As quite the massive Valentines day gift from my mom I got a new iPhone, now it’s only an 8gig 3G not a 3GS but it’s fine for me, It also has a screen protector and it’s in an OtterBox which means this phone will last me, well until I decide I want something better, but since mostly I’m only putting apps on there (because I already have a 160gig Classic) it’s no big deal.

There is one small little problem with the OtterBox, the dock connector cover will only fit the smaller size iPhone plugs, not the larger iPod ones, so half my accessories won’t attach….but hey, SendStation to the rescue.

I’ve been curious about their accessories for years, They make the PocketDock adapters (with line-out) and DockExtender…perfect, I’ve been wanting both for sometime now, and they just came out with a mini-usb PocketDock in the smaller plug size, and they have a Black DockExtender now as well, perfect, now I can use the DockExtender, not just in docks, but to adapt the iPhone in my OtterBox to my larger plug cables without pulling it out of the OtterBox.

Order has  been placed we’ll see how it goes…

UBDATE: Apparently according to the email I just read, I will have to wait a month…ok I can do that I guess.

Looks like when I had a Wi Fi hiccup ScribeFire wound up posting the last post three times..yikes

Looks like I found just the thing to not only find the missing album art, and also fill in the gaps in my meta data. That would be TuneUp it seems to be finding most of my albums and identifying them correctly, my favorite part about it is I can chose which data to fill in or replace, which is nice, since it corrects the funkyness like a Beach Boys album I have that Jaikoz retitled “Made in the U.S.a”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not replacing Jaikoz, nothing will. Now to get my copy of Funduc Duplicate File Deleter installed so I can clean out the many duplicate files in my iTunes Media folder from restoring my library when it got corrupted the other day. I hate when that happens, thanks Apple for the XML file, it helps.

Right now I am messing with beaTunes. Looks quite cool for detecting BPM and playlist creation for iTunes. So far so good, right now I’m not using it for the tagging, just for the BPM detection, lyrics and stuff right now, looks like it’s going to take a while. It uses the same database and everything as Jaikoz which is my preferred tagger, that’s how I found it, through the AmpliFIND website, though I think I’ve taken a look at beaTunes once before. I paid for it this time. We’ll see how it goes as far as playlist creation. I still need to do something about the album art, haven’t found anything quite as accurate enough, or at least not annoying.  I kinda like iArt but everytime I reinstall it, I have to send an email asking for a new code, too annoying.

So the other day, I decided, what the heck, I will try Star Trek Online, I actually have several serial numbers unlocked on the same account, one of them is Steam’s deluxe edition.

That took a day, to download and install (plus a few hours at night). Then when that was done, it had some updating to do. Then I finally get it to open, after it installed DirectX or whatever, which I already HAVE. Then the Launcher needed to update, fine, then it opens up and I login, and it starts patching the game. Fine, but on my occasionally wonky wi-fi at home and at work it fails a few times, and it doesn’t fail gracefully, the whole thing closes out. Then just now I tried to open it, so it can finish  and now Steam is patching it. So now I have to wait like an hour, or so, to open the launcher to let it finish. Seriously? Are you kidding me?

This is worse than Windows.

Seriously, like every week I get some junk in the mail from Capital One, for one, I even mailed it back one week, with a note asking them to “stop sending this crap” I am literally about to waste their postage and use their return envelopes to mail their garbage back to them. For one If I do not respond ONCE, then I will not respond the following week. For another thing the “What’s in your wallet” crap, it’s none of their business what’s in my wallet, sorry.  Just leave me alone PLEASE. I do not want a Capital One card ever. Stop wasting paper!
