And the hits just keep on coming. This time, a gift from a “special someone”. An Ipod Nano Silver. It’s actually quite pretty, and I love it. It’s one of the best gifts ever. Somebody is nurturing my inner geek, and it feels so good.

As for the gadget itself, well, of course there were quirks. I managed to crash Rhythmbox a couple of times. After a lot of trouble trying out Virtualbox with USB support trying to get iTunes to work, I gave up and went to my sister’s which runs Windows natively, and managed to register the IPod there. So it seems, that you need to register it first. After the registration and firmware update, Rhythmbox worked flawlessly and I’m off listening to some tunes. I haven’t tried photos or videos, but all in due time, since I have to jugle this with a Playstation 3, and a newly borrowed F1 game.

I need some time of work to play with all of this. Dgeez…

This was a full weekend. I bought a new gadget, a Sony Playstation 3, which is actually not just another gadget but rather a full fledge media/computing/gaming rig. At least I hope so. I already have PS3 buddies, ps3 downloads, and what not. And all of this in between breaks of Grand Theft Auto IV. Ain’t it cool ?

The gaming experience exceeded what I was hoping for, but the SIXAXIS so far seems to kinda suck. I’m only playing it on a 22″ inch Half HD screen, which isn’t that bad. All around, I’m pretty happy with my new kickass setup. I’ll try to put some Ubuntu Linux magic running on it, but only when I get a break from GTA. I’m still deciding whether to plugin an external hard-drive or to stream from my Linux server, so I can watch some movies/tv-series. But all of this in later posts probably.
