Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

-fucked up/missing id3 tags
-fucking around correcting fucked up id3 tags
-fucking it up
-itunes/winamp still fucking up recognising them after they're not fucked up

id3 tags would be the greatest thing ever if we'd all realised right at the start of digitising music

Jeff is the king of well organized id3 tags. He took an entire summer one year and got ours in order (we have loads of digital music). I teased him about it at the time, but damn it's really great and I think loving thoughts about him every time I set up an elaborate playlist made possible by properly tagged music files.

"loads" doesn't convey just how many songs Jeff fixed. Many years ago he put them on DVDs and I think it took up 7 or 8 of them.

the new ID4 tag convention is due so you will have to do them all over again or they wont play

i think i like being obsessive (anal) and squaring all my tags. it's kind of fun, and i've been doing it so long now that i've got a "system". worst thing are files that you can't really tag properly - foreign obscurities, old demos, that kind of thing.

I may have posted this upthread, or maybe someone else has, but I really hate it when people are walking backwards down the sidewalk as they chat with friends or say goodbye to friends or whatever and then act surprised when they bump into you. You're walking backwards, asshole! I could have been an open manhole. Be thankful.

By the way, children - especially my own - are the epitome of "innocuous things that make you irrationally angry."

will i be banned/permabanned if i make a thread exclusively of san te/neanderthal posts from this thread?

Oh, is neanderthal san te?

Man, that sentence really makes no sense.

I'm actually kevin spacey

You have a lot to answer for.

K-Pax wasn't my fault!

the hell it wasnt

fucking dumbshit neighbors who always park in front of our house instead of their own stupid house, so I have to park around the corner. which is fine except when you have to lug 5 huge bags of groceries.
harrumph.

or when neighboors park in front of their house on each side so two lane road becomes half a lane road

At least you can get yr groceries in a car? I have to walk 15 mins to the nearest supermarket and carry all the bags home on foot.

it's even worse when all of my servants have the day off and I have to put away the groceries myself. I don't know how people do it.

I hate when servants experiment on each other

I mean, I made the choice way back to never learn how to drive (deep-seated fear, tbh) and I've managed with it ok. But yeh sometimes it gets frustrating w/regards to shopping. I wish I could just wizz down to Bunnings and buy plants and potting mix or to Ikea to buy a chair, but I cant. Mind you that means I dont impulsively do such things so I dont waste money hah.

I wish you could wizz in the plants at Bunnings

Trayce, can you get something like this? http://www.target.com/Trimmer-Heavy-Duty-Wheeled-Cart/dp/B00134OYEA/ref=sc_pd_gwvub_3_title

come at me bro

- Donald Trump's hair

--when people who aren't funny try to be funny

- "This page is in foreign, would you like to translate it? Translate | Nope"

This shit irks me - like we're to think Google aren't a huge corporation but just a bunch of friendly IT dudes who say "nope" instead of "no".

that Google feature where it searches as you type irks me too. because it slows everything the fuck down. yea I know you can turn it off but god is it annoying!

"This page is in foreign, would you like to translate it? Translate | Nope"

.. also

I said "foreign" - Google says whatever language the page is in.

It's a useful function. The matey "nope" is stupid.

I like the search as you type thing (you can turn off that feature, you know), but what I can't stand is when the search results page overrides my keyboard shortcuts, including page up/down and scrolling with the arrow keys. It doesn't do it every time, and I can't figure out what makes it happen when it does.

It is a useful. Sorry, the 'foreign' seemed bad if it was Google doing it, (fair enough) if it was your subst.

Re: the scrolling. The up/down arrow keys allow you to select through the search result.

^ ia over that too - I want my down key to scroll the page but I have to sign out of google for that

that littel heart thing <3 really looks to me like a scrotum on its side

I know what arrow keys do, but I don't want them to do that! And it only does it sometimes, which is annoying.

Google Chrome crashed yesterday and I got abt 6 popup messageboxes going "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed" (I forget the wording but it definitely started with "Whoa!")

and yeah, I don't like the new Google interface, because:
- up+down arrows not scrolling = confusing
(I use a laptop with no scrollwheel and like to scroll in smaller increments than PgUp/PgDn, because on a screen of 10 Google results PgDn hits the bottom and it's hard to find where you've already read up to)
- I'm in the habit of hitting "backspace" for back, but this obv no longer goes back, but deletes the last key of the search term and then searches again, losing the real search results
- in fact it completely fucks up the whole concept of back/forwards, if you search for something and then change your search term the original search is not in your browser history

Google - Bill Gate's rebellious teen son

My old roommate is a cog in the google machine nowadays. fwiw, friendly IT type who says nope instead of no, is pretty accurate.

Ooo oooh can he get me a job!
(you only dis them until you get a chance to join them)

Only after I get Zac one first. (we hear that there's an office not too far from here that's looking for people) I did get some free swag tho. M especially likes to chew on the google hackysack.

I like that Google will do that drop-down.

The number of times I need to check an album title and this means I don't have to click "Search" to do it...

I don't think "aw, snap" means what they think it does
