iTunes finally does something I want!

The other day I was out and about on the university campus with my laptop and my iPod working on my dissertation (location vectors and what not) and during a rather lengthy build and deploy I decided I’d go and play with iTunes to see what cool things I hadn’t found yet in iTunes 9.

It turns out that it FINALLY allows me to play my music stored on the iPod though iTunes.

I know some of you are thinking “So?” but for me it means I can use my laptop headphone socket so I can both listen to my music on the iPod AND get system announcements such as mail notifications, so now I can be jamming out to Pulp (I know I’m old school like that) and have Hal9000 announce that there is a message for me at the same time.

Who says good things don’t come to those who wait!

My current happenings
Currently I'm working on my third year project where my research question is how do I provide the most relevant infomation to a user based on their current location, for this I'm investigating the use of Tag Vectors, global and personal tag clouds and clustering of users based upon their individual tags.
