Pretty much done ripping all the blu-rays that I have now, they look pretty good on the appletv, too. Ripping a few more dvds that I found, still building up my collection. Starting to look pretty good, definitely time for me to start acquiring movies en masse again now that I can store them in a more permanent manner without having to leave them out.

Also, I was hoping to get the shelving up in the office this weekend, but I did not. Instead, we mounted a new door to the upstairs bedroom over the garage which goes to a deck that doesn’t exist right now, but will hopefully by summer. We did end up getting all the shelving cut (but not fitted yet) so at least 50% of the work on the shelves is done… I did arrange the office somewhat this weekend however, so it wasn’t a total wash finishing up the office…

Saw my friend Ben last night which was pretty cool – he lives up near New Hampshire so it was quite a trek for him to make it down to the house yesterday. We talked about projects and future projects and various things that have definitely got my brain spinning – I think there may be some free software coming out of some talking we had. Starting to get the itch to do a new project software-wise, so that’s probably good for everybody

In other news – I’m going to be out of town in Pittsburgh next weekend / early next week during YAPC so I will probably not do much on the house for another week or two, since I have to go to Long Island the following weekend.
