Filing - Done, enough

Well we finally decided to purchase some off the shelf software for the catalogue of DVD's and I think this has been money well spent. This software allows you to enter the barcode of the DVD, off the packet and is searches it's DB to see if it is already there. If it is, it downloads all the information bout the movie (actors, crew, dates, packaging, regions etc) and WOW the DVD is added. If the barcode isn't there, which to be honest happens a bit, and you know, we live in Australia, and there just arn;t that many people here, you can type in the title. It then searches every instance of that title in it's DB and you can pick the entry closest to your (ie cover packaging) and change any details that differ, in most cases, simple the region! Very smart!

So as I said, done-ish, there are a few really odd ball DVD's that Neil has that I would have to enter from scratch, so I have decided to delegate these to Neil, after all, they are his, and call this task done! Now all we have to do is stop buying more! RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

thinking

Hmmmmm Maybe I need to sort of combine these two tasks. I have been looking at my list of movies and trying to decide if it is meant to me a 'list of all time movies Louise likes' of more of a 'list of movies Louise is yet to acquire' If I combined them both, with my list of movies I already have, maybe this would work?
So then the question remains of how? Do I

• preserve with the list at the bottom of the blog
  
• find a web site that lets you catalog this sort of shit, cos I'm sure there is one
  
• make a spiffy access DB (yes, super nerd speaking!)
  
• get me self a note book and make scrappy illegible notes in it, but at least I can carry it around with me

Decisions decisions!!!
(OK you can vote now!)

Stuff

Recently, we have had cause to discover just how much stuff we have. It is even more stuff than I thought when I invented these tasks. Anyway hopefully these tasks will help us live in a more tidy ordered world, and may be even chuck some stuff out. I am very jealous of the people who can just chuck stuff.
