Today we even got to enjoy rolling thunderstorms along with torrential rain. At least it doesn't have to be shoveled. Finished making little maps at 2:30 AM this morning. By 7 I was at work installing them. Now I need to catch up on some sleep. The screen that was giving me problems last week turned out to be faultless; which means either a glitch or a problem with my system. A four year-old computer has more than a few problems so I've discussed its replacement already. Most worrisome is a suspected failing hard drive and it happens to be the one that holds the operating system.
The new Archos Player seems to do everything it was billed as being capable of. The bad news is that the unit that synchronizes it with my TV comes with its own remote control—that makes 6 plus a reclining bed controller. Though I'm still miffed that to make my player be all that it could be I needed to buy $30, currency still indeterminate, in downloadable plug-ins to make it work. The unit is resting beside me as I type being synchronized with downloadable material as I type. Archos has just released software for that purpose. One discovery I did make on my own while loading my player with data from my iTunes file in remote hard drive mode—the unit's operating system will only recognize video files if they are placed in the video folder. Remarkable how good downloaded files look on my TV.
