No! Your 23 year old son that moved back home doesn't get to be a "Production Baby" in the credits.

Played about an hour of the WoW: Forever beta. I'm done until it's released so it can all be new. I also suspect a lot of stuff will get nurfed and I can't be angry about it if I never new what it used to be like.

I just wrote some really shitty code, I'm afraid it will be mistaken for AI.

Mental cycle of designing a game: "Optimism -> Fear -> Hope -> Fear -> Praying -> Hope -> Optimism -> We're geniuses! Ship it."

Solved it, there is a brew package that will copy encrypted dvd's to the hd.

Just to be clear, I can rip them, I just can't copy the to the hd and rip from there.

My ripping strategy was slightly foiled. Seems the dvd's I've been ripping don't have encryption so I can copy them to the hd, but this next set does so I can't do that. I can still do hands-off end-to-end, but the ripping has to be from the dvd and it's a lot slower.

Finished ripping Voyager. Handbrake has a cli interface, so I wrote a .sh script that copies the dvd to the hd and then rips it from there. Copying the dvd to the hd is a lot more fault tolerant. Now I can rip a cd completely hands-off. Takes about 20 minutes end-to-end. The only step I have to do by hand is naming the episodes. That's my next task. Then I just need a robot arm (preferably made out of lego) to put the dvd's in for me.

New blog post. It must be your birthday.
