Link Me!

I'm back, I've had a fabulous time, and I'm going to be spamming y'all with posts and pictures for a bit. There are going to be three main posts about Italy (unless I run afoul of the size limits), and then tonight or tomorrow I'll be typing up the fannish stuff I was working on during the plane ride - the next fic in the Torchwood/SJA crossovers (Computer Security in the "A Question of Jurisdiction" cycle) and a defense of Sarah Jane titled "You were my life": Neither Retcon nor Romance.

*This* post is to ask you to catch me up with everything online. Anything major happening to you I should know about? Interesting articles or links? Any good fan essays, fanfic, (even wank)? Are there new installments on the Ten Doctors or Torchwood Babiez cartoons? Let me know!

Also, if you know of any good scrapbooking software, please let me know. I refuse to go buy all the papers and stickers and stuff - the last thing this house or my budget needs is the detritus of yet another hobby - but if you know of any good software where I can import my pictures, add some pretty stuff, play with my many fonts, and then print out the resulting page, let me know.

And now I'm off to turn all my Yahoogroups back to "mail" and read the 144 messages lurking on AOL...

PS - can anyone explain why iTunes has about 100 versions of "Old Time Rock & Roll" and NONE of them are Seger's?

PPS - cracktastic Donna Drabbles at Lady Mako's place.

PPPS - very darling dancing David Tennant vid on YouTube

I have a large collection of filk cassettes that I'm slowly recording using a portable cassette player and one of my computer inputs. The records (some of which may never show up elsewhere) are slowly being recorded to cd on my stereo system and then ripped to the computer.

Hee hee. I own very few cassettes. I went from owning records right into CDs (my parents are early adopters of technology: I own The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy miniseries on VHS tape, laserdisk, and DVD).

Ever since I started collecting a cappella albums in the early 90s, groups have distributed their work on CD, even the stuff recorded live.

I never really got into cassettes either except homemade ones and the filk cassettes which weren't available in other formats for the longest time. I still have a nice selection of records which I never bothered to replace on CD or which weren't available.

I could afford cassettes when I couldn't afford vinyl, and they were easier to transport.

CDs would not be invented for quite some time yet...

I can't decide if I want to get the technology to rip to CD and import into iTunes that way, or the technology to import straight to iTunes and then burn CDs from it.

The rip to CD is round about, but it does mean I have a backup copy.
