Beware the podcast-eating iPaq!
Grumble grumble growl…
… you know, I had a full podcast taped up and ready to roll today. Nearly 50 minutes of ranting, raving, and rage, all recorded on Glitch. I even listened to the recordings, made sure they sounded OK, everything was cool. Then, I get home, plug Glitch in, do some updating, stand up, go to the bathroom, come back, and, true to its name, Glitch has… well… glitched. And about half the stuff I had on my SD card is fried. That included, of course, the podcast. Damn thing did the same shit to me for Eldrin’s wedding podcast. 
Anyway, lucky for me that I had backed up the entire contents of the SD card a couple days ago, so all I really lost was the podcast and a couple of notes I had taken, but it’s still a hassle to have to reformat the card and put everything back in, and losing the podcast sucked. I’ll try and re-record it tomorrow, but after having already ranted once, I don’t know if my rage over random idiots will be as genuine tomorrow… wait, what am I saying? Of course it will. My rage against the random idiots in life is neverending!!!

Hey, let me know when Apple makes a portable computing thingy that can do half the stuff my iPaq can do, and then we’ll talk.
And, no, the Newton doesn’t count. I like my color screen and an actually powerful processor. 
Until then, Pocket PC is as good as it gets in mobile computing, warts and all. I eagerly await a Mac OSX ‘Kitten’ powered handheld, though.
