Dear Apple,
I love the fact that I bought a product that doesn't work, and I really love how your support staff (whom I've gotten to know so well over the course of many, many calls) blames it on everything else but the product.
Maybe it will work better when I hit it with a hammer.
What's the problem? I'm glad you asked.
I bought this paperweight a few months ago so that we could enjoy the music on our harddrive on speakers slightly better than those on my laptop. Apple advertises this as a really easy piece of equipment - simply plug it in and your off.
Guess what? It's not that easy. I should have known (as I bang my head against the wall).
The problem is, the music keeps dropping out. Sometimes it can play for hours without problems, but usually, it's only a matter of seconds. And it's really not very much fun listening to music and having it start and stop every 15 seconds or so. Real fun.
Not being one to let it go, I've spent weeks on end researching the problem and trying as hard as I can to fix it. I've gone to the Apple web site and found a little bit of consolation in knowing that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. As a matter of fact, is there anyone with an Airport Express that WORKS?!
Apple's tech support site suggested I upgrade the firmware. I did, and the dropping out problem went away for a couple of days. Then it came back worse than ever. Other users on the Apple web site suggested increasing the streaming buffer in iTunes. I did, and the problem is slightly better - but not fixed.
I've called Apple's tech support line 3 or 4 times now and heard things like, "it's not our product. It must be your router. Oh.... you're on a PC. We don't support third-party software." My favorite piece of advice was to turn off the encryption on my router. So, you're telling me that if a person wants to use your product, you think they should turn off the security on their home network? Great idea!! OK, for the sake of argument I tried this brilliant suggestion. The problem didn't go away.
I was also told that I should set my home network at the top of my "preferred networks list" in the windows network manager. Really? Do you get paid for such brilliant advice?
If anyone out there can help me I'd be most appreciative - otherwise I may freak out. And my wife doesn't like me much when I get this angry at inanimate objects (hell, I don't like me that much when I get this angry at inanimate objects!!)

Well, if you saw the Blip Blog on Blipfoto.com at all today then you'll know why I found myself at the Edinburgh Tattoo tonight. But not just at the Tattoo. Oh no.
Chaperoned in I was ushered 'backstage' behind the walls of the Castle to see the 'Big Bla' - basically all of the bands getting ready to perform, or milling and taking in the views while having a fag and taking photos with mobile phones. The concentration, though, was intense, as soundchecks were carried out, before a load of the bands joined forces to limber up. From here, back through the esplanade as the grandstands started to fill, and up to where the VIPs live, inadvertently bumping into a partner at a law firm I used to work for occasionally, and becoming an impromptu portrait photographer.
Back down and the first hour of the show was taken in at ground level, in front of the grandstands, with nothing obscuring the view. From the dreich first entrance and shows of tartan; to Dutch military bicycle music (yes... really...). As they left the Brazilians swung (quite literally) into rhythm, only to be replaced by some brute force gun running, then some unexpected German humour with dancing; giant horns; and lederhosen.
There were motorbikes (celebrating 90 years of the Scottish branch of the British Legion I think, and, of course, big-hatted drummers.
With 25 minutes or so left it was time for a higher vantage point. And while this meant missing out on the detail of the spectacle, it meant I could play with some long shutter speeds to get the motion of the performers, and the fantastic image overlaying going on right on the surface of the Castle. So musicians filed in; while the Castle became red, white and blue; then patriotic; then rampant.
Phew.
A full rack with project back-up material.
