This time last year, I am still pretty stay at home surfing the net, and I got a dvd burner just about a month earlier.  And about a month later, I remember an unrelated event happen that I lost 4 days of sleep straight.  It could have been avoided but its unfortunate it has lead to that.  Not only that, I also make myself look bad that time too.
This year, still stay at home, and I learned sometimes new like my dvd burner.  I just bought a 3 pack DVD + DL few days go and has yet to burn anything yet.  Also, just two days ago, I learned to use some software to convert my dvd video into AVI file and encode it as WMV-9 (VC-1).
