Technology again. gr.

I finally figured out how to put podcasts into the podcast folder of my iPod (the lovely and talented Miss Violet), which is of course completely different from how I put music in the music folder. And once again, I am forbidden to 'eject' the iPod because 'files on the drive are in use with another application'.

Now. I KNOW for a FACT that Apple forbids the iPod to talk to anybody except iTunes. So my only thought is that iTunes thinks that iTunes is using the files, except that when I shut down iTunes the iPod still thinks it cannot be disconnected.

Maybe if I just shut down the entire computer, then I can have the iPod back. I thought I had mentioned this problem before and was hoping that if I googled for it then I'd find out what I eventually did.

Alas.

UPDATE: Apparently? Shutting off Firefox was the answer. (I had windows open to Google mail, Yahoo! mail, LJ, Wikipedia, Demonoid.com, and OutOfPrintClothing.com. I have no idea which one of these pages was rocking out to my music, but I cannot blame any of them.)

I do believe your majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek upon Saint Tavy's day.

Playing both sides

First, some anti-Iranian propaganda I found through that capitalist running dog Will Shetterly:

Government's attempt to humiliate activist backfires, as men throughout Iran and the rest of the world dress in chador and headscarf in solidarity with not only the activist but also women. And to all you guys out there rocking the green hijab? I love you. (:

“In the mind of the Iranian authorities, women are inferior to men," he said. "The ‘men in headscarves’ campaign is also a refusal by Iranians to this patriarchal and obsolete thought. It is a strong sign of solidarity with the struggle of Iranian women to enjoy full equality with men.”
--Bahman Amini, Iranian publisher



And now I swing back to the 'Hate America First' crowd. I've been seeing a cargo transport van line around town, I don't recall the name or the exact wording of what's on their back door, but it goes something like "My USA--No comfort or aid to the enemy. No how, no way."

Now, keep in mind that this is on the back of a multi-axle trailer, the truck of which probably gets like 15 miles to the gallon. I leave witty rejoinders to you.

And on the back of an Oak Electric Service van that I was driving behind, there was a decal with an American flag, the legend over it reading FEAR THIS! And I have to say that I don't want Oak Electric Service turning my country into some sort of Christian God figure that needs to be feared and obeyed in order to avoid getting sent to hell. Of course, maybe they're part of the rebellion fighting against ZOG and the Jews who secretly run the country. There really wasn't enough information to tell. All I know is that there's a lot of stupid out there and I don't know why I end up behind it so often.
