I’ve  been wondering why iTunes 8.x has been ignoring any of my audio CDs. Today I finally got around to digging a little deeper. I found that it conflicts with Daemon Tools. Once I removed Daemon Tools, iTunes is happy to recognise and import my audio CDs again.

Configuration: Vista SP1, iTunes 8.0.2.20.

Not sure if this happens in other environments. YMMV. If anyone can suggest a replacement for Daemon Tools that is known to not conflict with iTunes, I’d love to hear about it.

I’m going to do my best to take up the 2009 Photo Challenge. One photo per day, different set subject per day. The first day’s subject is Chair.

Edit: I’m going to post my submissions to both flickr (rss) and SmugMug (rss).

I didn’t even know this rule existed.

1. Manage my time better. Last year was marked by too much work and not enough family. Need to find more time to play with the kids and talk to my wife.
2. Take more photos. Work seriously got in the way of photography in the second half of last year. I’m going to take up the 2009 Photo Challenge as a lever. We’ll see how long I last.
3. After today (1st of January, 2009) no more chocolate or chips. Time to lose a little weight. I’m not going to do the full Frankston Councillor detox, but I have to stop eating some of the junk I stuff down my gob. I could start this as of midnight last night, but we’ve got a bunch of stuff left in the cupboard and it sure would be a shame to see that go to waste.
4. Learn at least one new skill that’s totally unrelated to anything I know at the moment. No idea what this will be. Suggestions welcome.
5. Be more Machiavellian.
6. Stop waffling on about crap on my blog.
