TuneJuice

Paul Westbrook | 27 February, 2006 23:27

Prod Image JuiceI bought the TuneJuice to allow me to watch more than 2 hours of video on my iPod.  The TuneJuice allows you to connect a 9 volt batter to an iPod to extend the playback time.

One interesting thing is that the internal iPod battery is not charged with the TuneJuice.  When the TuneJuice is connected, the battery indicator on the iPod just shows that there is more charge. 

Since the internal batter is not charged, I wonder if the iPod Dock connector has separate pins for external battery packs than for battery chargers.

Torx screwdriver

Paul Westbrook | 27 February, 2006 23:06

I finally got around to getting a torx screwdriver to tighten the hinge on my PowerBook.  This was the same problem that was fixed at the Apple Store last October.

I find it pretty interesting that none of the tool sets that we have at home had a torx screwdriver, and that Home Depot only had one in the whole store.  This especially since most computers use torx screws.  Maybe there would have a better selection if I had gone to a store like Fry's Electronics.

Podcast list

Paul Westbrook | 27 February, 2006 22:45

An appleScript has been posted on the Paint the Tiger blog that prints out the list of podcasts that are in iTunes.  This is a lot nicer than looking at an opml file. 

One thing that I would love to add is to have the html have link to the podcast itself in the generated html.  Unfortunately, this url is not made available from iTunes AppleScript dictionary.
