It finally stopped raining. Now, if the goddess could make it a little warmer please. Where is global warming when you need it?
Very bad stuff at the grocery this morning:
- Ice Scrappers on sale $1.97 and
- Fruit Cakes. Maybe they were left over from last year.
Big event today is Handbreaking some movies. Will stash them on the removable hard drive. Then if we get bored silly in Hawaii, we’ll have some movies.
Doing the Handbreaking on the Ubuntu machine. Each one takes about 10 hours. But, I am in no rush. Figure I can do 2 a day and we are not leaving for 20 days. I’ll pick out some and let Mr C pick out some. He does not share my love of 1950’s sci-fi. (Either movies or written).
First movie: Dr Strangelove.
As for The Airness – I have had it about a month. And, I like it. I’d like it more if it had a 256 GB SSD. But, I’ll just have to use the gigabytes that I have carefully. I like the form factor too. The lightness makes it easy to pass over to Carlton to see this or that. The 13 inch screen is gracious. And the keyboard is almost as good as the classic IBM Thinkpad keyboard. And, it plays nice with the old Dell box. Very long range plan is to replace the Dell box with either a Mac Mini or iMac. I have no plans to “upgrade” XP to Windows 7. I paid my dues with the HP Vista 64-bit Whore Machine.
