Back to normal plus some

Whew, looks like I finally have all the items crossed off of the "to fix/ to do" list for the computer. I'm sure it will be weeks before I am completely rid of "that's not installed?" moments, but now that I have the iPod working again (although I still can't for the life of me make the udev rule work to make it show up as /dev/ipod) I think I've got all the things I "need" back in place. I also took the opportunity to finally install and set up ntpd so now I won't sit down at my computer after lunch and have the clock tell me it's 4 AM anymore. I also did a few things the "right" way that had been done the "working" way before but none of those were very interesting.

At any rate, I'm done messing with the computer for a while, and I think the both of us are happy about that.
