Ooo! I just found a shiny!!!! You can add your own ringtones to your iPhone! And it does NOT require a hack. It does NOT void your Apple Warranty. And they have a "try before you buy" ability! [link]

Kinda funny. Here I have a fancy schmancy phone that can play all sorts of high quality sounds, and what do I do? I find my favorite cheesey 8-bit(ish) MID file that has been my ringtone for YEARS and convert it to a AAC so my phone can play it. Once again I have "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" as a ringtone

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Argh, I'm so frustrated! I bought this [link] hard drive about a month ago because of serious space issues, and it worked completely fine, so I put like 100 gigs of stuff on there, and now the fucking thing is clicking away and not loading. Can someone point me to a link of self-troubleshooting for hard drives that have done nosedives? I am going to be so pissed if all that data is lost.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

mine was doing that and I had to recover 120GB of data through getdataback.

It recovered my entire itunes library. yes, I would have been ass out without it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I went through an iTunes loss early this year, so I feel for you -- it was a new drive failure, too.

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

I had all my iTunes music on my Mac Mini, which was set to do an update every night. But now all my music is on my MacBook, and I currently have no automated backup set up. This is making me nervous. Have to get that Time Machine set up....

Ha! I now have a Google phone running Android!

OK, an emulator for a phone. But still, I created and ran the "Hello, Android" application. Fun.
