So little, so late

January 6th, 2008 by Mark

Nathalie was watching a rerun of a film on television. I felt like watching something else. So I booted the PC, put a regular commercial DVD in the drive… and then spent 90 minutes finding how to play regular commercial (encrypted) DVDs on Ubuntu 7.10. (Thanks, Stone.)

I have only been a manager for a few months. Already, spending the entire amount of time I allotted to watching a film figuring out how to play the DVD no longer seems fun.

If I had more money, I would buy a computer for people who no longer like fiddling with computers.
