Getting things in order

I noticed today that I couldn't drag and drop things on LaptopJenny... I investigated all sorts of things until deciding it was a device driver issue. I used Device Manager to remove the trackpad driver, and after two reboots, all was well.

I only realized after I was done that it had disabled both mouse buttons while the mouse moved... a supremely frustrating thing when you're used to them.

Next up, I just found SharePod, which will let me extract the music from the iPod Mini Noran gave me to replace the dead Shuffle, and I can use it without iTunes.

I hate iTunes... the stupid piece of shit always gets in the way, trying to connect to the iPod like a crazed Mother Bear protecting her young. Usually when I plug an iPod in, it's to charge it, or to transfer files in either direction.. NOT to put more overpriced crippled music in it.

iTunes is DefectiveByDesign!

I'm never going to fit the photos back in LaptopJenny... I've forgotten about music... I need my music!

Cest la vie

It's my damned computer! How the fuck do I get this damned DRM crap off of Windows XP Home?

I want to be able to watch OUR footage from OUR wedding, and the fucking DRM in Windows Media Player 9 decides that I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT to take my favorite frame, and save it in Paint Shop Pro... this sucks, and I refuse to let it stand.

If I have to, I'll format this damned machine, and run Fedora Core on it!

Digital Rights Management is EVIL!
