Let's see, I stayed up to a little after 0200 hrs this morning tweaking the freeware audio grabber I downloaded the other day (Exact Audio Copy), setting all the various parms & determining the read & write offsets, etc. Then it was off to the cube farm for another exciting day as a software engineer for the world's premier card company - American Express! (Wearing my State of Arizona tartan & Clan Donnachaidh shirt.) Seeing as it's the end of the workweek, my night owl ways had me too tired to bicycle to work so I made my unnecessary contribution today to global warming. Too bad, too, because with the "cold" spell we've had for the last couple of days, today will probably be the last day until October where our high temp will only be in the double-digits. At lunchtime, I walked over to Starbucks & picked up the new Paul McCartney album (how times have changed) & then walked down to Office Max & got a couple of spindles of 100 CD-Rs. Tonight, I'll start using my new audio grabber along with my .FLAC Frontend audio compressor utility to start archiving the 7,000+ CDs in my music library, as well as finish putting away the remainder of the couple thousand CDs I took to my last DJ gig. Tomorrow I'll give blood (double-dose) & go to our local Kilt Night & help Ayin McFye celebrate his birthday (& anesthetize his tooth-ache).

Life is better kilted!
