I went ahead and got Prowl to use with Growl to use with Handbrake so I would know when a movie is done transcoding. Took me a while to figure out that I needed to set a preference in Handbrake to send a Growl notification when encoding was done. Whoops. Just means I'll be more efficient with my transcoding sessions, especially on the weekends. I also tried using the Hardware Growler app on the Mac mini but it was sending out repeated Ethernet connect/disconnect growls, which was annoying. So no longer using that, and I don't really need to know anything hardware related on that machine anyway. But makes me wonder if something's wrong with the Mac mini. Still works though. Also computer related, the Airport Expresses are stable now, but the rest of the network seems much slower now, both the 802.11n for the laptops and the 802.11b/g for the iPhones. Annoying. Maybe I should look into that powerline networking again, instead of using WDS. Just add it to my list. More PT today. Good workout. Weather's much cooler. I'm definitely known as the biker in the office, as I keep getting asked why I'm not biking when I'm on the elevator leaving for the day. I think that's a good thing. Tracy made dinner, some pork and potatoes and Swiss chard. Cousin-in-laws Arnold and Marylou and Bianca dropped by to say goodbye as well. Looking forward to not playing Ultimate tomorrow. Headed out to Homer Glen though. Oh, also tried a new cupcake place downtown, The Cupcake Counter. Not bad. Just opened yesterday, so have to try it out a couple more times as they figure stuff out.
