Rant o matic: The remake.
Ok Rant time.
1st is the news and I have but one story that has been bugging me, The following is not an actual headline but gets the gist across.
"KATE MOSS TAKES COKE, POLICE INVESTIGATE TO BRING CHARGES"
My Headline.
"WE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DON'T GIVE A CRAP, POLICE SHOULD HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO"
Now ok drugs are an issue and the police are doing there job, but come on! Apparently she is going to be arrested if she comes back to England, I don't care! I would rather the police were spending the money they are wasting on trying to charge one coked up supermodel on putting the coppers back on the beat in easton, like we were promised.
2nd is windows media:
Has anyone in the history of windows media player got it to download a codex on it's own, Anyone, at all, ever. I download a movie file, open it and get the message "Downloading codex" quickly followed by "Error downloading codex" and a pop up window telling me I cant watch the movie.
Where I gods name do you find these things, If the bloody program trying to run them cant find them how the hell am I supposed to. There like the blinking golden fleece you have to gather a crew of 12 stout men and set off on a mystical voyage, fight mighty beasts, complete mind bending puzzles just to get hold of that precious codex.
Even the sodding Microsoft website doesn't have them, I have come to the conclusion that they don't actually exist and that it is all a con but if anyone out there has any other ideas I would be glad to hear them.
additionally Why cant WMP leave your albums where they are all nicely sorted. Why when you ask it to search for music does it insist that 90% of your music go in an "Unknown" folder, IT'S NOT SODDING UNKNOWN.
It's in a folder.
Just one album.
Marked with the album name.
And the artist name.
And contains all the tracks.
Why must it take the tracks out of the folder, mix them up with others and stick them in this folder. I have tried every possible permutation but WMP will not stop doing it. It drives me up the wall, no other music program has this issue.
Ok rant over comments can start now.
