A Sexy Alex, stage 2: DMSI Journal (now 3.3.2!)

[apollolux]

Well. Once is a coincidence, twice is suspicious. Today was the second time since starting 7 loops of 3.2B that I awoke to find my iPod "out of power." Last time, a couple of days ago, I thought it was a fluke, a coincidence given how much charge was left when I set it up for the night and didn't plug it in. This time, I had it plugged in but apparently it wasn't charging properly. After waking up this morning I found it didn't charge so I had to jiggle the cable a bit (it's an iPod Classic, so uses the old-style iPod connector) to apparently solve the issue. I had left for an appointment and when I came back it seemed to be fully charged, so that seems to have "solved" the issue for now.

While it's fairly obvious that I'll be plugging it in pretty much every time when playing more than 7 hours of audio from now on, I've now become suspicious of this as the first REAL potential bit of external resistance to the potential success of 7 loops of DMSI.

Or it could be that this iPod is quite a few years old and its battery is the one it came with.
