Tech for the Tech God

Colleen experienced a mad influx of tech yesterday, since she got her iPod from France as well as the PC. It's very shiny and very white, and it integrates nicely with iTunes, which is pretty cool. iTunes is actually pretty spanky, it does all sorts of cool things automatically like sorting your music collection (but only if you want it to), normalizing the tracks, and coverting all your crappy WMA files to AAC files. Battle of the proprietary formats! Winamp does play AAC, so that's fine, and I really hate WMA. Putting the PC together with Colleen was a little stressful, since it's the first time I've done a 939 pin installation, or a SATA installation, so I didn't exactly know what was going on, but we got it done eventually. Still need to do all the software and the OS, which will take ages =/

Also, I now have a confirmed place to stay =) Julie's renting me her spare room (previously Alastair's study) for a much cheaper price than Roo was going for, so I'm moving in there this weekend or early next week. How convenient that there's a LAN at Al's, my PC will already be there! Now, just to work out how to get the bed there...
