IT

• Set up an automated attendent / voice mail system for my PBX using my Dialogic board (preferablly using Linux software so I can have features like emailing my voicemail to me).
• Transcode all of my DVDs so they take less space

   Write a script to mount a DVD, transcode all of the VOB files to MPEG4 (or whatever gives the best compression without reduction in quality), then create a new DVD image
   Make [[1]] able to play these new compression formats (it can only play mpeg-2, probably the best way to do this would be to add an mplayer interface to it)

• Set up a Linux based media system with MythTV
• Back up all of my servers
• Setup a Linux based video editing machine with support for my miniDV video camera (Travis wants to make some movies)

• Go over all of my old computer equipment, determine what works and what doesn't, and get rid of broken stuff.
