Now the CD player doesn't turn on. AudioCatalyst has decided it will only rip cd's analog, and Winamp has decided that it won't play mp3s generated in such a fashion.

On the positive side, there is a smallish rental vehicle in my driveway, a red Pontaic something-or-other. Also, mechanchaos bought a new cordless phone / answering machine. He set it up late in the evening, after we opened two each of our larger xmas presents for one another so that we would have enough room for luggage, gifts, and three passengers in the car. I'm so much more used to a station wagon...

Then, this morning, before we'd had a chance to place a single call on the new phone, we found that the cats had chewed through it's power cord. mechanchaos spliced it right away, but DAMN, when will the meyham and destruction end!?!

Another goodness is a Zafu, which in addition to being an excellent cushion for meditation can double as an adapter to make the chair at out computer much more back-friendly.

HARK! I hear a need for.... SOFTWARE SKILLZ! Which I have. I've got a CD ripper that works WONDERFULLY. And it's CRACKED. Kind of like me. :D~~

I used to put points into software skillz. That was before I selected the character class "Dilligent Student". Now I have to rely on other friends or members of my party who can assist me with such things. mechanchaos has mentioned similar things, though in his case it's finding a new one online.

Then again, I'm utterly insane. Despite my troubleshooting (both ends of the power cord, checking the length for cat teeth marks, and adjusting both outlet and power switches) the other day that diagnosed the thing as dead, it is now up and running again. ***shrugs*** Perhaps the Week of Stress made me overlook something.

Thanks again for your help in saving enough of my sanity to complete my calculus exam!

Let me know what you all need, and I shall bring it unto thine home so that thou mayest bask in the datastream.

At least from my direction, I'm interested in a cd-to-mp3 ripping program. You're welcome here anytime we're in.

Okay I got that covered all in one program, no problem.
