Keeping the computer busy

[johnridley]

My kids are up-to-the-minute on Dr Who. I, OTOH, haven't had time to sit down and watch an episode for a long time. In fact, I haven't watched Runaway Bride yet. That puts me a full two seasons behind now. Not to mention Torchwood or Sarah Jane Adventures. The latter are already on the player, the former I'll leave for another time; I can honestly take or leave Torchwood.

I went to load them up on my MP3 player to watch in the car on the trip, and remembered that I'd downloaded an excellent set of fan-produced DVDs last year instead of XviDs as I normally do. So now I'll be queuing up a whole lot of DVD->XviD encoding over the next few days. Luckily I have two DVD drives and AutoGordianKnot.

I also have a few dozen ebooks in the reader.

Now all I have to do is actually get ready for the actual events...

Not in any way surprising, but it's easier and faster to just download the XviDs off usenet than to re-encode them from my DVDs.
