Ripping
Attention: this is a non-knitting entry.
Howie decided about a week ago that he would rip all of our CD's to iTunes on our server. Then, we will be able to access all of our music for our iPods and, more importantly, we can play music through our laptops to the stereo wirelessly. He's VERY excited about this. Never use the CD player again. Never even use our CD's again. This is not the most exciting thing to me, I don't 100% understand how it all happens wirelessly, but it has been our mission to rip every CD this weekend. The reason I'm involved in this event is that Howie's CD burner is acting up, not reading every CD. So he brings piles of CD's to me to rip on my laptop. This has seriously cut in to knitting time. It's hard to concentrate when I have to stop and stick another CD in the drive when the last one dings. I volunteered to park my laptop next to his so he could use them both. Multitasking isn't his strong point, so he declined my offer.
So we have three computers going, about 700 or 800 CD's to rip, and we've both been sucked into this project. I have a feeling we won't be going to sleep until the last one is ripped. Good thing we're up to U2 and Lucinda Williams. I think we're almost there!
The only knitting news is that I my knitted rug is blocking, and the heel is successfully turned on jaywalker sock #2.
Updated at 12:10 am, Sunday morning. I'm now on Neil Young, and Howie successfully turned his back on ripping long enough to add my "100 things" in the column to the right. Isn't he the sweetest?
Soon it's off to bed - just 4 CD's left!
