Ok, I'm feeling stupid here, and hope someone here will take pity. I tried to load Literati at Yahooligans, and it says that I am missing Java, although I have Java and it's enabled. I assumed that it meant that I needed to upgrade. I followed the link, and found the instructions for downloading Java for Linux a bit confusing, but followed them as best I can. Something definitely happened, but I'm not 100% sure that everything is pointing where it should. In any case, I still get the error message at Literati: Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. After clicking on the Install Missing Plugins link, I get: Sun Java J2SE50. Any suggestions?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you've got your iPod connected to a Mac via Firewire and the Mac is asleep, does the iPod continue charging? I don't think it does on my Cube....
eta: Libkitty, I remember being confused when installing Java on a Linux box many years ago. I don't remember what I did.... but do you have to tell the browser the path to the Java runtime?

Usually not, since most if not all Macs turn of power to the Firewire port when sleeping.

That makes sense. I've just never run into this before, as I used to sync the iPod to my iBook, which is not allowed to sleep because if it does it never wakes up.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
which is not allowed to sleep because if it does it never wakes up.
Hmm. Perhaps *I* am an iBook, because I have the same problem. iTeppy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why can't PCs charge the iPods too, through Firewire? Or at least fall asleep when cabled. I almost always drain mine down by forgetting to remove it after I sync.

All Macs come with six-pin firewire connections, while PCs typically come with four-pin firewire. The two extra pins are what supply power.

I mean -- damn, that's irritating. I want a new PC.
I've decided on the Tungsten T5, since it's newer, so I expect I'll have more time to obsolescence, and I hadn't noticed that the C didn't have bluetooth. I am all about the bluetooth. I can get a WiFi card if I snap. They don't have Palm bluetooth cards that I can see.

You could buy a Firewire card (assuming that you can find one with six-pin connectors).

Nah, I just feel robbed that I have a PC with integrated Firewire, yet it's all second class third world connectivity. Or I could just remember to disconnect my iPod when done. Whichever.
