Logitech Music Server / SqueezeBox / LMS - invisible entries on random lists and skipping songs

Datatalk / Music.

Yes. Old technology, but it's still working.

I have some issues lately, so I'm now trying to troubleshoot my ages-old installation. The problems that I've seen:

2. Sometimes the last bit of a song is skipped

Character Names - Fighting Baseball (SNES)

Gaming.

If one doesn't have the license to the official names, then why not simply make up some? That's what EA Sports did in Japan, back in 1994. And aren't they great?

Who doesn't remember the legendary Sleve McDichael, Jeromy Gride, or my all-time favorite, Bobson Dugnutt?

The (Dis)honest Romance Writer

Writing.

The following is a completely dishonest, biased, male-viewpoint, misogynistic, unfair and unhinged :-) approach to writing romance. So, take it for what it is: a very cynical outlook on (broken) hearts.

And before I start: there is nothing wrong with reading or writing romance! If you like it, go for it! It's not better or worse than other genre, in any way.
