I spent yesterday digitizing albums and collecting the music I had already done from the three laptops I’ve got. At one point, I had all four of my macs, including my 12-inch iBook, running. I used Final Vinyl to divide them into tracks and today I’ll import them into iTunes and add the information.
I’m also going to experiment with The Analogue Ripper to see how it works. I installed Final Vinyl on my desktop but it only works if I have my iMic in the USB port. It does do a decent job of dividing the songs and naming them in sequence.
Right now, I’m listening to Nick Drake. Seems like the perfect calm music for a Sunday morning. Not so calm, however, since the squirrel discovered the blue feeder that Bob hung up yesterday and is noisily sucking down the bird food. He only moves away a foot or so when I tap on the window. An afternoon and a few peanuts and I could have them trained.
Heard back from my advisor about revising my proposal: mostly just a few methods pieces have to be done before IRB approval. That’s good news since I’d like to submit all that first thing next week. I’m using Thursday as my deadline to send the draft back to her.
I’m still giving myself the day off today…maybe we can go to the property, or wait until tomorrow afternoon when it is going to be 70 degrees! Or, go both days. After all, I am on vacation.
All the snowmen and leftover Christmas regalia is up in the attic for another year. By the time I put it out this year, I should be done with my degree. Then, what? Who knows? But I want it to look a lot like it looks now. Working for a few clients both on the road and at home.
So, just ten minutes until Tim Russert and Meet the Press. I just checked and it’s a press round table today with Matlin, Carville, Shrum, and Murphy. Should be lively and fun. I really can’t seem to get enough of this year’s election process. I actually made a difference with my vote in Virginia this year.
