MEME: Another tarot one

Spooky - different quiz, but this was a tie between High Priestess (what I guess on the other was Hierophant) and Death card...but I got the High priestess first before I realised it was a tie with Death.

So secrets, living on instincts and maybe short term hurt and change? Seems to describe it pretty well.

Tarotness sealed for freshness )

Now that's weird

You know the evil company I used to work for 4 1/2 years (anxiety attacks, panic attacks, stress related illness to anme but a few)?

Well I just had a booking through for them for a few days, and it was the same boss - agency hadn't bothered to check my CV...

Sadly I had to say no, despite really needing the work.

Going back there would be too weird and stressful, and I know that boss hates me anyway. And I promised myself I'd never go back whatever (I went back once before under a better boss), I'm not about to violate that promise.

iTunes Music Store is fucking dumb

After [livejournal.com profile] qxbear posted the latest very funny Kelly video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcidD2HFK8M&eurl= (Txt Msg Breakup) I decided I have to have this and Shoes.

OK iTunes...deep breath...first time I've purchased anything from there but hey, I do have an Apple ID from way back. OK iTunes has decided I'm in Japan, no I don't want to buy these in Yen, scrabble to find the location switcher - OK it's on the front page, done.

Add the tunes to my cart then....hey where's the Shopping Cart?

Hello? It's not like I'm a dumzo first time Net user and I know nothing about user interfaces, I design them as my job fer chrissakes...but how do I actually BUY something?!? No little shopping cart icon, no BUY HERE IDIOT button, nothing in the menus, nothing in the sidebar.

I know you know how much I love Apple but even for them this is crap UI design. Simply, crap.

EDIT: Got around it by switching to 1-click in the preferences and clicking on each song in turn (still kicked up an error about my perfectly OK card details though cos they introduced the security number since). Still no idea where they've hidden the shopping cart though, and a bitch cos I have to d/load each song in turn. Not user friendly.

unlock your protected Apple iTunes files

Interesting site: http://hymn-project.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1314 - works on Microsoft (QTFairUse does work if you're iTunes 6 and maybe 7) but not Mac, funnily enough, it's the old burn to CD + rip trick...

Of course you've already bought them, (found them to be annoyingly protected after spending your cash) and just want to play them in Winamp - cos iTunes always plays sucky on my computer - like me :-D
