Impromptu drunken posting night!!!

Notes from an install:

Windows XP is still evil. I attempted an upgrade and basically just blew up my entire system, oh yes, children.

I has Linux now. Also, vodka.

Nothing can stop me now. Bwa. Ha ha.

Heh, I just got an iPod Touch, and I went through a bit of pain getting wine to run iTunes (slowly), only to discover that the necessary USB/iPod support isn't in wine yet. [livejournal.com profile] duriyah's XP machine to the rescue. But after the iPod is initially activated (dunno if pre-Touch/iPhone models require that), both amarok and gtkpod can send music to the iPod. (Though the Touch and iPhone require slight hacking first, which is quite worthwhile anyway.)

Stay tuned for my iPod experience writeup (including the Linux part) soon.

That sounds really bloody useful. I don't have an iPod, but would be interested to read that post anyway.
