What am I, like, a clown to you?

Now that Danielle linked to me, I feel all compelled and shit to post something that's not relating to my getting in shape.

I like my new iPod, but it's a pain in the ass to get working with Vista. I figured I'd be an early adopter of the new OS from Microsoft, you know, get to use it before everyone else does so I can become proficient with it.

Mistake.

Let's just talk about the iPod right now. If it weren't for the fact that I've got a dual-booting iMac, I would not be able to sync my iPod with my computer. I cannot get vista to recognize that the iPod doesn't have or NEED drivers for it to work. iTunes doesn't recognize it, nor does the OS itself recognize it as a storage device. Microsoft says that it's aware of the issue with the new generation of iPods, and it'll have a fix out with the new Vista service pack 1, due in MARCH.

Fuck. That.

Meanwhile, I plug in the iPod while booted into the mac side of my computer, and it effortlessly syncs and recognizes it. The downside to this is that I only have my music playlists organized on the PC side of the computer. Two hours later, I've got MOST of the playlists recreated and all 17gb of my music on the iPod. Meanwhile, I'd deleted iTunes on the PC side, hoping that a reinstall would get it to recognize the iPod. I was disappointed in that it didn't. But, of course, the iPod can only be synced to one format at a time, either PC or Mac, so even if I *DID* get it to sync with the PC side, I'd have to delete everything off the iPod and upload everything again, and since I re-installed iTunes, all my playlists were wiped off the map.

There, I have now blogged nonsensically. REVEL IN IT, MY PRETTIES!
