In other news, I've undertaken a MONSTROUS task...some of you may remember hearing about a database that I kept for a while of all the music I had on the computer. Well, I've started it up again, only this time, it's much larger. Not only do I have MY music to contend with (all 900 or so songs...), but I know have BJ's collection to add to it. We have a shared external hard drive for random files that we don't need cluttering up the respective computers, so I'm in the process of renaming ALL the music files we have, organizing them into folders according to the standards I've always used, then entering that data in Microsoft Access (a wonderful program, by the way) and making it searchable so we know what we do and don't have.
See, BJ has a channel on BlogTV, and he broadcasts every so often. It's basically just a live chat, where he's on webcam and mic, and people come into the room to talk about whatever. There's also a cohost option, so the room guests can see the host and the cohost (if any) live on cam while everyone chats. Another fun thing that can be done on there is playing music. The guests/chatters can listen to the host and cohost talk, chat with the other room participants and listen to music while they do all that. We're getting it set up so that BJ can more effectively broadcast music on his channel, and I've volunteered my services as the DJ. In order to do that, I'd like to have an accurate record of what music we have or don't have, to make it easier on me to find and play the requested music. This gives me something to fill my time until I start working, and something fun to do in my down time (and yes, for those of you who are wondering - building this database is actually FUN for me...I'm a dork, sue me!).
Well, that's enough for now, I suppose. I'm still working on getting my photo album operational. I'll post a link once I get it set up the way I like it, so everyone can see what I do with my spare time and a camera. Kati + Camera = Mass Quantities of Happy! Until then, I'm off to get some sleep!
Night, everyone!
