In a way, I suppose I’m fairly lucky. A common complaint brought up whenever I advocate the use of an alternative browser is that one site or other — that is essential to the person I’m recommending the browser to — doesn’t work in a browser other than IE. This is especially prevalent with online-banking sites, I am told. (Usually, upon visiting such a site, one is told to “upgrade” to a “more secure” browser. Don’t get me started on that, we’ll be here all week.)
Herewith some instructions on setting up your iPod Mini with Linux with USB and the FAT file-system, using gtkpod to access the iPod. I’m assuming a few things for this little howto:

iPod Mini.
I have one.
Works on Linux.
Rock on.
Herewith a political diversion. We’ll see how it goes, shall we?
Fearing that terrorists might attack in an attempt to disrupt the US elections, we’re proposing to enshrine into law a mechanism that would automatically disrupt the US elections in the case of a terrorist attack?
Head… hurts…
I really think that the idea’s a crazy scheme for the precise reason mentioned. An entire tenet of anti-terrorist policy seems to be based on carrying on as we are, to the maximum extent possible whilst protecting our safety. So, here we’re promising to do just what the terrorists would like. Great idea guys!
Two things have happened recently that have given me cause for the aforementioned consumption of head-ware. Those that know me will know I’m quite attached to my hat and so eating it would be rather painful for me. However, I’ve been forced to do it, twice in the space of a single week:
I’ve started using Eclipse a lot, remember the Vi is great post a while back?
I really like Gmail, something which I also thought would never happen. Web-based email, I’d say, Pah! Give me a rich-client any-day!
