And the dwarves were given the task of digging the ditch.

Today I got an Ixus i in the post. Just a camera and belt case, I'll need at least a charger and USB cable before I can sell it. And in the meantime it's mine to play with. Damn, this thing is tiny. Here it is next to my Ixus 50 and the Ixus 400 I just sold:

The 400 went for £90, which isn't bad. I need to work out how to publicise better. Must put more stuff up — I have an EX-S1, EX-S2 and two 430s here ready to eBay.

I now have root on reddragdiva.co.uk's server; what I don't have is any way to remotely restart it. Gah! The site's been set up on the non-deprecated server, now I just need to get the data onto it from the old site (learning at the deep end how to back up and restore Coppermine) and repoint the DNS.

One day I will have something to post about other than cameras and photos. Not soon. Oh, redcountess just watched the last episode of The West Wing and is already desperately after the DVDs. And arkady has just brought her laptop to life with one of the formerly-thought-dead DeathStars and is downloading the Dodgy Duck as I write this.

I'll see what I can do. I still have a DVD player to send you ... Want me to screen this? Email me ;-)

Are you coming to Antilight this week? It's free before 11 as it's in conjunction with Kryptorium so despite my WGT expenses, I'm planning on making it.

[reddragdiva]

Oh buggering crikey, is it this week? Aieee, it is! Um, yes. Arkady has just said she is flatly determined to make Antilight, and I want to see Swarf at Slimelight but that's really early. So HELL YEAH. As far as I know. With cl*ves.

Excellent. It's been ages since I've seen you both.

The West Wing and is already desperately after the DVDs

The entire series is a 52.5GB torrent -- six seasons of DVDRips and season 7 of HDTVrips.

Surely this can't even be worth 20 pounds worth of DVDR to save to disk, much less buy on DVD.

[reddragdiva]

She has most of the other series on DVD. The great advantage of actual DVDs over HDTV rips (apart from paid copies encouraging more such television and so forth) is chapters, scenes and so forth. And sound that is synchronised with the picture.

You're such a prude when it comes to copyright infringement.

C'mon David, all the cool kids are doing it....

No rips with crap sound would last on a decent tracker without getting nuked.

And DVD have things like startup screens, and ads(!), that you can't fast forward past.

It's TV -- it should be free as air...

... Now they bring me my air in an iron tank.
