Weekend Fun, DVD Burning
It was a very good weekend. Friday was a big work event up at Château Élan. I found, as usual, that no matter how nice the course is, I’m still pretty bad at golf. Saturday, we got some of the gang together and went out to celebrate my birthday at The Vortex and go have some drinks. Our fun was interrupted by the rain, however, and we had to hole up at Skippy’s place shooting pool and playing foosball. Not a bad way to celebrate one’s birthday.
Yesterday, we stayed inside (more rain) and I opened presents. The highlights were a DVD burner (yes, I’ve now entered the 21st century) and some very snazzy work clothes. Oh, and if you see me on MARTA reading any of the books in the Halo series, please try not to make fun of me. They’re interesting books.
The DVD burner makes my life much better, computer-wise. While I do have 440GB of space on my local hard disks (excluding iPods and other various external storage), I still seem to have a surfeit of large files that I don’t need daily access to, but can’t bring myself to delete. Now, I can burn them off 4.7GB at a time and make room for more important things, like archived shows from the Tivo and my 40GB of uncompressed video from our wedding that I’ve got sitting on there.
