the darkerside to rants

Earlier today the nice man from Shaw came by and hooked up my phone. This is the first time I have a landline in six years. Unlike my last one though this is not a POTS but VOIP based system. Works over my cable hookup.

The cool thing about it? I pay $55/month and for this I get unlimited calling in the US and Canada and a 1000 minutes to most of Europe and some other countries. Can’t beat that.

This “little” box is that makes it all possible. How far we have come. The really great thing about it is that voice quality is excellent, even when hammering the Cable Modem connection with Torrents

And now iDVD managed to piss me off to. Worked all fine until it started encoding the Audio –> Crash.

Damn, not my day.

Somehow iMovie is pissing me off. I tried to send a project to iDVD and it just hangs iMovie <sigh>

On the plus side I was able to build it by manually loading the iMovie project into iDVD, but still….

Quad shot of Espresso… I am buzzing, something I really need considering the amount of stress I have recently.
