Okay I was talking to a co-worker's wife at a dinner party on St. Patrick's day.  She was telling me of this really cool program her husband bought her for Christmas that cataloged all their DVDs and Books and Comics... Okay now this could be worth while... I have to sit there and type in all the data for Microsoft Works database and it isn't fun trying to read the fine print... 

So, Monday I went into work and emailed her husband.  "Your wife said you got her this great program where did you find it?"

www.collectorz.com was the response

So, naturally I went to the site and ordered the book collector/music collector/movie collector/photo collector and the barcode scanner... Yes that's right barcode scanner.... 

It came in today.  After I found a Serial Port to USB adaptor and activated my little handy dandy scanner I started scanning in my DVDs.  Some didn't scan... no big you type the title and it searches upto 13 different online data bases and automatically downloads all the information including the front and back covers of the DVDs.... 

HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

I'm soo jazzed about it... I can't wait to get started on the books.  I've got the database searching while I type this.  So this is a program you can MUTLI-TASK with... Don't we all need that these days!

Other than that the weekend is going relatively quiet.  I got additions to the Baronial OP made up to the completion of Gulf Wars.   I'll get the RTF version up on the Bright Hills File server as soon as I finish making it all pretty... for some reason it never exports from Excel all nice and pretty :(.  But, I've got the Excel file organized including a sortable by award, rank, name, etc. as well as a LOP which is helpful... this one is also updated to Gulf Wars.  

Other than that I'm gearing up for the onslaught of Events starting in May.  Found out another Co-worker is a transplant from Windmaster's Hill and his wife is from Caid... both are now Bright Hills and have been added to the Baronial OP of Doom :D...  SUCH a small world!  I'm going to get Vittoria back out since she wants come back out.  She's not sure if she wants to fight again but she does want to come back out and play.
