Three important computer things I have learned this week

1. How to get the hell rid of Adobe PhotoDownloader. *stabs it*
2. How to take a screenshot in VLC.
3. What the "Parent" link does in LJ.

Oh, woot. Will there be icons? ;)

Just got myself VLC, too; I shall have to poke around and see what it can do.

Oh yay, I just got VLC to play some fansubbed anime in odd formats.

I'm intrigued by the fact that some of the books have authors' name on, and some don't. It's not just a question of whether the author is known: "Little Red Riding Hood" has no author name on it, but neither does "Treasure Island" or "The Wizard of Oz". My current theory is that they only put authors' names on the ones that are still under copyright.

Maybe, or it was a special request. I'm wondering if they would change titles if you wanted your favourite book titles. I'd need "the Bridge of Birds" "Persuasion" and "the Alphabet of Thorn", just to name a few.
