the Re-learning curve and Skiffy...

[lizardbeth]

It's been a long time...

I'm trying to convert a dvd file into a watchable avi file. I used to do that more often, making clips and rips and such, but not for awhile. So I clipped out the part I wanted and set it to render. And oops, forgot to compress it. I now have a 12 GB (no typo!) file for only about 7 minutes of video. What's awesome though? It STILL only took about ten minutes to render the whole thing. *jumps up and down, smooches new computer*

I'm sure there are new programs out there for doing these things, even better and faster, which I should go find out about. But for now, I'll stick with what I know. Sort of.

*sigh*

I suffered a bout of insanity and logged in to Skiffy and made a few newbie posts. It cracks me up that my rank is "mansquito"!

It's always so weird to start out on a board, all new and shiny.

A lot of names I recognize, but some I don't. If some of you have different usernames between here and Skiffy, but I know you, please let me know you're the same person! I'd hate to have to HEAD DESK three weeks from now when I finally figure it out on my own...

This is all YOUR FAULT cujoy, just so you know. :)

Good gods woman you're joining the madness? *shudder* Are you going to be popping into the Stargate areas? If so watch out for DebraDwnSth, just trying to give you fair warning, not scare you away. I hang in the Ronon thread a bit but other than that I stay away from there because of her.

Oh and I'm in the same boat as Sbabe and grey. :P

no, probably not. SG area remains too deeply traumatizing for me, I think.

And Yes, I already saw you mentioned on the A-bucs roster, WATER GIRL. I am now Towel Girl, so we can gossip on the sidelines while we wait for Sam to come off court.... :)

Good call there, it's just too insane most of the time.

YAY I have a side-line buddy! I don't get to post in there as often as I would like *kicks RL* but I lurk a lot and drool over the pretty. *g*
