BORING!!!!! Stupid requirements. So I thought I might make a second post today. Something I rarely do. I was chatting on IRC this afternoon and decided that since not too many people know the physical me, just a nick on IRC. This is what I have decided to do. I am going to wear a big sign to the Cleveland show and make a spectical of myself (as always). My goal in doing this is that lots of people will approach me. So please everyone come say "hi" and introduce yourself to me in Cleveland and probably in Bowling Green too.

One of my CDs which I bought used has a few scratches on it, which have absolutely no effect on playback quality on my CD players or CD-ROM at home. At work, it totally confuses the CD-ROM. It interprets the last approx. 2 tracks as being divided into about 6 or 7 tracks, and plays everything in the correct sequence without any breaks until maybe 30 seconds into the last song, where it thinks it's completed the final track, and stops dead.
