  • @ryanblock haha well recording on thurs, mix for fri pm is quite the turnaround time, either way i really enjoy it, thanx for doing it #

  • wow backup, sync is a lot faster in 2.1 now #
  • @danbenjamin moved up in equip pretty quick, the XTi is fairly new too right? #
  • @sidneylo i actually bought one of those waistband stretchers just for this situation (though i haven’t gotten new denim in a LONG time) #

  • @LindsayG lucky ducky, i’ve been on the hunt for polaroid (and cam), but then having to “conserve” the film kind of takes away the fun #
  • i’m starving. all i’ve eaten today is a few handfuls of cashews. but it’s after 10 and i dont think i’m going to eat now. )= #
  • @ryanblock f yeah, i’ve missed album shuffle on my iphone. use some of that one of the most important in tech/gadget pull of yours… #
  • god palin was a hot mess in her interview with gibson. i’m glad it wasn’t just softballs from charlie #
  • you can see russia from alaska! oh, she’s got my vote #
  • she’s tossing out names of foreign heads of state left and right! SMART #
  • god i’ve seen HS debaters better than palin #
  • it’s clear they gave her 2 talking points per issues and she just repeats them over and over #
  • btw, remember, don’t blink! #
  • palin appears to suffer from dunning-kruger effect (http://is.gd/2x0g) #
  • does 2.1 install wipe data (restore)? #
  • shake to shuffle in 2.1? #
  • @ryanblock & @peterrojas will there be a 2.1 addendum to gdgt002? (even though PR isn’t an iphone guy) #
  • i can listen (rather than watch) a lot of shows, movie, but you def lose a lot if you do that with “the office” #
  • http://is.gd/2xwS 9.55 #
  • 2.1 update error (-19) argh #
  • itunes hangs, force quit, unplug iphone, start from scratch, now backing up to do a restore (rather than upgrade) per @iamshimone’s advice #
  • @sidneylo diam, just the iphone 3g. everything prior was golden! but yeah, this sucks #
  • @ayn this is one lawyer who embraces tech (though as an iphone guy, i’m not into the BB) #
  • ssssss-llllll-ooooo-wwwww backup before the restore to 2.1 (and i still have the wifey’s phone to do) #
  • damn, backup + restore + reload media = a damn long time #
  • @ayn i usually just update but @iamshimone’s advice from apple genius #
  • but i am restoring from the backup i made #
  • 2.1 isn;t that much faster installing my apps. sigh, i’m just resigning myself to having a shitty iphone experience #
  • though, admittedly, my itunes lib is on an ext drive and connecting to it wirelessly #
  • @iamshimone well i’m def doing it from now on, i have a lot of random probs now and then so worth the “clean install” #
  • 325/2074 much time remaining #

  • @deuxdoom haha, i say from experience #
  • apparently 2.1 apps retain space vs being moved after update. thank god. #
  • i’m just tired of food. #
  • @peterrojas I watched Sunday. I think the kill bill siren wail needs to go and that it should be a mini game in another game show. #

  • @danbenjamin aaron rodgers looks legit tonight. #
  • @LindsayG it’s funny, lots of mini schnauzy look alike, but i think he’s rather distinctive (very silver-y compared to other mini schnauzs) #
  • @LindsayG one day you will meet monty (and i guess by extension me) and we’ll have “dueling” pics of “chance flickr/twitter friend meet” #
  • learning final cut express by using it. much like photoediting software, i think i need a book #
  • @ayn need to learn, so next year when i go apeshit with my RED scarlet i know what i’m doing (will have to buy MBP and FC Pro) #
  • @ayn truthfully, for what i’m doing, imovie is MORE than enough, but whatevs #

  • where are all the settings in itunes, a lot gone, wtf #
  • itunes 8 can’t burn mp3 disc? i no longer have options for burning/importing in my advanced pref pane #
  • so when you click burn disc, THEN you get a choice of what format (audio, mp3, etc). still trying to figure out how to change import convert #
  • as far as i can tell you can only change mp3 to aiff, not aac, can’t set your own quality levels #
  • in the general prefpane, import settings next to the CD drop box. arg #
  • genius slow in gathering info on my library. is there anyway to get genius playlists WITHOUT sharing my info (i share, just hypothetically) #
