Alternate Title: The Whiney Baby Post, Part Deux
For crying out loud, when will it end?
First there was the mp3 vs iPod research (I opted for mp3.)
Then I had to learn how to use it.
Then I had to figure out how to properly set up my new GetSheila domain name.
Then I had to decide on a software for editing my mp3 audio recordings, followed by the agonizing process of learning how to use the software (Audacity) yet never getting to the part where I actually edit any of my recordings.
Then I discovered I cannot edit my Tivo video recordings due to licensing issues so my plan to create video clips of Patricia Arquette's talk show appearances for Medium Dreams is shot all to hell. (So all of that research and troubleshooting time is down the toilet.)
And now, although it is a good thing because it may result in my getting my hands on perfectly legal Medium video clips at some future point, I have to learn another new software (Azureus) for managing Bittorrent (a file sharing protocol.)
It involves "leeching" and "snatching" and "seeding" and frankly the whole thing makes me nauseous so I think I will put it off until this weekend. Because we all know I have no life so I will have two full days to devote to finding out if I am a "leech" and whether or not that is desirable.
And then I am not learning anything new for at least a week.
Dammit.
