DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

I can't stand Norton. Even if it were free I would never install it. Its worse than having a virus IMHO

I agree! I make sure I dump every last vestige of Norton when I get a machine.

I'm using paid AVG now. It's not perfect, but SOOO much better than Norton!

Just a reminder -

The Disney Holiday Special is on HGTV tonight starting at 8pm EST.

Thanks for the reminder! I totally forgot. (I know, that will probably get me a smack)

Well, I bought a TV today. Panasonic 42" Plasma. The only down side is, is won't be delivered until December 10th. The day before I leave for DAP. I may ask for technical support after I get back. I'm not about to pay for Best Buy to come and "calibrate" my TV. The cost is obscene. I will try to read up about it online. I was surprised they didn't try to sell me the HDMI cables and such. I think I will get that on Amazon.

I won't get to watch it until after I get back from DAP. Since I have to watch it at my parent's house (no cable TV at home), I have to work around Dad's TV watching schedule.

That's too bad - we'll keep all the secrets for you so not to spoil your watching when you return

Hi guys

I learned how to do time lapse video using one of my video cameras this morning. I am thinking we may see DAP in a whole new way this year,ot at least DATW

Look - Time Lapse Christmas Tree

Love the video.

The lights are on! As soon as I got home from the dog show got and and managed to get the show started. I already had my first viewers. Saturday I'll work on getting everything perfect, but I need daylight for that.

Don't worry about sharing, I will watch it anyway. I have seen other Disney Christmas Specials, they are why I am excited to go at Christmas time.

Thanks, Alicia. I think I have been living on that forum more than the DIS the past week or so. They have had a few interesting things to say that I never thought of. Now I just need a big strong man to help me move the CRT TV in my room now down to the basement. And get the one in the basement into the SUV to take to Goodwill. And now I can have a DVD player in the basement again to do get back to working out.

No cable and HGTV for me.
I will have my memories of my trip last December and the anticipation of my Disney Holiday in December 2010.

This is one time I wished I had cable at home, but I can't justify the cost since I am not home enough to justify it. I will just have to wait to see it later in the month.

I bought the T-shirt Transfer material for Dark colored shirts today. I am going to make my shirts this week. WOO HOO!!

My oldest niece came home on Tuesday from OSU. You know Todd and Don, the university whose football team is going to the Rose Bowl?

Grrrrrrr....

That is great! I am glad that I am not the only one who gets help from the four legged members of the family.

thanks for saving me a trip to the store! Office depot has norton 2010 free after rebates and I was going to go over there tomorrow bcs my old one has expired (as my computer tells me EVERY day). I'm going to download Avast and see how it goes.

We use Avast (for free) at home and Malwarebytes (for a fee) at work. I have not had an issue with either system. They both work well.

Just a reminder -

DP keeps flipping to it when there is a commercial in his show, so that I may watch it.

I am making some this week as well.

I was always planning on making my own shirts, On Thursday, I found some neat Disney Shirts for $5.00 that will be the base for my shirt. The front of the shirts feature Mickey, Donald & Goofy.

Kim, buy a DVD that has a THX video calibration (like the Star Wars DVD). It walks you through the steps to calibrate your TV.

NEVER PAY MORE THAN $20.00 FOR A HDMI CABLE. HDMI is digital and does not suffer from signal interference like analog cables. Digital is 0's and 1's and not a modulated carrier(not Todd). It is 5volts + or -. A monster cable will perform the same as a cheap cable made in China.

And follow Alicia's post for the AVS forum. That is a great place to learn stuff and things.

Holiday decorations get put off another week.

Friday felt like a Monday. And the weekend was full of catch up sleep. I'm not ready to go back to work tomorrow, but on the bright side, tomorrow I can do the single digit dance!!!!!!
