Things to do in a powercut; and afterwards!

I was sitting at the desk this afternoon updating the site and creating some more nodes on the Wiki and having a general tidy up. Quite a nice time too; iTunes on and just typing away when suddenly a click and total silence…

First thoughts are is was just us, turned out to be the whole street, so what do you do? Can’t even have a cup of tea to pass the time, how sad.

This was a good time to try and catch up with some reading, I have previously purchased a copy of ‘Angels & Demons’ by Dan Brown; from 'The Da Vinci Code’ fame, and so decided this might be a good time to start reading it. It was good to sit there with out any distractions and just chill out, despite the feeling I was babysitting for some one (Lucy!)

Eventually the power was restored and I decided to carry on with the site update. So upstairs I went and booted my G5 and everything looked fine, now to start iTunes and carry on…

This is where the problems began. Somewhere my iTunes library had corrupted during the power cut. The raw files are still on the disk but the linking xml file has gone totally t*ts up! Every file will need relinking and 'finding’ again so I guess I pick a wet Sunday afternoon and relink the files, unless any one has a handy Automator work flow or a script that can do it all?
