UPDATE I have closed the comments for this post. I followed instructions elsewhere and shared my experience of doing so. It worked for me on my configuration. There are many variables - versions of iPods, Windows and iTunes, so I am in no position to guarantee that it will work for you nor am I able to assist you if it doesn’t. The instructions here are ‘as is’. All the best!
As you may have read, my hard disk died some time back. I got most things installed, updated and running. One thing remained: getting my music collection off my iPod to the computer. iPod owners know that this is not possible without third-party software. Well, the new version of iTunes allows you to do it, but it’s a multi-step process. I got the instructions from jkOnTheRun.
jk’s instructions are excellent, but I still felt unsure about going through with it. Some of the people who left comments didn’t seem to have success. I decided to bite the bullet and go through with it.

Funny how I come across resources on the net. I noticed someone visited my blog based on the search term “singapore marathon blogs”. (Now, here’s a community marketing opportunity the organisers of the marathon are missing big time.) Out of curiosity, I clicked the search term provided in my Performancing metrics report, and I found SinGeo.
If this was highlighted somewhere in my numerous feeds or on tomorrow.sg, I must have missed it. Anyway, Singapore is a small place. I noticed that a fellow Friend of Yesterday, Victor, already commented on one of the posts.
SinGeo is a new blog which highlights Google Earth resources relating to Singapore. If you’re a Google Earth user, you know that the default overlays are US-centric. What’re locals to do? Well, create our own stuff, that’s what! There’s already a comprehensive Singapore placemarks file for Google Earth. Now, SinGeo adds tremendously to the overlays and 3D models available relating to our little red dot.
Hmmm… must figure out how to make this post-World War II map of the Bishan area an overlay in Google Earth.

UPDATE My none-too-impressive running stats. That only means I have plenty of room to improve.
———–
About three months back, Theresa convinced me to sign up for the 10km race in the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. I hesitantly signed up, thinking that I would train for three months, starting with 3km, then adding an extra 3km per month. By race day, I’d be running 9km with ease. What’s an extra kilometer?
That was the plan. Reality, naturally, took a different path.
The first month’s training was hampered by my surprise visit to Oz. The second month’s training was hampered by a reoccurrence of a bad lower back injury. By the third month, I wondered what in the world I had gotten myself into.
Immediately after registering for the race, I set up a pre-timed entry, scheduled to appear here at the moment the 10km race was supposed to begin - 7 a.m. I deleted the post a few weeks back because I was convinced I wasn’t going to take part.
One of my colleagues, who signed up for the full marathon, said that I should just go anyway. Walk if I have to, but finish it.
So, I collected the race pack last week. I spent the whole week in trepidation, wondering if I would survive the 10km. To put things in perspective, I have never gone 10km before. Not even during NS.
