Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

CD Track to MP3?

Can anyone tell me how to take a song from a CD and convert it to an MP3 rather than a WAV file? My friend Michael recorded a demo and I really want to upload his songs to my Radio.Blog Thanks to Will and Ashley, I figured it out :roll: Be sure to check out Michael’s songs on my Radio.Blog. If you like his tracks, share the link with your friends.

I love computers, but I hate printers. I always mess them up because I don’t know a thing about them and I don’t care to read the instruction manual :sweatdrop: Today, Will tried to print something and received some strange error regarding the print cartridges. I opened it up, fiddled with the cartridges, then tried to close it back, but it wouldn’t shut. I instinctively got mad and started yelling at Will for breaking my brand new printer. In turn, he got mad and left. Well, a few minutes later I discovered the true culprit - a piece of bark that Pixie had brought in from outside. How she managed to get a piece of bark up inside my printer is quite a mystery. Poor Will, he gets blamed for everything! hehe

I finally fixed all the bugs in my plugboard script. If you’re interested in my script, you can download it here. It uses PHP/MySQL and protects against spamming and broken images/links. There is also an option to email you when someone submits a button. It’s a simple script, but I’m proud because it’s my first :-D If you decide to use it, let me know your name and website and I’ll plug you. Currently, Michelle and Natasja are using my script.

I have four tests next week… I think that’s the most I’ve ever had in one week, aside from finals. Calculus and Math 115 on Tuesday, Computer Science on Thursday, and Visual Basic on Friday. I’m going to be in the library the rest of the weekend, so I better get some sleep tonight.

    I use iTunes to convert songs from cds to mp3s. You go to the settings in iTunes and set it to save songs as mp3s when you copy them off a cd. Hope that helps.

    There should be an iTunes music folder in your iTunes program file.

    I hate printers too!

    Everytime I need to print something urgently, the printer screws up on me. I end up on the floor taking it apart trying to fix the toner/retrieve scunched up piece of paper/rattle the wretched thing to bits. LOL

    Audiograbber and Soundforge can convert CDS to Mp3s.
