Compassionately intolerant
Speaking of iphones, I feel guilty for even asking this, but I've recently acquired some audiobooks in a format readable by itunes. (mpeg-4)
However, once I put the chapters in a playlist on itunes, I can't seem to transfer them to my inactive iphone.
It isn't imperative, of course, but it sure would be nice. What am I not understanding about the technology and is there a way around it?

I don't know about audiobooks, but I noticed that I used to be able to make a playlist of podcast episodes so that they would run continuously through to the next one on my iPod as well as my computer, but now I can't seem to do that anymore. Either it won't put the playlist on my iPod at all, or, if I add it to an existing playlist with songs, only the songs will show up on my iPod.
So annoying because now when a podcast ends on my iPod, it puts the menu all the way back to the first "music" level.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I seem to remember we've discussed alternate DNS servers. There was one that was really highly recommended.

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

I'm trying to connect to pandagon.net IP 209.200.252.213
isitdownorisitjustme.com says it is just me. But I can't connect or ping even using ip address.
