Thank you, Apple. You are raging imbeciles who make the most fundamental mistakes in interface design, repeatedly, and then tell me it's a feature. I hate you and want you to die. At least *Microsoft* can make comparatively useful and unbuggy software with a sensible interface. Why can't you?

(iTunes question: I have subscribed to Jonathan Coulton's "Thing A Week" podcast. It downloads nicely. Now, since it is music, I want it in the MUSIC section, so that it will play properly and I can add it to playlists and the like. It's an MP3 file. How do I get the fucking thing to treat it as an MP3? I can't even take it out of the list entirely, rename the file, change the ID3, and re-add it. Do I have to fucking decode the MP3 to WAV and put it back to make this work?)

Code monkey not crazy, just proud

You could also do what I did: Buy the Thing A Week albums from cdbaby.com and rip them to your music from there. Of course this only works for the first two albums for now. Hopefully the other two albums will follow suit shortly.

(And while I was buying those, I picked up his other album and the EP. Well worth it for Skullcrusher Mountain and the First of May alone.)

Total cost of three albums plus one EP, including shipping: $43.00. A bargain really.

(Of course, that was American dollars. For that devalued, tutti-fruitti, play money you Canuckistanicans use, it will cost you $43.50 at least!)

Our devalued, tutti-fruitti, play money

As a matter of fact, after our bills were redesigned to look MORE like play money, the value of our dollar went up. Now, you may say that's a coincidence, and I'm no economist, but perhaps America should start using monopoly money to boost their lacklustre eonomy...
