I fin­ished my evening in front of ye olde boob tube¹ at 10 and was think­ing about head­ing to bed early. I decided just before doing so I’d go read some email, maybe run Cast­Pod­der and grab some stuff to lis­ten to at work. That was nearly two hours ago and I’m still not con­tin­u­ing on my way to bed. *sigh* I really should learn my les­son and stop think­ing I can hit up the crack pipe use my com­puter for a just a few min­utes. On the bright side, my last run of APT-GET updated amaroK which fixed an annoy­ing crash I’d been expe­ri­enc­ing for the last week or so. Also, I setup amaroK up to use the MySQL back­end and it’s mas­sively faster than using SQLite. The only down­side is that some­where along the way of my man­ual attempts to fix the crash, updat­ing to the latest/greatest and switch­ing the MySQL back­end; amaroK “for­got” which songs I’ve already lis­tened to. This brings my playlist of “new” music to just under 3,000 tracks².

¹ T.V. for you lit­tle whipper-snappers.
² This playlist excludes pod­casts, audio­books and the like but does include music that is pod­safe or ripped from CDs that I own.
