We went and saw the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall today. It was very nice, a classic, a ton of fun for all ages. We had a great time, got home around 10 pm, watched a bit of tv and ate TG leftovers.
I have installed a new logitech pro 9000 camera on my desktop. Seems to work OK so far, very good automated light adjustments.
Have been running Handbrake on my server all night to re-compress the first 9 episodes of The Event, a new show from this season. It's supposed to be good. Want to get them all in an iPad-friendly format. Video compression is a very processor-intensive task, the E6500 overclocked at 3.66 GHz (original speed 2.93 GHz) gets quite hot in the process. Monitoring the core temperature it goes from 40 C while idle to 83-84 C after compressing for an hour. I think it's still OK, Intel's CPU have a built-in thermal limiter that should kick in if thinks it's too much, and throttle the speed down.
