Encoding

Misc.
Right now I'm encoding video and a DVD for my Aunt
Linda and her husband. I've been tinkering with it
for a few hours now getting the menu and settings
right while keeping it (I hope) from looking bad.
I'm on my 3rd test burn to see if it will work. The
first time I encoded everything at 16:9 but that
all got cut off on the TV / DVD Player even with
the TV set to 16:9. I've changed it all to 4:3
(standard ratio for TV's) and I'm hoping that it
will work. Right now my father is helping me modify
my resume to look a little better and sound more
formal for when I arrive in London.
I have yet to establish a place to live in London. I leave on the 17th at 6:50 am local time and arrive at 7:25 am (local time). I'm flying into London Gatwick Airport where I am going to try to catch a train into town to establish myself somewhere with an internet connetion. From there I'll be able to make phone calls, do some research, and hopefully find a place to live. Who knows, perhaps I'll even find myself a job in the process.
I've not really heard from anyone at home with the exception of a few people. I've not heard a peep from anyone I used to work with, etc. I'm sure that they're all busy with the re-model but still. It's a little sad but I'm over it. Mostly I'm honestly a little scared about this move. I can't take everything I brought to Germany so I get to consolidate all of the stuff that I brought into a backpack and a suitcase. I've finished a new copy of my CV/Resume' to bring along as well. I'm hoping to get to Saturn in downtown Hamburg tomorrow to get online and upload this, check my e-mail, and make a few phone calls.
I'm off for now. Have a good day.

[What I've been playing]
Half-Life 2 Episode 2 (Beaten) - I can't wait to see what happens in Episode 3.
Portal (Beaten) - It was pretty good. I only wish it was longer.
Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo (Not online sadly) - I've been waiting so long for this one...
Call of Duty 4 Demo (PC-Beaten as it's short) - Great game
