I think my iPod is on its last legs. I have had it for around 3+ years now and I think it has served its useful life. Day by day it is playing music, but only out of one ear. So, slowly I am going deaf in only one ear. I guess that’s a good thing, right?

The hard drive in it appears to be working just fine and I’ll probably use it to backup my photos or something, but the sound it outputs is really starting to drive me mad. The headphone jack is all screwed up. I have to fiddle with it to get sound out of both ears, but sustaining that is nothing short of a challenge.

Ok, so, I couldn’t wait all 30 days to rid my site of the legacy linking. I decided to take care of it today with some .htaccess rules. But, have no fear, you shouldn’t see a change in the way things are going on around here. However, the old permalinks with /blog in them will still be broken until I go ahead and fix them.

In the meantime, I would love you if your links pointed as follows:
