It’s not even lunch hour and I’m already bewildered by the odd goings-on I’ve dealt with at the office so far today. Let’s see…
- Installing WinRAR on a production room PC and showing a morning show producer how to extract a multipart RAR file.
- Reinstalling CoolEdit 2000 on another production room PC, because for some reason the existing copy had forgotten that it’s licensed.
- Wrestling with a bizarre login error loop on a promotions manager’s laptop, then (for good measure) merging two iTunes music collections (and I don’t even want to know how she ended up with a divided library).
- Chasing down the source of a weird iTunes_Music directory on, of all things, the main Enco fileserver. Turns out to have been caused by the fact that one of our music directors has a computer with two optical drives (CD burner and DVD-ROM) which makes both the first “available” drive letter and the Enco server drive mapping, “F:”… and the iPod drive mounter isn’t smart enough to notice that the drive letter’s already in use.
