iPod Photo Error -39
Just when you thought iPods were easy, you get an unknown error (-39) to remind you that these really are computers and you can actually still see a return code. In my case, this is the error my iPod Photo throws because of a bad file somewhere. You mainly have to be careful with iTunes…

nVidia 6800GT Temperature Monitoring
Well I’ve got my new Pentium M system up and running and now running benchmarks. Right now, I can overclock it by about 22% so a 1.8GHz Pentium M is running at 2.1GHz right now. According to Sis Sandra 2004 (I can’t get 2005 to run on this machine right now), I’m the equivalent of…

And “Tongfamily”:http://tongfamily pops up as the first hit. “Steve Holcomb”:http://fullcapture.com/leadership_team.html was looking for Acura MDX information and again this site pops up.

Its interesting to see what has and hasn’t happened. Right now, the home entertainment business reminds me a lot of minicomputers in the 1980s (Ok, I’m dating myself!).
