(This was originally written a few years ago, but I’m modifying re-posting it from my old website)

Emails are like old fashioned love letters. They are written on parchment using a quill, sprayed with perfume and sealed with wax. They are hand-delivered on horseback. They are read and perhaps re-read. They are replied-to and cited.

But they are private.

I have a particular set of skills.

Ok, talents. I can find things. It’s part of a set of talents, some of which I’ve developed into a keen, somewhat chipped but nonetheless sharp edge.

I’ve posted on this somewhere before, but.. uh.. apparently I’m some sort of hypocrite and don’t research through my own content the way I do for other stuff. I guess I don’t like me enough.

This is not quite a live projects — there’s lots to learn!

This is primarily for movie-DVDs, with instructions for Linux. Another topic covers ripping audio.

Use cases:

Backup discs you own, before disc rot sets in.
Rip discs and keep them safe
- e.g. parents with little kids (or drunken friends) who damage discs.
Playing on DVD-driveless devices
- (or devices where the DVD player has stopped working)
- Such as a phone or portable media player.
  – e.g. a portable player for road trips.

Old notes on han

As of around 2015-05-26 I’ve switched to Pale Moon. I’ll revisit this if I need to configure Pale Moon similarly.

Thoughts – 2011-06-10

I was in one of my moods, so I’m sure that didn’t help. She didn’t react favourably – probably because she was in one of her moods, and she dropped the ban hammer. But since I’m anti-deletionist I kept everything.

I could get into things, and give my thoughts, but the point of this is to be anti-deletionist and nothing more.

What follows are my comments. Originally posted on a blog but not allowed to be published. I saved them and am posting them here, without context. I think they stand alone fairly well.
