OK. This is me pushing the poor ol’ Mac to it’s limits. Not only is it rendering video, playing music (track 370 in me Itunes list - Beethoven: Symphony #8 In F, Op. 93 - 4. Allegro Vivace - yes, it's not all Bowie and James), and has me chatting to mates on MSN (normally pronounced S&M by me for some reason!), I’s now doing some typing too!
Well today I’ve plowed into the Stockport video tapes and I’m (we if you include the Mac), are on the last one for logging. “Stockport” - because I now realise that anyone reading this and hasn’t spoken/emailed/texted... etc me in the last few weeks, is another video project Guy and I are working on for Network Rail. It involves another road over rail bridge being chewed up and replaced in next to no time type promo.
The shoot itself is done whenever NR say they have something worth shooting - often involving 24 hour shifts between us. Then all the tapes have to be “logged” i.e. put all the usable bits on to computer, 50hrs of tapes so far. Then the fun begins. Music selection, cutting, effects etc etc etc.
Any ways - today was a good day for logging the tapes, after all it rained all day - what else is there to do?
Well actually... catch up with Dan and Jens adventures travelling America and Canada in their Camel 110 http://usacanadatrip2007.blogspot.com/ - always good for a laugh, that and see if Sam is talking to me yet.
Dan and Jen, or Jan and Den as I inevitably say it, don’t know why, any ways - they seem to be having a good ol’ jolly, even if the last few days have been just covering miles an’ miles of nothing but corn fields. Reading that part of their blog reminded me of driving back through France and the miles and miles - actually lets put it into perspective - days and days of wheat fields. I was in a 90 - no rush!
BRB - tape to log...
OK - that’s enough of concrete being poured - get on with it Mr Mac...
News?
I told Nay I thought she was a user and should leave as soon as possible last night.
I don’t mind that she took the pyss when she was staying at my house (I do but we’re not on about that) - but to do the same thing at my mates house! Not On!
I don’t know why (yet - I will give it some thought and get to the bottom of it) but people can sh8 on me and I put up with it - for so long at least - but sh8 on my mates an I get all upperty. Like I say, I’ll try and suss it out.
Anyways - she didn’t respond immediately, which I was rather disappointed with because I had lots more to say, but she did ring me up today and appologise because as she put it “I never realised you felt that way” - can I just ??????? ???? ? !!!! for a mo?
I’ve hardly said a word to you in 3 months - get the hint?
OK - I’ve now realised how wary I am of blogs. As I said before, I think it’s good to have a space to let off steam, previously it’s been a note book, but this - I aint to sure about.
Having said that - I do feel better for airing my spleen. So, while the typing it out helps - the public domain thing is still a worry - hey ho, technology?
Laters.
