Been off at a conference. I was presenting a poster about C#. When I get the pictures off the camera I'll show you what it looks like....

Anyhoo, last night I was sitting in a hotel room, miles away from home, and I thought I'd put some music on. So I fire up my Portable Media Centre and try to listen to some of my Napster music. I've signed up for Napster to go (wonderful service) and so I can download anything I like (and I like a lot) and listen to it on the Zen.

Until last night. All my licences expired. I was listening to one track, it moved onto the next, and stopped. Just like that. I could look at the album art but playing music was off the menu for the night. The first time I go away in ages and all my mobile content goes toes up. Ho hum.

It must be because I've not plugged the Zen into the PC for a while. But it was rather sad (and vivid proof of what happens to the media when its time is up). At least I could play some of the hundred or so albums that I own....

The good news is that I've just plugged it back into the PC at home and everything works now.  But I'll definitely synchronise more often from now on.
