I’ve run out of tapes to digitize, so I’m just trying to find the DVD’s I have laying around so it is easier to stream them through Jellyfin. I did also install an extra hard drive so I have more space for the stuff that I’ve gotten digitized.

Every Wednesday I’ve just been at the meeting I do with the government, and they told me that they’re almost done with the stuff they need to be, before they can come out with a verdict. And so far from what I hear it’s towards my side. At least that’s what they tell me.

I made a website some time ago and it was to keep track of tickets and such from people when they asked me for stuff, so I could actually see what people asked me for and how much time was spent helping them. I’ve then continued to work on it, so first it got a new design, and then I kept changing stuff so I could see how much I could potentially bill if I did tech support like that. And then I also made it so I can keep track of the stuff I digitize, like the length of the recording and the render time. And that also goes into a statistic page, where I can see both how much time in total I’ve spent on stuff, like if I get stuff from X person then I can list the tape that was digitized and the amount of time I’ve spent working on it, and what I could bill if I did it as a business. Some times I do get up to many many hours, like the first week (from the 1st to the 7th) of November I’ve spent 80 hours digitizing. And since I’ve run out of tape then I haven’t done anything there for some time. I think this is fine, to keep track of both what I’ve done, and also how much time has been spent working on some of this stuff. I do know that multiple stuff can run at the same time, but I’m just running one tape at a time, and then render. So it’s not like I can’t use the computer while I’m digitizing. I do also have 2 tape players, so I could if I just got the composite adapter from SCART, use another computer for 2 tapes at a time.

I did also add a feature where when I make a ticket, it tells me how much time I’ve spent on that ticket itself. Where I put in the time that I’m on the call, and time I research it. When that’s then put in and the ticket is closed, it will go to the billing statistics page so I can also see how much that particular person needs to be billed.

Just an update of what I’ve been up to.
