Blaaaaaah I hate computers sometimes. And iPods.

GAH I fucking hate iPods sometimes.. and iTunes. Mostly iTunes. I dunno ya'll, it's being fucking weird and I somehow screwed it up by uploading some videos to it using iFunbox (I've uploaded other stuff to it using that program with no problem, but for some reason this time it went kablooey...). Then iTunes wouldn't recognize the videos/photos/apps on it, which I lived with for a few days (vaguely hoping it'd just fix itself on restart), but now it's deleted all my music and won't resync it. I can put the music back on using iFunbox, but it doesnt' seem to let me create playlists, and I can't be bothered to go find yet another iTunes-replacement program. Anyway, I do rather need it to work properly in iTunes, too, so I can download iTunes apps...

And FUCK ME, I am now restoring it (cuz I've given up, and either way I have to resync my music to it.. though I'll have to re-jailbreak it now *sigh*) and it's downloading the new firmware which is ~250mb. DUDE. This shit costs me money, GIVE ME A BREAK. That's another $5 or so of bandwidth, and I already used about $8 today for SPN and general browsing. Fuuuck. Gonna need to start using wireless hotspots more for my general browsing to save money, because I was planning for the last $30 of my bandwidth to last me until May 23rd (1 month after my last recharge, since each charge lasts 1 month). And with Lost and SPN finales next week, and the Lost finale being a 2-parter... I'm fucked. *sigh*

Well, on the plus side... cousin and I are hoping/planning to go do some volunteering in the countryside which will save money since we won't be paying for accomodation or food or really anything. So I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and continue to pay through the nose for Internet... (we joined WWOOF, "Willing Workers on Organic Farms", and have emailed several host families... so far one was in an area heavily damaged by the forestfires and is now housing 2 couples that lost everyrthing (oops.. awkward! we're now making sure to check where the host lives to see if it was affected by the fires) and 2 others already have WWOOFers right now so are full. Oh well... we've got 3 more we're waiting to hear back from, and we're going to keep emailing more.)

*waits* Son of a bitch, this is gonna take awhile... about another hour to download the upgrade. Then have to restore it, dunno how long that takes. And then jailbreak it. And we're supposed to be going out tomorrow so I can't really work on it then... dammit, I don't want to go out without my ipod, being on the tram without it sucks. :( And we like to use it for the Internet while we're out, whenever we can find hotspots...

*pouts and wanders off* It's already 12am... *sigh* Another late night. Want to see how much of this I can finish (I'm going to be up to, like, 2am aren't I? -_-)

Okay, so far this is faster than I expected... upgrade finished downloading, but iTunes couldn't restore my iPod. -_- Doesn't matter, I got QuickPwn up and going and it seems to be doing the job fine (this is just what I had to do when my co-worker accidentally upgraded her unlocked iPhone to 2.2.1 and it went kablooey... and that worked out fine, she didn't even lose her contacts or anything because iTunes had them backed up). Not sure if it's actually been upgraded, though - QuickPwn's saying that it only supports up to 2.2, but i thought I'd downloaded the newest one.

*pause* Oookay... it's finished, but all my stuff is still there so it didn't actually get restored. But still no music. Hm. *goes to iTunes* Grr, it's still not showing options for photos/apps/video/etc. Wtf. Okay, trying to restore. Again. -_-

YAY success so far. iPod is restored, now i just have to jailbreak it (again) and put all my shit back on it. It's after 1, but... want to at least get it syncing, then I can leave it doing so overnight.

Poor thing looks so sad and empty, though, with no apps, no music, and no Anderson wallpaper! *hugs iPod*

Why the hell am I still awake...? *headdesk* It's after 2am and I'm exhausted... iPod is happily up and going, and now I'm just adding apps back onto it from Cydia. Whoop-dee-do. Go to beeeeeed...

New Iron Man 2 Pictures

*giggle* Awesome. :) Just another year away, can't wait!

*le sigh* Am at library now using wireless to update Cydia and try to reinstall Winterboard (I installed it and all my other Cydia apps via the Cyder program which lets me download Cydia apps on my computer then transfer them to my iPod, since I don't have wireless). I've been trying to get Winterboard to work properly for the last hour or so, but it's not cooperating... none of the themes seem to work. *sigh* I miss my Anderson background. :( It's all black and... boring right now. Anyway, hence, need wireless to reinstall Winterboard via my actual iPod in hopes that it will work after. *crosses fingers* I hate technology right now, have I mentioned that? XD XD

(on a more positive note.. yesterday I uploaded my 35th icon and freaked out because I didn't have any room left. So I spent $10 to upgrade to 100 icons. XD geez, I went for 6 years only being able to use 3 then 6 icons and I survived... 4 monthes with 35 icons and I am hooked and need more. ^^; Gotta say, it's nice to have the variety now, rather than just a default and a few fandom-specific icons to use for specific posts. Now I have mood-themed icons for when I'm pissed! ;) *goes to choose which angry!Keith icon to use*

WAIT WAIT WAIT. Cydia just finished upgrading, and I think it's working!!

YES IT WORKED FUCK YEAH. That just made my fucking day, considering that I was up until 2am last night restoring the stupid thing, re-jailbreaking it, re-syncing all my music and apps... then waking up today and spending 2 hours trying to get my wallpaper to work. -___- But I have Anderson again! Chose a differnt picture this time, not sure if it works... might go back to the old one, which was nice and simple and didn't make it look cluttered. (or actually, might even go with the Supernatural theme that I downloaded while testing Winterboard - I am rather in an SPN mood right now, after all...)

Okay, now off to sync some more random shit to it. Changed around some of my music last night, didn't resync Evanescence or Nickelback because, well... why the fuck were they on there in the first place? I haven't listened to them in years. ^^; So am tossing on more SPN fanmixes now. And I seem to somehow have quite a bit more room left now, so might even toss some music videos on or something... *muses* I dunno. I'm just glad it's working again, I was in a foul mood trying to figure it out... stupid technology. *sighs*

Testing 123...

Okay, quick post to test livejournal's iPod posting app... Pretty nifty for whenever I can find wireless. Would be even niftier with an iphone. ^^
Ooh neat it has automatic HTML options for lj user, lj cut, etc... Cool.

Edited on computer: Yay it worked. Cool. And I let it search for my location and it worked! Nifty. Okay yes, I still get excited by little things like that. XD It's not especially accurate (or at least not especially specific), but hey, it got country and state right so yay for it.
