Last night I successfully recorded a hi-def program off my Comcast DVR onto my computer over firewire. It was fairly painless but a 90 minute program did produce a 10+ gig file, now to take that and convert it into a compressed file, perhaps divx. It's fun to have a widescreen laptop connected to a 32" lcd for playing back videos, it sure enhances the experience to be able to use the whole screen.

Still studying Japanese, I wonder how much I'll know if I keep this up for a year. I only started in late December and have already learned a lot, I can't speak much since I'm just listening to Podcasts but I do understand a lot more of the dialogue in the anime I download.

Gonna ride on the frud tonight (that's frozen mud by the way) It's been cold enough for a few days that the ground should be solid out in Mac forest, maybe I'll ride the FSR instead of the SS.
