Uber Headset


I have finished my "Uber Headset" Prototype. I wanted to craft a headset that would block out the rest of the world and be super tough to last being chucked and transported in the gym bag that I stash the rest of my peripherals in. I took my noise canceling SONY MDR-NC6 Headphones, replaced all of the shitty wiring SONY did, and enclosed the speakers inside of industrial ear muffs. I also added a mic to make it a full gaming headset. I wanted a durable wire going from the headset to my PC, so I just took a cat5 cable and made an Ethernet to headphone / mic adapter. :D

OMGee 1st p0st.....

So why the fuck should I waste it just to say some shit like: "Welcome to my blog..." Honestly, it's a waste of bandwidth and space. (<1kb, but still a waste.) So I'm just gonna get cracking and tell the world about my latest and not so great venture.

Well I got an iPod touch for xmas. It's pretty fucking cool and it's probably the bast damn thing Apple ever made. The only con is that it's the 2nd gen touch so I cant jailbreak it yet :( So I'm stuck with having to use iTunes to get free apps and upload music and vids.

iTunes, as some of you may know is a piece of shit. Using iTunes is like being anally penetrated by someone, but instead of them using lube, they force sand down your ass. First off it shit itself when I tried to install it. I have 64bit server 2008, and for some dumb ass reason it needed me to create a 2nd admin account to install the fucker.

I downloaded the latest firmware and uploaded some songs successfully without too much crashing. Then when I tried to install some apps and I had to log into the iTunes store. I used a really old account I had back when Pepsi gave away free songs, and I actually paid for music. :P I logged in successfully, and then it asked me for a fucking Credit Card.

When I went to put in my parent's CC info it kept telling me the security code was incorrect. So yep I'm stuck with an appless touch and apple must die.

Edit: I finally got iTunes working. It's really picky about the info you supply about the billing address. After a 30min long phone call to apple and a lot of googling, I finally am downloading apps :D
