Christmas Vacation Time (and Boobs on Ice)

Yesterday I started my Christmas vacation time.  I will be out of the office for 18 days, which is, I believe, the most time I have ever taken off (except for cancer surgery and recovery).  My family started arriving last night and some will arrive today and tomorrow.  Great times.

I hope each of you will experience the love of friends and family this holiday season.

I was reading Cliff Ravenscraft’s Podcast Answerman’s RSS feed today (http://cliffravenscraft.com/043-podcast-answer-man-new-media-peas-and-boobs-on-ice/) and he was discussing Susan Reynold’s recent discovery of breast cancer, and the online community support for her.  It is a great story.  She is having her surgery today.  Prayers.

I finally got Pro Tools LE to install correctly on my AMD Vista workstation.  I downgraded to Vista Business and installed Pro Tools before installing any patches.  That seemed to work.  I also installed Beyond TV and got it working.  The only reason I would consider going back to Vista Ultimate would be to snag the DVD codecs so Media Player would handle DVDs.  I am using Roxio’s CinePlayer, but it is not as refined as Media Player.  I would use Media Center, except that it won’t let me save recordings for use on my iPod or laptop due to DRM issues.

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday.

Have Fun!
