iTunes Album Rating

Saturday, November 7th, 2015

Recently I started importing a large number of CDs into my iTunes library. I set up an “Unrated” playlist to play the songs/tracks that I hadn’t rated yet.

On to design

I’ve been thinking about doing a series of some programming topic. Two ideas came to mind. Going through Effective C++ or Design Patterns

Everybody pretty much hates telemarketers. They interrupt during dinner. Try to sell you something you don’t want or care about, and they won’t accept no for an answer. That kind of thing. But that’s not the rude I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is when they get nasty when you ask do be put on their do not call list.
