A Later Move Benefits Everything
As of this exact instant in time, I haven’t heard anything about what day the movers are coming to relieve me of my car and most everything else of any entertainment value in my house. This is actually a good thing for me because while I’m on track to get all of my movie ripping done tomorrow night, another night or two of being able to do some TV show action would be nice also. Basically, the reason I care is because whatever I get ripped/converted here will be watchable during the time I’m without my DVDs (so effectively, up until I move into my permanent apartment). I’ve also discovered that I’ll need to rerip a couple DVDs due to annoying subtitle issues, but that’s just something that I’ll need to deal with later.
Today I also went over to Warren’s house (yes, I realize that yesterday I went back to my anonymous people references) in an attempt to move his iTunes library from his desktop to his laptop. Apparently, Apple doesn’t think that’s something people need an easy way to do. My initial solution was to copy all of the songs to my portable hard drive and transfer them that way, but the initial time estimate on that was going to be four hours long. So, the solution I ultimately got working (or at least assume I did since I never got a call from Warren saying it didn’t work) was to share the directory on the desktop and just have him copy everything over on their network. Not the cleanest solution in the world, but it’s at least a solution. Apple, might I just throw a hint your way and suggest you solve this issue by making it “just work”.
