Anniversary

Four years ago today, Misty and I were married. However, I still sometimes think she wasn't sure what she was getting into back then:

She got used to the idea eventually:

it's been a wild and wacky 4 years and we're going for 400 more.

Big Green Box

A big green box appeared under (besides) the Christmas tree for Misty. Whatever could it be?

Misty's iPod Followup

Well, Misty's iPod is working now. I basically charged it up overnight on the wall charger instead of in the dock and everything started working again. I could have sworn that charging up in the JBL OnStage would be enough but obviously it wasn't.

The little battery indicator on iPods is clearly not very useful.

Misty's iPod

Misty's iPod Mini has developed problems.

It's “menu” button on the clickwheel has become unresponsive. I have turned on and off the hold switch and I've reset it. I made sure it was charged up. All the other buttons work, including the scrolling function. It's just that most of the time you click “menu” and nothing happens.

This is a serious problem if you want to go back up to a previous menu. Not only that, but the backlight seems to come on at random. The problem materialized when we were setting up for playing Christmas music a couple days ago. We have a JBL On Stage that I got her for Christmas that we all love to use. I wonder if the On Stage broke it.

I've been wandering around Apple's technical support pages for a few minutes this morning and I'm finding nothing of help other than the things I've done already. I have the latest software on her iPod. The stories I've been reading as I searched for help appear to indicate that Apple is less-than-helpful when it comes to clickwheel problems. I hope I have a legitimate problem they will fix.

I just submitted a service request and I'll have to mail in her iPod. Sigh.

Update: I've followed up on this posting here.

Got Misty logged on...

I just walked Misty through making her own posting on her web log, which I will not make public. With any luck we'll have lots of activity for her. I think we'll wait a bit before Alana or Ryan start posting on the web.

Note to self, remember the difference between "Draft" and "Publish".
