iPod Trick

I recently had a connection problem with my iPod: neither the Finder nor iTunes could "see" it. Of consequence it wasn't possible to restore it using iTunes.
I discovered that resetting the iPod and pressing center button + play/pause while the screen is black (before the apple logo appears) forces the iPod in Disk Mode. Now connecting the iPod to the Mac, it is instantly recognized, and can be easily restored.

New York Trip and Wndows Live Gallery embedding

I have 2 great news: first of all I just came back from my trip to NY, where I presented 2 acoustics papers. More info on that tomorrow. Furthermore I just found out how to embed my windows live photo gallery in my website. I'll embed them all tomorrow. Final news: I bought the new 8GB iPod Nano (black). It is just amazing. I really got to buy a case for it, as I'm keeping it in an old sock now (a bit like the Apple sock, but not half as goodlooking). I realized that the videos I posted to my podcast up to now aren't iPod compatible. Next issues will be fully compatible.
