Awesome!

Sweet, managed to score a 2.5" USB external hard drive box for $20 today downtown. Normally I only see them for like $60 so I'm rather excited. Tried it out and works fine, so the HDD from Jess' old laptop is in it. Gotta wait for her to get home tonight, there's apparently some files on it she still wants, probably music. Then it gets wiped and BOOM 60GB of space onto the server.

Now I have to figure out how to get rid of the stupid partition that Dell put on it.....

That didn't go as planned...

The blog? No, I expected an update every couple of weeks, didn't you? Silly goose.

No, the podcast Keith and I recorded is downhill. Skype didn't sync our voices, so I've got to pull them apart and re-sync them. Good thing the program we used recorded one in the right and one in the left, so I just have to rip them apart and resplice them, which is not as easy as it sounds.

Although even then things don't sound right, because we pause and stutter when we WOULD'VE heard the other person talking, so it still sounds like poop.

Anywho, I'm slowly workin on it still, when I feel like fighting with it, and may eventually put it out.

However, I recently set up a desktop for Ellie. It's not the greatest, but it may be more stable than my laptop right now, so I'm gonna try to get everything set up on that, and we'll try again. I could really use a mixer on it though. Anybody got an old mixer they're not using?

Nah, didn't think so...

New project on the go...

Well, my buddy Keith from MI and I have recorded our first podcast episode, as best as we can anyway. The software we were using would stop recording for no reason. I've got to edit it together, and hopefully it works out ok.

It's been a pretty slow week with the exception of the US inauguration. Our gov't goes back to work on Monday, let's see if they can get anything done this time around.

Somehow I doubt it...

Am So Happy Flashpoint is Back!

Yes yes yes! While all the other geeks were hyperventilating over the last Battlestar Galactica episodes starting, I was enjoying the 2nd new episode of Flashpoint. Woot for Canadian SWAT drama!

Oh yeah, and I heart Hugh Dillon.



I has a man-crush. He's my hero.

BenBlog v. 4.0...I think...

I'm horrible with this blogging thing.

I get into for a while, then lose interest. Back and forth. It's really just hard to keep interest I guess, difficult to sit down long enough to write a good post.

I think for now I'm just going to post whatever crap I feel like though. A good YouTube video, an interesting podcast episode, or maybe just a little rant. Forget there being a "topic" for the whole thing, I'm just gonna post whatever. Although this may be a good place to look for commentary on science, politics (Canadian and American) or music. I'll try to keep up on my labels. However, because I use my own template, Blogger won't let me put those up. I'll see about fixing that.
