My technical knowledge is limited. Basically, I learn things on my own and hope I don't break anything in the process. Lately I've been trying to figure out how to burn DVDs. Is this process supposed to be some really easy thing that everyone else "gets" yet perpetually manages to elude me?

Now, I can't do this on my nine-year-old home computer, because she's hopelessly outdated. But one computer at the local college has a DVD writer attached. So far I've figured out how to burn CDs. I managed to actually copy a DVD that works perfectly well in my DVD player. But I cannot work out how to burn my own DVD. I've downloaded files and tried to burn them but failed. I'm not even sure if the computer currently contains any programs that allow for DVD burning. If it does, I haven't been able to decipher the instructions. Besides that, I've downloaded roughly 20 free programs that proved useless.

After spending four afternoons trying, I've more or less given up.

There's this meme floating around everywhere, and I decided to list my choices for various Doctor Who favorites and least favorites.

To go with my list of 50 recs posted last week, here are 52 more.

Just signed up to do Doctor Who fanfic recommendations for rec50. My table of prompts is inside the cut.

I saw so much negative reaction to last week's "Love & Monsters" that I waited several days to view it. Then I ended up liking it and feeling stupid for letting myself be so swayed by those opinions. So I caught "Fear Her" in a much more timely manner, and I liked it, too. It won't go down as one of my favorites, but it was more than worth the time.

God, I haven't updated in forever. I actually forgot I had this LJ. I was looking at my badfic (see previous entry) and decided to hunt up the mock of it: here, if this stupid thing accepts HTML code. I taught myself HTML years ago, but the Internet has gotten so dumbed down since then, with shortcuts instead of requiring one to actually--gasp! the horror!--learn something that I don't know if it'll turn out right. Even though it SHOULD.
