Gah! Things! So many things!

Okay, so.

Thing Number 1.
Broke my iPod Classic's harddrive. This current incarnation of the iPod Classic has survived two years at my tender mercies, including the time I dropped it in the toilet, and also onto the concrete pool deck. And then it bought the farm one night while I was charging it, COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ( Read more... )

I couldn't believe it survived then, either! But I just dried it off, and kept it plugged into the wall charger for a billion hours, and then voila! It worked.

But, yeah - the classic's my favorite. It's got enough view screen for me, and a perfectly adequate game of solitaire, and approximately three times the harddrive space of my laptop. So, awesome. ;-D

Podfic Math is intimidating - I have a sort of sliding scale of rounding up or down on seconds, but I am keeping track of the minutes. It's all going to add up to a seriously big number, I think. (And, the previous owner said that sometimes, "the basement gets damp". Hmmmm, does that count?)

How did your iPod survive FALLING INTO A TOILET? XDDD

My dear, one never picks up too many fandoms. They just keep on a'comin, whether you're ready for them or not :P Also, good luck going back to school! What are you studying?

I love luzula's wonderful recordings <3 She's one of the, if not the first voice I heard when I started listening and I still think of her as something of a podfic foundation. (I should probably tell her these things at the podfic love meme I keep meaning to host. I've made graphics and everything!)

You might try multilingual for help with Welsh.

Forvo is often god-like. Words pronounced by people in their own language/accent all over the world. It has this to say: http://www.forvo.com/search/Myfanwy/ :D

... Pocket Watch Boy is something like SEVEN hours long. And you're saying I'll be having two versions of it? GLEE!

It's not seven, it's like, three and a half. And, while I'm not entirely sure I'll have the whole thing finished before the end of multipodicity, paraka gave me free reign to run with it - so, even if I miss the deadline on PWB, I'll still get to keep going ;-)

(Plus, PWB was the very first podfic I ever listened to. So, it seems kinda karmic that I get to make my own version of it, y'know?

I think it's the first Torchwood podfic I listened to, and it was the longest podfic that I'd listened to up till then, so it seems much longer than it was. And it's totally awesome; you should absolutely make your own version of it!
