It's a geek's diary. In order to test out SyGate, I needed to create a second ICQ account. Sorry, I had to vent. Anyway, the SyGate review should be showing up soon. I wanted to take this moment to encourage anybody who actually reads this thing to not forget to come to our little fest in Boston.
Details are here .
Anyway, it should be a blast. The MP3s from a newly-ripped album decided to just stop every now and then. Backing the progress bar up and listening to the same point again never resulted in a repeat of the skip, so it wasn't the fault of the MP3 file. I'm not sure why this is happening, 'cause I have since determined that the pauses are more or less pauses effecting the entire system. I wonder if I might have been having some network problems or something along those lines.
