damn mp3 players ... the countdown has started

so in 2 days is the big run ... well it's not a big run, but I mean on Saturday the day has come .... the day I was preparing myself for the past weeks. Today I went to the last training and we got our shirts and the startnumbers and the chip to meassure the time... Today was my last training before the run and I somehow enjoyed it.

I wanted to prepare my mp3 player the whole week. you remember? I wa sthinking about getting an ipod or a new smaller mp3 player. but then again I told myself is it worth spending money because I have one that would be enough for the run and otherwise I still have my ipod touch. so I decided NOT to buy a new one. half an our ago I wanted to create my run-playlist ... di you know that rechargeable batteries can destroy a mp3 player? I didn't lol now I know. the player works when I plug it into the computer but not with batteries. so that is a sign I guess ... so I will have to buy a new one tomorrow ... mp3 player or ipod shuffle .... no idea ... hope I will get another sign lol

strange me ....

I did it again .... I decided to buy something and realized that they stopped producing it lol. This week while I was training for the run I'm gonna do next week I decided I should get me another MP3 player for that run, because my ipod touch is just too big for that occasion. Then I had the idea to puchase one of those little ipod shuffle since my music is converted to itunes anyway it it would make things easier for me because of I buy a regular MP3 player I would have to convert the files in MP3 first. So after the training I went to the store, but where they had those with clips months before ...(they were almost throwing them after you around X-mas) ... nothing was left. I realized that there was a new generation of ipod shuffle so obvioulsy they took the other ones out of the program grrrr.

Now I spent the whole morning with finding them online and finding one that would be here in just some days. This is better said than done since it seems that they are either way to expensive for a thing that isn't even recent anymore lol or I found strange shops where I'm not sure if the thing I ordered would ever reach me.

I think I have to go for a regular MP3 player and I will have to spend the time with putting MP3 files on it. damn it!

Have a nice weekend

Windows vs. Mac

So I have a computer and I bought a mac in november last year. Everybody that owns a mac said to me, it's so easy and so much better than windows. So far I have hard times to believe that. I have to admit that there are a lot of features of my mac I really like and those are so much better than windows BUT the reason I bought a macbook was that I am able to be online during traveling and that was most important able to update the websites. So since almost half a year I'm looking for suitable programs that are fitting with my windows programs. I'm not even able to resize pictures. All programs that I normally use have no suitable one for mac. I go insane. Right now I'm of the opinion that I will install even windows on my mac so that I have all that I need. On the other hand I'm unsure because windows in known for making computers working slower ... I'm just angry that I spent all that money and can't work properly right now.

End of my complaint :)

My new printer

Finally I managed to use my printer today .... I got one that can print pictures on the CD/DVD directly and I can tell you that it is such a good feature. It looks cool and professional, an equipment that was definatly worth buying.

2nd blog - shopping experience today

well the Media Markt turns 30 this year, so big deals can be made. On top of my list was besides a washing machine, which I really need a Macbook. Yesterday I saw the commercials and guess what MM had 19% (which is the percentage of VAT) of for equipment that costs more than 300 EURO.

So I decided yesterday to get me a Macbook and a washing machine. That was probably what the whole population of Berlin thought, since all Macbooks are sold out. Well at least the ones which are sold at the Media Markt. I left work early to get there as soon as possible and was even dreaming about useing my new Macbook lol. At least I got the washing machine, which will be delivered on Friday and was cheaper than the one I had in mind. So at least one success today!

Hipp Hurray!
