So I just started up iTunes. I don't do that very often, because I hate the friggin' program. But once in a while, I'm looking for a tune I simply can't find anywhere else, and then I'm flucking forced to use it...

So iTunes starts up and this is what I see: Screendump[^]

A blank dialog with a checkbox and 4 buttons ("?", "Other", "OK" and "Cancel" for those who don't understand Swedish).

Very informative (NOT) and no matter what I click, the same thing happens: Nothing!

Just another reason to hate iTunes. Rant over! Mad | :mad:

It's just speechless, like I was when I saw "Can't Hug Every Cat" in your list.

Ooops! Very revealing.
But actually you should be much more worried about this one[^] (which is also in my list)!

[EDIT] As mentioned, I only use iTunes for songs I can't find anywhere wlse, so my entire iTunes list is actually kind of strange (or at least that is what I would like you to believe Laugh | :laugh:

) [/EDIT]

It's a lack-of-intelligence test: you are supposed to tick the checkbox, and press "OK" to transfer your bank balance to Apple for safe keeping.

Clearly, you are too unfashionable to be allowed to buy from iTunes! Laugh | :laugh:

I did try to check the box and click ok. Nothing happened. But now that I think about it, I'm very glad nothing happened, because God knows what I had agreed upon then?!?!?! Confused | :confused:

Do you have automatic updates turned on in iTunes? The latest update (11.1.4 I think) is full of bugs. I spent some time trying to get a buddy's iTunes working. Found out he updated. I rolled him back to the prior version and it works fine now.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Its an awful software, atleast for me! And because of iTunes I resisted myself not to buy an iPhone.

Just another reason why not to buy an iPhone. Rant over!

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Yeah, well, I don't have an iPhone. I'm not THAT stupid! I just use iTunes to buy music I can't get hold of any other way... But you're right!

Bucket Lists

A co-worker has a friend that has this item on his bucket list: swim in the ocean (South or North Carolina based beaches) in every calendar month, not necessarily in a single year.

I don't know if I'll do that, but on Saturday, we attened an a fundraiser for the local Special Olympics program that had a 'Polar Bear Plunge'. I did swim in 48 degrees F water, so February is off my list.

I understand, relatively speaking, this isn't 'polar' by any means, but it did raise awareness and support.

I have gone swimming in the Atlantic off of North Carolina in November.

What's on your bucket list?

Visit all continents at least once.
Still two to go, but I'm not sure if I'll make the last one though (Antarctica), the other one is Africa, but that's certainly doable.

I swam in glacier water (melt water) twice. So that's off the list already Poke tongue | ;-P

further:
* Get my black belt. (Kenpo/Jiu Jitsu)
* walk the 100 km "death walk[^]" (subscribed for this year's event)
* I will see when I get these two off the list.
