Had a crappy day yesterday. I'll spare you the details and tell you I was sick. Spent most of the day reading in bed.

Today, I seem to be mostly just tired. Not really feeling very social.

Tomorrow, I fly out with Mom and my nephew for a few days. He's a little guy, but he keeps things busy.

So... may not be around much.

Meantime... yes, the watch is very cool. Not everything I'd hoped, but still very cool. And I loaded it with a couple eps of Batman:TAS. Had to use three different programs to make it work (one to copy the right files off the DVD, one to convert them into normal video format, and a third to convert them into the watch's format), but it does seem to have worked.

And yes, we get mail on Saturdays.

Also, this comic has the best (okay... only) take I've seen so far on the new MacBook Air.

I hope you feel better! :) And that your trip is a good one, too!

Yay for TAS!! :D I've watched a few more eps and I'm totally loving it. What format files does your watch require, btw? Maybe I could help find a better solution to your transcoding woes... I've had to evaluate a few apps for that exact purpose at work not long ago, in fact. :)

Good find on that cartoon. :) Very amusing. Kinda screams fanfic to me, that thing. LOL

Thanks. I'm here, anyway. Now I just have to catch up on sleep before we need to wake up for the plane home...

TAS is awesome. I keep saying it, but it bears repeating. Though I expect you're coming up to some of the more mediocre eps, like the Clock King. But you've seen POV. And you've got the truly awesome ones (like the ones with no supervillains) still to come.

BTW, I've got an extra set of DVDs. See, when it first came out, they released one DVD at a time. They did that with the first two DVDs' worth, anyway. And then they packaged them into box sets. So if you wanted disks 3 and 4, you had to buy 1 and 2, even if you'd been one of the people who'd rushed to buy 1 and 2, thus proving that the others had enough marketability to be worth releasing.

So that leaves me with extra copies of the first dozen or so eps. (With commentary tracks on some of them.) Any idea what I could do with them?

As for the watch, it requires NX AVI. Some specialized sub-format of AVI. Which seems to make bigger files than it needs to, especially since I'm saving at 160x128 resolution. In any case, it makes me think of Enterprise, since the ship on the show was NX class and had serial number NX-01. (Not that I managed to watch more than a season or so of Enterprise before giving up hope that it'd actually manage to be good.)

Hey, spiffy! Of course, what *I* usually need in a computer is something that can fall down 3 flights of stairs, be stepped on by a 100 lb clutz, and still work. *g*

Hope you feel better soon. :) **HUGS**

Ah, yes. I think for that you're best off sticking with the "competition" mentioned in the comic. Processing power may be limited. It may not have a media drive or be able to handle most video games, but it is highly durable. One might almost say klutz-proof, if one were so stupid as to tempt fate like that.
