We should be Netflix friends

Netflix Why aren't we netflix friends? Probably because I haven't asked. You can find me on netflix, I'm flicman. Duh. No one has recently accused me of being creative. You can also click here. That'll find me automatically. I only ever have a few movies in my queue at once, which is also stupid, but Ket's tweet this morning made me read a cool article and then update my queue, noting as I did so that I should probably have Netflix friends.

That's all for now.

I like WinDirStat

WinDirStat. It's an old program, but it works fine on Win7, and it gives a simple, boxy view of your HDD usage. I've been turning to it for a long time to help me understand my biggest offenders in the HDD-size wars. I've never really been a guy who just adds more storage as I fill mine up, probably because by the time I fill my workstation HDD with stuff, it's time to get a new computer. It definitely helps that I have like 2ish TB in my WHS in the closet, although that's really only doing a few hundred GB of music and movies at the moment, but that's okay.

If I start doing more video editing eventually, that'll take up some space (as the new HDD rips for Choice Investigations take up like 21GB), but even that will likely be just SD video most of the time. I do want to shoot a Sizzle Reel for a reality project, but I'll need a camera for a week and quite a few interviews to make that happen. And I know me....
Moral of the story: I'll probably be a long time filling up the 600GB I have available to me at the moment. The computer will likely be irrelevant before it's time to add more storage.

Anyway, happy Tuesday.

Welcome to the new site!

baby site Hey! You're here!

If you had a login, you should still be able to use it. Everything went smoothly on the changeover, and I'm happy with my current look, but I'm not absolutely 100% sure that there aren't going to be bugs. Check everything out - give the site a once-over. Tell me what you like and don't like about what you see, and by all means please IM me or call me or email me if you run across something that doesn't work.

Comments from stories didn't translate, but everything else is here, I think. I actually have added more content to the site that I'll be featuring starting this week. Be ready.

Tip: Browse Logged In.
Everything is available to you if you do. I'm happy as someone that's very happy about something to serve stuff to total strangers, but I'm restricting photos and other stuff to people who care enough to register and log in. It's the most base form of security and it's a holdover from the last version of the site.
