Just a little radical?

Poor impulse control

A modern music device alongside one of similar size from about 15 years ago.

Yeah, I succumbed to the shiny. Usually I manage to hold off rather longer than that before buying, but I'd had a bugger of a week at work and wanted something a bit more user-friendly than the shuffle anyway. Oh, and it doesn't look like I'll be getting hold of a Treo 650 anytime soon.

And then I go and fill it with this lot (html).

PS: Go listen to http://www.9412.com/ - a damn fine station. (OK, I appreciate my recommendation may not count for much after you've seen my playlist ;)

Repeated logins from screensaver

2005-09-11 18:48:00
Frequently when my PB wakes from sleep, I'll give my password to the screensaver, it'll accept it, show the desktop and apps, then go straight back to the screensaver login panel, requiring me to type the password again. Occasionally it'll go right back to sleep.

Anyone familiar with this problem or have a solution? I'm fairly sure I'm not just mistyping my password; it happens far too frequently for that, and I know I'm >>95% accurate typing it in elsewhere.

Close call...

Just knocked one of K's extremely sharp knives off the worktop, leaving it stuck point-first in the floor and quivering.

Fortunately, and entirely of its own accord, my bare foot that had been occupying that piece of floor had managed to make its escape in the intervening 0.5 seconds (by my math).

Semi-autonomous limbs have their uses at times...

Oh and K had just been using that knife in preparing roast lamb. Coincidence?
