MMmm, Indian food makes me happy.

Have an interview with Netflix tomorrow, nervous nervous. Will try not to get hopes up.

The boy thinks it's strange that I aim for mediocrity, but I am a total control freak and perfectionist, and if I actually start thinking about evaluation and ranking and that sort of stuff, I tend to go off the deep end.

And because minim_calibre just posted about adopting a new cat, I ended up at Petfinder.com. Look at these poor ratties! How could people just abandon them? They've got other groups of adult males that have lived their entire lives in the shelter too, and I feel so bad for them =(.

Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

Argh. Now I am attempting to persuade myself that I have room for more rats.

ETA: Oh yeah... question for people with iPods. My computer's hard drive broke a bit back. I had a backup, so some of my music was saved, but it's all uncategorized. Is there any way to transfer music from my iPod to iTunes, as opposed to the other way around? So far I haven't been synching it because I'm scared somehow iTunes will erase all the music on my iPod.

What kind of position are you interviewing for at Netflix? Good luck with the interview!

Associate online marketing manager? I don't think I'm going to get it though... it looks too quantitative.

Thanks though!

Good luck with interview!

As for iTunes/iPods: check Versiontracker for Mac OS X (http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/) and do a search. I did this a couple years ago because I did an OS clean install and I didn't want to freaking re-rip everything, and found a useful utility called PodManager (I think). However. That was upgrading to 10.2 (I'm now on 10.2.8) and I have one of the old first-model iPods. I don't know what's current, but this was a popular enough concern that even back then there were several such utilities (I actually registered mine--if you're lucky you can find something freeware). I can't imagine that the number of such utilities has gone down, and the user-ratings/reviews are handy in helping you choose. If you still have trouble, let me know and I'll look into it.

Thanks!

Oh great, thanks for the link too! I ended up on iPodLounge, which had some software too, so I think I'll be fiddling around with that.

They do have some... should be posted on their site.

The company looks interesting, and I like them (haha, mostly because I use them), but the job I was applying for seemed kind of quantitative, so I don't think I will be called back. Ah well...
