Wasted Continuum

Work was relatively better today. Surprisingly, I did not have a lot of trouble with Internet Explorer while developing my website. Safari was the culprit today. I was getting events misfired at me constantly. If you’re not a programmer, don’t worry about it. It’s probably not that interesting to you. I did however get the portion of the website I wanted to finish today to 95% completion. I decided that was good enough and was able to leave work before midnight, unlike yesterday. I should be able to complete the site by tomorrow if I don’t get distracted. I was interrupted a few time today. We had major issues authoring a Blu-Ray disc that worked with the player we bought. We ended up having to go to Best Buy and purchasing a Blu-Ray/HD DVD combo player and authoring the video onto a HD DVD instead. I’m not sure if Blu-Ray was the format that should of won.

It’s been a well known fact that HD DVD has been on it’s way out since right before CES. Now, Gamerscore Blog has stated that Microsoft will no longer producing their HD DVD player for the 360. This coming after the major movie studios abandoned them. Then retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and NetFlix dropped them. Then, Toshiba, the company associated with HD DVD, announced that they’re discontinuing them. Everyone can safely buy a Blu-ray player now. Right now, the price is too high for me to get one. Currently the best deal for a player is still the PS3. The 20GB version is going for $418 right now. I’m definitely waiting until players are at least under $200. Shouldn’t be too long now.
