Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone use Skype? Thoughts?

Hmm. Guess I'll just wait and deauthorize if it becomes a problem.

I'll try out Senuti--have you used it, Daniel?

Oh, weird. Hooked up my iPod prior to trying senuti, and iTunes actually said "you have purchased music on your ipod that's not on itunes, do you want to move it to itunes?" and DID IT! Yay. I may have had other stuff that wasn't backed up, but those were the things I really wanted or knew about...

Yeah, that's a new feature.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have. It worked well for me, to get all of my nephew's old music from the iPod he gave me into my own iTunes.

So, Handbrake does seem pretty straightforward to use. But 25 minutes to encode an 8 minute video? Yowch. The tutorial on iPodLounge did warn that it would probably take a very very long time, but wowza. It's going to take all day to encode Beetlejuice, drat it.

Yeah, video encoding in general is really slow.

Well bother. iTunes will play the video I encoded, no problem. But it informs me that the video will not play on the iPod, and thus has not been imported to it. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
