Why does every country have its own plug?

Nov 04 2009 Published by under Ramblings

My favorite part of this article is where it says that there’s no hope of a new single plug that will work everywhere in the world… funny… and sad. :/

Ok, maybe not every country, but with at least 12 different sockets in widespread use it sure as hell feels like it to anyone who’s ever traveled. So why in the world, literally, are there so many? Funny story!

Oh man – you’d think that modern fork-lifts would have rear-view cameras or something. 😀

Upgraded my old 20gig iPod with a CF card – now its a 32gb flash iPod

The hard drive on my old 20gb iPod died and I figured I’d just upgrade it to flash instead of throwing it away.

I bought a 32gb CF card and a CF card to 1.8″ ide converter.

The toughest part was opening up the iPod (which wasn’t all that hard – plenty of how-to’s on the ‘net). After getting the card in the adapter, and the adapter into the iPod, I closed up the case and plugged it into my PC for its sync. After it re-sync’ed my music all was well.

32gigs of solid-state space on my oldie-but-goodie iPod! 😀
