Pizza and fun  
Got together with some friends from college last night. Six adults, eleven kids, and a great time. The kids played well, which gave the adults time to catch up. Mostly we complained about the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It is so hard to get together with all our friends on a semi-regular basis, and it is too bad.

I also managed to make two coasters with my new DVR. From here on out I clean the heads *before* trying to format any disks. Lesson learned. Otherwise, it is working nicely.

erm? What happened to the DVR o.O?

I have no idea. It toasted two DVD +R before I decided to try the head cleaning. It's doing fine now; apparently it needs its head cleaned every once and a while. If only it were so easy for humans.

assuming that was you, solstice...

Is this a DVD+R drive or a DVR player?

That was me. I have to lock out anonymous users. There must be a setting for that.

It is a DVD player/recorder. Works pretty well so far. I'm guessing that there was something on the head due to shipping/manufacture. I can't say that we live in a pristine environment here. It could have been dog hair. Now I know. It hasn't made any coasters since. We have had a DVD burner on our computer for a very long time, and I know they can be a bit testy. We now know which brands to stick with, so I know the DVDs were high enough quality.

Live and learn (or is it live and get old?).
