Same thing here. We've been having some bad electrical storms recently.

The power has become really unreliable, I've got half a mind to buy a battery for my iMac to last me through the 15-30 minute blackouts.

Yea. It's been raining for the past days and it gets annoying when your stuff turns off repeatedly.

I had my dream again.

We just went to mcdonalds for their 69 cent extra large. They are out of either the extra large caps or cups. Couldn't understand with his Arab accent. But anyways so we drive off with the larges and alot of soda goes through the cap top where the straw goes. I knew they gave me a large, but they didn't need to fill it like an extra large. I have a very cold leg right now.

How does one fill a large like an extra large? I mean, they already fill it to the brim usually.

Parent-child relationships. I've managed to allow the parent to talk down to the child, but I can't' get the child to give the parent orders.

It was overflowing was what I was trying to get across.

Could be a programming-oriented thing, such as controls with GEEMC.

Could be an elaborate social experiment. o_O

I hope it's the latter.

My rant: I got alcohol poisoning. And bad.

Got home from a nightclub at around 5am with my girlfriend on Saturday night/Sunday morning, she says I was like delirious and crazy when we went to bed, then the next day (yesterday) I couldn't keep anything down and was just constantly being sick. The worst part was that I was so incredibly hungry and thirsty it was actually hurting me.
Woke up this morning after little sleep and though I'm not being sick, my stomach is still really bad.
I had every window open in my room last night, my room was about 10 degrees Celsius, but my body temperature was in the high thirties.

The most annoying part is, I didn't even drink that much, like... i've drunk a lot more before and been fine.

This blows.

Just got back from Colorado..

I got the 'honor' of seeing Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin Robert Plant), and it was horrible. I don't want to hear an ex-rock star with a British accent singing country and songs about Jesus.
He apologized for singing a led zeppelin song at the concert and called them 'dark bad times'.
Psh. I guess it wasn't all that bad, it was pretty cool country, but I didn't really like Robert Plant. It was mostly just the girl (something Krauss), and some guy called T-Bone.
I dunno, I got the album at the show, and I have yet to listen to it. Maybe it will be better than the show.
After the concert, the moon was blood red, which was fucking awesome.

And, I'm home. Damn.

Urgh, most of the music in my iTunes is 'missing' I think my external HDD changed drive letters or something.

EDIT: Does anyone know of a way to see where iTunes thinks a song is? Usually you can see by going on 'Get Info' but because iTunes can't find the song, it just says 'Unavailable'

I know on a mac when you launch itunes, you can hold down option and it will ask you where your iTunes library is. Try that then find your iTunes library file, that should start stuff working again.

iTunes is horrid poo.
Usually all iTunes stuff is in your C:\Users\iGeeo\music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
At least I think...I can't open the thing >_>

it would be the file "iTunes Library" without any extension.

Yeah, wherever your "iTunes" folder is, there should be an .itl file there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 Maybe give that a shot? I don't know how to manually get the dialog box for choosing the .itl.

bcnipod wrote:it would be the file "iTunes Library" without any extension.

Negatory. If iGeo has Windows set up to show extensions, there should be a .xml and a .itl file there.
OS X iTunes =/= Windows iTunes

I see the xml file, I don't use windows so i guessed that the file would look the same. either way he would be looking for the "iTunes Library" file and not the "iTunes Music Library" file.

I am disappointed that there is nobody on my buddy list right now that I would wish to talk to :C
