DVD power... 10:08PM
Finally I have a DVD writer. The Super Multi Drive. Its a beast, it does everything and I like it. I've just burnt my first DVD in under 12 minutes and thats at 4x speed. It can write at 16x if I have the media (roughly 4 minutes for a DVD, pretty sweet). Its amazing what they can do these days.
So finally I have a backup of all my photos in one place. Next it will be all my work
What is also amazing is how cheap the media has become. You can buy 50 DVDs at 50c each. If you get 25 (as I did) its around 60c each. This is of course through a work supplier but still they're "cheap as chips". How are we poluting our world?
I forgot to mention it does double sided DVDs (~8GB) as well. Rock on. I like DVD power!
So you've probably heard about PLA and want to know more. This requires a bit of a read (but very interesting) but in short PLA is polylactic acid, a biodegradable plastic that can be made from starch. It can be made into any form of plastic such as plastic bags, pens, whatever, it degrades at a medium temperature (180 degrees maybe) and is readily renewable. Interesting.
