I received an iPod Photo 60GB from my wonderful wife, and I have to say that I am impressed. Although I do not see myself EVER using the Photo functionality (I uploaded all my photos to try it out, and still don’t see the point, other than the obvious Grandma factor).

Based on a review from ipodlounge, I bought the Sony MDR-EX81SL earbuds from audiocubes. I was impressed that they shipped from Osaka, Japan to my door in 3 days, and it cost me almost nothing for shipping. Great experience, audiocubes is on the good list. Plugged the earbuds in, and my ears almost cried. The sound is beautiful compared to the now abyssmal earphones that ship with the iPod.

On another note, we tried out the Monster cable (1/8" to RCA) in the Honda, and the sound is great. Amanda also got an iPod for Christmas, and she loves it (using the lossless encoder) .

Upgraded the server to Subversion 1.1.2 tonight.

It went down something like this:

Once the server has restarted, make sure that it is back up. The process was painless, and the server was back up and running in no time.

Now it is time to upgrade the client machines. TortoiseSVN 1.1.2 for Windows boxen, and fink update svn for Mac OS X, as well as not forgetting scplugin.

I also cannot stress enough the importance of reading “The Book“.

If only WordPress upgrades were this easy…
