I learned to rip mp3's using windows media player. I just needed to change my export format in windows media player. I got mp3 files for Woody Guthrie and Bruce Cockburn. I can play these on my new PSP. I also got a Pelican carrying case for my PSP. I can't play my iTunes yet on my PSP. The PSP screen really is very good and I have been watching the demo movie Spiderman 2.

I have installed the latest Apple security update on my eMac. I tried to install solaris 8 on my duron but the video card was not supported. I have installed scientific word and scientific notebook as demo copies. I have also purchased Notron Internet security 2005. I have downloaded Windows 2000 and Map Point 2004 from the msdn server. I will burn the mapping software today to disk. As a math student at Carleton we are given free copies of microsoft software.

I hot synced my palm late last night. I uploaded some pdf files about computer crime and also about using Perl for statistics to my palm.

I downloaded sceintifc notebook and scientific workplace as trial copies.

I updated my studies blog and burned a back up CD. I also transfered homework to my memory key so I can work on it at school. I printed lecture notes and meeting previous minutes for two meetings I have today as a volunteer.

I know a little bit more about using R now. I got some homework done in data mining using R. I also taught SAS coding this week just past. I also bought a second copy of the Little SAS book at a medical bookstore.

I printed out back up copies of my blogs. I should now be doing a back up of the data on my hard drives with CD's. I have been thinking of buying a DVD burner but find I need firewire or at least USB 2.0 to use a DVD burner. Just like CD burners more power is needed to get them to work properly.
