music and technology
Apr. 18th, 2009 12:36 amToday has been a better day than yesterday, helped in part by lovely friends who are quite willing to throw music at me. As a result, I have listened to Vienna Teng's "Hope On Fire" a ridiculous number of times this evening.
I think I really need to update the contents of TinyPod. It's been a long time since I last did, and so I'm becoming somewhat bored with the selection currently on there. Plus I've gotten a fair amount of new music in the meanwhile, and it would be nice to have some of it accompany me during the commute.
The only downside to doing that is that most of my music is still stored on my desktop. The desktop which has died a death, and into which I have completely failed to install a new motherboard/CPU in the hopes of reviving it. I mean, the components are sitting perhaps 4 feet away from me, so it's not even as if I'd need to go source anything. Um, oops? I blame tiredness, and generally being far too caught up in other aspects of life. The laptop works, and so it hasn't felt as urgent as it might otherwise have.
Still, I should really get around to that at some point in the near future. There's an awful lot of things on there that I'd rather not lose. The problem is that my next day off is Sunday (family meet has been scheduled), the one after that is Tuesday (the leaving do for one of my former tutors), so maybe the one after that...by which time something else may very well have popped up.
Ho hum. Guess I'll just have to see how it goes. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually.
