Rogue Idea

First Test Week and Progress on Blog Stuff

Well this week i have my first test. Sooooo I’m not really excited but I’m not like stressed either (probably will be next week when i have two more). Today we had another speaker in class and he actually graduated from the same program so that was encouraging to see. I have tried to keep up with most of my classes but the class I’m probably doing the worst in right now i human genetics just because I havent read or done anything for that class at all yet. all my other classes I’ve at least read the material that we’ve covered so far. I need to study for my entrepeneurship class though because i have an exam this thursday. I really don’t know whats going to be asked on the exam, but i heard the tests were supposed to be really easy. i’m supposed to go buy a scantron for it too tomorrow.

Not much else at school has been going on. except that i have decided i am not gonna spend anymore money there. its costing me too much already and i’m not going to buy any food there. i’ll just bring my own food. …or starve and wait till i get home. lol. which is probably going to happen a few times when i forget to bring food.

Oh actually, I’ve been trying to figure out how to convert media files and burn them on dvd. I finally converted with this WinAvi thing.  At first I thought it was pretty impossible and thought my laptop might not be strong enough to handle it.  But the other programs were really slow and this did it in 30 minutes (huge improvement from the estimate time givent o me by other programs that were in DAYS).  Sooooo Finally i found something that works with converting rmvb to other formats like mpeg and avi.  Okay so I burned  a dvd with  my test clilp in avi.  for some reason it plays on my laptop as a dvd but it wont play in my little dvd player.  so im gonna try it out on some other dvd players and see if it works or if i need to try a few other things to see whats wrong.  I’m hoping it does.  one problem is though each of my files or videos is 45 minutes, each dvd says it holds 80 minutes….  so thats kind of a waste if i can only use half of each dvd.  therefore…. I will try to cut out the beginnings and ends where theres credits and stuff to squish it in.  lol.   orrrr….i dont know how much a blu ray disc can hold, but I was kinda wishing I had one of those now cause then I could put more on it.  Even though, it would be way too much money to buy all that when dvds are cheaper now.

So after like weeks of searching for a converting program I finally found it.  On the way I found a few other stuff like other video converting things, which I’ll have to post about later cause I’m too lazy to look it up now.  And also sometimes I would get results about converting from all other formats EXCEPT rmvb, or from tape to dvd, or converters that were just wayyyyy too slow.   So I’m glad I sorta got that problem figured out.  Now I just gotta make the dvd playable on dvd players.  Or actually, I think i need VCD player, which I dont think I have.

Oh yeah, my CTR increased by ONE whole number percent on adsense!!  So my test blog is working out pretty well but like i said before, I am still working on ideas to bring traffic that will bring my money in.  I signed it up with linkworth, text-link-ads, and forsalebypublisher.  I dont think i’m going to use text-link-ads though because 50/50 is pretty steep plus forsalebypublisher.com doesn’t charge any commission.  Linkworth does, but its 70/30 so thats still much better than 50/50.  so that is my blog stuff for my other blog i have set up.  the good thing is hopefully I will be able to get some adsense check soon.  And I’m debating on payperpost for the blog or not.  Because since the other blog is new, It doesn’t have anything and will only be able to get crappy posts for like 5 bucks each.  I know I need money, but I’d rather spend time working on stuff thats gonna make more than 5 dollars.  anyways thats all for now.
