The holiday weekend was a pretty quiet one for me. Besides working on XFN Graph, it was pretty much a weekend of TV and movies. The TV watching was improved greatly thanks to XFN Graph, it was pretty much a weekend of TV and movies. The TV watching was improved greatly thanks to MythTV (see previous post). The movie watching was very entertaining. I managed to watch two classics that I’ve meant to for quite some some: previous post). The movie watching was very entertaining. I managed to watch two classics that I’ve meant to for quite some some: Scent of a Woman, and Rain Man. Rain Man I picked up at Future Shop for only $9.99 (which I thought was a great price for a ‘Best Picture’ winner), and Scent of a Woman was on A&E last weekend and recorded.

I’ve also been spending some time judging student-created websites for the IEEE. So far everything I’ve seen is pretty good, and unless one of the pages I haven’t seen yet pulls ahead, it’s going to be a pretty close call.

As a side-note, I started looking at Tellico today to manage my DVD collection (thanks to an article in the current issue of Linux Journal). It seems like a good product, but I think I’d like to see :CueCat support so I could scan the barcodes instead of typing. (Yes, I managed to get one of those little devices back when they were available and free) It has the option to export to HTML, XML, CSV, and even PilotDB. I think it should be a good way to keep track of my movies, and hopefully my games as well.
