The day started at pretty well precisely 9:30am when I awoke. The good night’s sleep had recharged my batteries and I was ready to face the world again.<\/p>\n
After checking prices on-line for CDs in jewel cases in all the possible local(ish) shops we all drove to the big Tesco over at Pool near Redruth. I managed to pick up a set of 10 CD-Rs on a spindle and a pack of cases for less combined than the prepackaged versions. A bit annoying. Still, it allowed me to start burning this afternoon.<\/p>\n
I decided to have a minor detour on the way home so drove back via Cambourne and Praze-an-Beeble. I also dropped in on Kuggar Stoves in Helston so my Dad could get more details on a fire for the living room.<\/p>\n
After leaving there I thought I’d try to find the St.Johns Business Park as I was curious as to where the not too brilliant pasties from the national franchise of pasty shops, “West Cornwall Pasty Co.” , were made. Well, I didn’t find it, though I did drive all the way down to Porthleven.<\/p>\n
After lunch I finally burnt War of the Worlds and ABBA’s album “The Singles: The First Ten Years” (quite ironic as it was their only 10 years) to CD so I can listen to them seeing as I don’t have a turntable at home.<\/p>\n
I also experimented with photographing the album covers in preparation for creating the CD covers..<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I thing I’ll transfer a couple more albums I only have on LP such as Jean-Michael Jarre’s Zoolook, the original Star Wars soundtrack, Vangelis’ Heaven and Hell and probably a couple of classical music albums.<\/p>\n
Some people in the music publishing industry would consider what I’m doing piracy. I say to them, why should I buy the music twice if I can guarantee that only one copy will be listened to at any one time and only by the original purchaser?<\/p>\n
I also played Doom 3 for about half an hour. I’ve now got to a boring boss, the soul cube keeper. Somehow I thing I might be left at this point in the game for some time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
