Shannon's Journal, Volume 3

[Shannon]

Here's an example of the ridiculousness I have been dealing with all month. This is a very minor example.

My mp3/audio tagger of choice, EasyTag, started off refusing to allow me to navigate to the directory where the audio files were. I had to find configuration settings and change them to point to where those files were.

When I do that and make the changes, it refuses to write them, because it claims not having permissions. When I open the file manager, the files are all owned by me and all the folders are owned my me, and I have read/write permissions.

Then I notice that the directory tree starts with /user, not /home. It references "user 1000" instead of "shannon" and it seems to be accessing the files from a very strange alternate route. I am unable to figure out how to get this to stop so my best guess is, I get to start using a new file tagger.

So tired of all these stupid little failures.
