Don't take your love to town

I started doing a little studying of Ruby on Rails, since it seems to be the trendy thing these days. I see LOTS of job openings for Ruby on Rails developers.

I got dragged kicking and screaming into the 1990s and installed an IM client. Haven't really used one since Sarah was in college.  I can see some uses for this technology in tele-working cooperation. Along the way, I also got pointed to Jing, which is a cool, easy, quick, effective screen-capture utility. Free, at least for the moment.

Lunch with H Marc at "the chicken lady" (Tokyo Teriyaki).

A nice walk with Frankie before supper, and a nice Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro, probably my favorite smoke. But my iPod decided to run out of battery just when we got too far from the house to turn back and the duel between Maturin and Canning was about to start :-( 

I hadn't used iTunes on the laptop to charge the iPod since rebuilding it with XP. So there's a new version of iTunes that changes up the UI for how you determine what to sync with the iPod. I have 90GB of music and audio and a 4GB iPod Nano, so "sync everything" isn't an option. And my audiobook is from Audible, so I had to download a new version of AQudible Download Manager and re-authorize my iPod and yadda yadda, what a PITA just to charge up the music player.

 Audible.com was a very early sign-on to ipod/itunes. It's essentially always been possible to get content from Audible on a iPod. Subject to Audible's thoroughly well-integrated DRM, of course.
