Am having a really, really bad day.
I got woken up by a phantom doorbell roughly an hour before my alarm went off, thus meaning I only got 5 hours of sleep.
On Saturday, I reinstalled Windows 7 on Marduk, thus wiping out my music collection on it (on purpose). I decided to try to see if I could use a third-party iTunes alternative (because I have people whining at me about how iTunes sucks and blah blah blah) to try to get the music off Moros (the iPod) instead of having to do it overnight over the network. Didn't work.
Last night, I plug Moros into Bahamut, which is the computer associated with it. Imagine my surprise when I find out that Moros is corrupted and needs to be restored to factory settings.
Now, there are some interesting things you should know about Bahamut and iTunes. Bahamut is running WinXP 64bit, the unloved middle child of Mircosoft between XP and Vista. To get iTunes to even install, I needed to hack the reg values in the executable of the Vista version, since it requires 64-bit and Apple thinks Bahamut is 32-bit (i.e. VERY VERY WRONG).
The first time I synced Moros with Bahamut, it was a long, painstaking affair that took roughly 5 hours and I swore I never would do again.
You can see where this is going.
As of right now, Moros can't have disk use enabled AND sync music on Bahamut, because it crashes iTunes horribly. I have no working iPod. I have roughly 8 hours of labwork I was planning to do today.
I am very, very pissed off.
To top it all off, I was late to 2.009 for the first time all semester. And forgot my pens and power cord for Marduk.
I want this day to die in a fire.
