Due to preparations for the Olympics this summer, Transport for London
(TfL) are putting in place an embargo on all planned street work
starting on 1st March 2012 that will prevent any road works on the key
parts of the London Olympic Route Network (ORN). Restrictions will
continue to affect us until they are fully lifted on 30th September.
However, it is worth noting that beyond this date a backlog of work
may exist, delaying installations further.


Basically, Olympics say FU to London based businesses. This is probably going to put us an entire year behind schedule. What cost the Olympics? WTF they put them in London for anyway? I'm sure there's somewhere nicer with fewer people to piss off.

Yeah. Setting up a playlist and dragging your folder of tunes onto it is like, [LIFTED] brain surgery.

Why do you need to set up whatever? Surely you can just drag the folder onto the player and it plays it, like with no clicking or typing like a normal media player? Anything else would be rather retarded...

Obviously I don't use iTunes because it's too aweful. Took 3 days cleaning up a work machine after someone installed it before f*cking Outlook would work again. Seriously, why would they release a pos that raeps your f*cking PC like that? I can only assume it's malicious hatred for PC owners.

If you drag that folder to your iTunes window, it'll copy the contents to your music library and start playing it, true enough.
Creating a new playlist means it'll only play that list and nothing else. It'll still copy the contents to your library folder though.

Define 'normal media player'. There are probably more iPods in use than all other media players ever, combined. Dunno if you'd include phones, but then there are a lot of iPhones too...

Quite a lot of people consider having to mount drives and figure out file systems and make sure all the folder names are in the right format and remember to update the .M3U files and make sure everything is in playable format and (etc etc etc) as 'rather retarded'. With all due respect, you being on here proves you are a least a bit of a geek. That makes your assessment of what is 'normal' and 'retarded' possibly not the same as the rest of the population.

That's not what you planned to say, is it?

Yeah, like outlook works like clockwork all the rest of the time (/sarcasm) (note: I'm a trained Exchange sysadmin, for the record).

I was mostly thinking of the ones I use on Windows PCs. You know, Media Player for example. Also Winamp and about a dozen others I've used. It's just "normal". If you drag a load of files onto a program, it deals with them. It's not just media players - it's normal, expected behaviour for pretty much any program since people stopped using DOS and started using WIMP interfaces.

I'm really not convinced that wanting to playing a folder full of tunes is "geeky". As to .M3U files, that was prof said that was normal not me - I was disagreeing!!!!

I'm in awe at how awful it is. But no, I spelled it wrong. I'm awful at overly complicated illogical sh!t like English spelling and itunes.

iTunes for Windows is a f**cked up POS IMO. I can never seem to get it to work right, whether it's winxp or win7.

Nowhere seems to have my favoured brand of shaving soap in stock.
Grr.

Which soap you using? My GFT sandalwood is running out and am looking for something new, including shaving creams.

The GFT coconut oil soap refill.
Presently considering a GFT Eucris refill instead.

How coconutty does the coconut one smell? The sandalwood one is very faint - smells more like soap than anything else.

Quite nice. Again, it's very lightly scented. Once you've rinsed I don't think there's any residual scent at all.
