A 10K day...

alexpgpIt's not often I get to lay 10,000 words down on phosphor in one day. Then again, today has not been any kind of normal day.
I'm sending off the translated document in the background while composing this post. I feel pretty good about the work, as I was able to apply a pretty good spit shine to the final product before it went out the door.
In other news, I would really like to be able to play DVDs from other regions on something other than my computer, and of course, this being the season for commercial overkill (in most jurisdictions), some of my thoughts have strayed in the direction of buying a new DVD player.
So far, I've determined that just because a player can deal with NTSC and PAL-formatted disks doesn't mean it can deal with disks from different regions. Apparently, though, there are a load of players out there that, given the right set of pressed buttons on the remote, will allow the user to play DVDs from various regions. I had hoped that the super-cheap player featured at the local Kroger's, manufactured by a certain Coby, would fit the bill, but instead was warned away from buying the unit via a series of not-very-encouraging online reviews.
I need to go to sleep, even though I don't really feel tired. I've not had very much sleep today at all.
Cheers...
