How to Catalogue your CDs/DVDs
I lots of files in my hard drive and i burn out gigabytes of data every month to keep my already overcapacitied hard disk from blowing. This translates into hundreds of CDs/DVDs. One thing I’ve noticed is that there is only so much space on the disk label to write down [...]

Most people who own iPods would probably have iTunes installed to transfer/organise music on their iPod and most likely be coerced to use iTunes as their music player on their computer (it’s so tightly integrated that Apple labels it as iPod + iTunes, and apple.com/ipod goes to apple.com/itunes).

Got myself a iPAQ recently and I choose not to go down the converged smart phone-PDA route. It was a tough choice between an iPAQ rx4540 and an iPAQ rx5750. I settled for the rx4540 after much deliberation comparing the trade-offs in their various shortcommings. The rx4540 was small enough (size, price and features-to-cost ratio) [...]
