I got a copy of Xilisoft’s Audio DVD Ripper and used it to extract the music, into mp3, from the Led Zeppelin Seattle DVD and that worked well. Of course there is no indexing so the music from the first DVD is a single track 109 minutes long.

I could use Cooledit Pro to create tracks but that uses WAV files so I would need to re-extract the Zeppelin DVD with Xilisoft into a single large WAV file then do an edit of that single file for each of the 11 tracks and then, having got the 11 tracks in WAV form, use Winamp to convert them to mp3. Then load it into iTunes. Wheew…a bit of work.

One of the two interviews I had last week for the same company came back with a response to my interview today and oh boy it was a goody. The reason they aren’t taking it any further was that the interviewer thought I was too much of a developer. Huh. I haven’t cut code for 15 years.

I’ve been testing software for 18 years, which I told the agent may have been longer than the interviewer. The agent said that was almost certainly the case. The agent also said that they regarded it as such a shoe-in, I’d worked there before, and got a great reference from one of their other members of staff, that they didn’t even think I would need to be interviewed, just told to turn up.  

I have to assume that he hadn’t read my resume very well and just hadn’t realised how long I have been testing buggy code.
