Well, I’d like to say it was an eventful weekend. Turned out it was and it wasn’t. I got stuff accomplished, mind you, so it wasn’t really a waste. The only problem I had was the fact that I had planned on getting my computer desk area cleaned out and never did. Oh, well…
Friday night was actually pretty uneventful. I spent most of the evening watching Sci-Fi Channel’s Friday lineup, and then after that did a news update for MK Online. Then, right before I went to bed, I set up the Powerbook and had it start the process of encoding the video of Louie’s party and burning it to DVD. The first master disc I had made of it ended up badly encoded, with the audio being out of sync in places. This new disc had no such problems, so I made two more copies for Louie.
Saturday morning was spent getting a donation in to Demmie’s blogathon, and then getting ready for Dave to come around. He did, we had lunch, played videogames, discussed movies, and so on and so forth. Then, around 6 PM, Louie showed up, and we all came up with a plan: Italian for dinner, then billiards, and then maybe bowling. So, we headed off to this nearby Italian restaurant called Lasagna House III which had a pool hall next to it. We ate dinner, and then walked over to the pool hall… to find it packed. A check of another nearby pool hall showed the same thing. So, we found the nearest bowling alley… but before we went there, we stopped in CompUSA (where I picked up the DOOM 3 expansion and Dave picked up Grand Theft Auto III), and then hit Barnes & Noble for a bit. Once done there, we went and bowled for a couple of hours, and then headed home.
Sunday was pretty much uneventful, other than doing some maintenance and checks on my Powerbook. I made sure the camcorder worked well with iMovie HD (seeing as I had never used the two together before), and also cleared off the iMovie project of Louie’s party, thus reclaiming about 15 GB of disk space. I also found the lenscap for my camcorder (which I hadn’t even realized I had in the first place), and gathered the cables for it in one place.
As for the rest of this week, well… I’m taking a couple of days off later this week and will be going out of town, so I need to make preparations for that. I’ll have to dig up my digital camera as well, and make sure all of my rechargable batteries for it are fully charged. The camcorder will be coming as well, but I don’t know if I have any empty MiniDV tapes. So, I’ll have to go to Fry’s and get some, as well as a double-CD jewel case for this new Overclocked Remix site project that’s going to be released tonight. Fun fun…
Well, enough of this… time to go make the rounds and see what the current issues out there are right now…
