DVR

The DVR came today...so sweet. It has the dual tuner, and you can watch a 3rd program while recording two others. I set up a bunch of records already for tonight...plus, it has the series feature where it records a particular series you choose (Touching Evil on USA I picked for one of them) and it records it everytime it airs. The remote is bigger and not as user-friendly, and the software is much slower when turning the channels or going thru menus...and you can't go thru the channels without being in guide mode like you can with the regular cable box, but all-in-all it's pretty cool. So much easier to have this and be able to tape programs on different channels when I'm not home...that wasn't possible before, because I have the cable box, and you can't set a VCR timer but for the one channel you leave it on when you leave the house.

I ate a bit ago, and I sat down and noticed Trust episodes 1 and 2 air tonight on BBC America. I have them set up to record...very nice since there are only 6 episodes in total, and all I had on tape before was 4, 5, and 6. Now, after tonight, I'll just need to get episode 3 if they air it, and I will have the entire show.

I need to mess with moviemaker and see what I can do with it, just for the heck of it. I also need to work with paintshop pro some more because I have it now, and I want to figure out some things on it that I never figured out before.

Well, I guess I'm gonna get off of here and go into the other room and sit down for a bit. Fun stuff.
