Mostly 80’s stuff in the backgroud… Some of the 80’s stuff is so dated. Some is just so timeless. Just with any musical era I guess. Because I am recording at the moment I am not playing any CD’s or MP3’s. I do have a normal radio, but the ones I have are elsewhere in the house. <\/p>\n
I was cleaning up my desk today and I found some airline vouchers from September which did not get Frequent Flyer points on them. I should contact Qantas and see if they will still redeem them. I think it is only one Alitalia let that is missing, and a BA trans-atlantic which gets 25% normal points, and maybe an American Airlines trip in the USA. All in all not many points. Actually the status credits are more valuable, but I will still not get enough to get to the next level of frequent flyer by June when my year drops out. <\/p>\n
My Dell DVD writer is so much nicer than before. They upgraded it to an 8x recorder when they replaced it. I guess this is cheaper than keeping older inventry. The recorder also does double sided discs which is cute… If only I had some. <\/p>\n
Now that I have the DVD burner working, I now have the job of moving old CD’s to DVD’s. Right now I have probably 70 CD’s to convert to DVD’s. They are all on a stack – and they will be copied and disposed off. Not that I ever need to access this information – some of it is just library material… But just in case. I would rather store 10 DVD’s containing 47 GBytes than 70 CD’s. It is just so much easier to search for stuff on DVD’s. When something bigger comes out I will be even happier. <\/p>\n
Soon I will need to move VHS tapes to DVD too. I just dont have the hardware for that at the moment. One of these days I will set that up. I have been meaning to buy a video camera for a few years too… Maybe I will get both at the same time. <\/p>\n
Right now I am burning DVD number five. Leaving a stack of 46 CD’s to be copied to DVD. If this sounds a bit strange, remember that I work for myself, and these are my professional library. And the way to manage information is to store it in a way that is easy on the person trying to use it. At some stage I will implement a decent document management system and import all this data into it. <\/p>\n
