More savings from O&O Software
June 30th, 2009 | 
Author: You know I’m a big fan of O&O Software and the products they make. I use their utilities to backup my system, recover files and defrag my files. Well, if you’ve been waiting to buy any of their products now is the time to do it. I just got a coupon for 40% off EVERYTHING in their store. You can use it for any product or any bundle. If you haven’t got a backup program in place or need to tools to do some data recovery, now is the time to act.
Use Coupon Code: U21-EURO-2009 to save 40% on any and all products in the store.
And don’t forget Coupon Code: ZG8-P95-8X5 to take a flat $10 off any purchase.
Unlike so many vendors out there, they actually have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of their software.

I got my act together
I can’t believe it’s actually taken this long, but I’ve finally got the iPod Touch worked out. I’ve made my playlists for my different music tastes; I’ve even converted a couple of TV episodes to the right and played them. Hell, I even downloaded a couple of free games from the App Store and got them to work. I’ve finally gotten past the frustration and now think the iPod is actually pretty neat.
Of course I have come to one realization, my music collection sucks. I listen to a pretty wide range of music and have CDs from all manner of bands, but the sadly reality is, my collection isn’t cool. I can’t say that I’m offbeat, or quirky, or even eclectic. I haven’t gotten on board with any new bands in several years. I can’t stand listening to the radio because of all the commercials and it would appear all the guys I listen to aren’t making music anymore.
Apparently I need to find some hipster teenager and find out what they’re listening to. I guess when you get an iPod you need to update your music collection to match.
Let there be video!
Now comes the fun part of trying to find the right software to convert my AVI files to the correct format for the iPhone. Looks like there’s quite a few out there that can do it, but of course everyone is looking for a ton of cash and their program only encodes 5 minute of video. Going to have to wade through a lot of crap I can tell that already.
The good news is I’m listening to music on the iPhone. It’s only driven me to the edge of insanity, but now I have it working. At least it accepts the MP3 format. Too bad it doesn’t accept the AVI format, the most common video format on the face of the planet…
