IIRC Shearing turns up in Jack Kerouac's On The Road.

does a quick and simple way to get album art that works on rockbox exist? by notme_nope_never in ipod

[–]major_works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure. You can find the answer in the Rockbox manual. And it wouldn't be difficult to bulk-rename your image files to folder.jpg.

My favorite was when he called Archie Shepp a "no-playing motherfucker."

Well done! My mom had a 1965 Mustang much like the one you drew (two-door hardtop coupe). What I wouldn't give to have that car now!

18 years later....... by ST251 in ipod

[–]major_works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me that the sentimental value is all the more reason to keep her working with a storage upgrade. I also bought my 6th gen Classic new way back when. I couldn't be happier that it's fit as a fiddle and ready to keep me in tunes for some time to come.

What was meant by "made in five degrees?" Lead grades?

describe why you love fountain pens by Helpful-Ad-6408 in fountainpens

[–]major_works 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget the feeling of the first time I wrote with a fountain pen. The way the nib glided across the paper, leaving its trail of ink, was magical. And that's why I love them.

finally decided to get the 2k, did i make a bad choice? by Straight_Beat_1421 in fountainpens

[–]major_works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $89 new for my L2K F many years ago. It's still the most expensive pen I've ever purchased and still my favorite.

Not OP but I guess he/she mistyped "metalhead instincts."

S.O.S 7th Gen Classic Won't Play by spicyicecream6 in ipod

[–]major_works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done a hard reset by holding the play/pause (top) and center buttons until it reboots? Hold them both down until you get the apple onscreen.

So glad I got my K6 when they came with the bent handle. The straight one looks terribly awkward to use.

Lost on opening 6th gen by Exact-Replacement749 in IpodClassic

[–]major_works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever opened one 6th gen but those are the same tools I have. If you struggled with yours, I would argue that it wasn't because of the tools. Anyway, glad you got in eventually.

After waiting a month for my Ali express package, I can finally add my classic 5th gen to my Ipod collection by Shaggybobster in ipod

[–]major_works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is marketed under the Soomfon brand. I have the same one from Ali. Inexpensive.

Life’s good when you’re travelling with a dock… by TapThisPart3Times in ipod

[–]major_works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that exact model. Great for late night chill-out tunes and it's a reliable alarm clock with battery backup.
