Audiobook finished

Ashes of Victory by David Weber
Honor Harrington book 9

This is the book my friend warned me was a snoozer. I don't know what he's talking about, I found it quite good. It's not wall-to-wall space battles, but it's still good.

Quote of the book was...
Shannon Foraker: Oops! (no spoilers, but it was funny).
johnridley: (Boring)

Tax day 2

Today is the final day to file extended 1040 returns, plus it's a minor business due date.
So I'm up babysitting the electronic filing systems until Midnight. And I gotta do it again next Monday, which is the final day to refile rejected returns.

I got the new camcorder, spent an hour or so reading the manual, poked through all the features, done with that. It actually seems to take pretty good 3 megapixel still photos, it even has a flash.

The 16G class 6 cards won't be here for a while, they are coming from Amazon on free shipping. I put in an 8G card I had, but it's class 2 so the camera just laughs at me when I try to set it on the highest bandwidth setting (it actually won't let me set it there without a class 4 or better card). Also I don't have a Mini-HDMI cable yet so I can't really properly review video.

It's going to be interesting seeing how to back up the data from this thing. It creates a ton of files on the card, I assume they'll get combined on the PC into something that's back-up-able.
