Is This Working
Just testing. Posted with LifeCast
Amazing Ad http://bit.ly/3UKH3E Be sure to watch it all. I bet you watch it twice!
Didn’t realise it was so late. Time to sleep. See you in the morning!
Don’t you hate it when you line up a list of FTP jobs to run overnight only to find half have failed in the morning!
A bit of Prefab Sprout whilst I’m doing some post production stuff.
Follow on from my insane monitor setup - think I’ll have to replace the 42” TV with a 32” model - It’s too damn big!
OMG!! Scoble blogged this before: http://bit.ly/2jWZkF Check out the stunning HD video shot with a Canon 5D MkII STILL camera. Watch the HD!
Encoding to AIC - Compressor being the most helpful and stable crock of **** as usual.
Will post some later today once I’ve got this first pass editing finished - it’s causing me all sorts of grief!
Retweet “@daveverwer: Ooh look, http://tinyurl.com/4sgete ” - Excellent MacDev 2009 (Europe) - putting it in my diary now
ooh! Podcamp Barcelona (and me) got a mention in the Spanish press. Hope they’re saying nice things about me :-) http://bit.ly/1RxrVD
Decided to delete my Time machine backup from the Time capsule and start again - It was up to 500GB anyway!
Right - cup of tea and catch up with the editing I lost yesterday - don’t you hate it when that happens?
Phew, discovered a corrupt screenflow capture file causing 30% of my recordings not to export. Must rememberto use short captures from now
Time Machine backup now running - 1,439,681 items = 136GB !!
It’s official, the latest addition to my monitor setup is insane! Lot’s of clearing up to do :-(
Cool! 668GB fre on my Time CApsule - lets see if the Mac Pro will behave now.
Looks like I lost a couple of hours of editing :-( Might install my new big TV to cheer me up!
Oh lordy, switched my facebook account to Pirate translation on Friday and can’t see how to switch it off!. Makes it more interesting :-)
Perhaps I’ll wait until the neighbour stops mowing his lawn before starting to record!
Time Machine error - The backup volume is read only - WTF!
Syncing overnight podcasts then off to thegym. Compressed work week this week
Seriously hacked off re being unable to backup to my Time Capsule from the Mac Pro. The G5 seems to be working fine
Typical, upload speed reduced to a crawl :-(
Phew! MacRoundtable 49 is now published and available via iTunes or at http://bit.ly/1u4k4z - I’m off to bed!
FTPing MRT 49 up to Libsyn
12:39am Time Machine is still preparing backup and MRT Ep 49 is normalising.
Plugged in Time Machine whilst making the teas and rebooted my Mac. Will see what happens
Halfway through editing MacRoundtable - Me, Allison, Adam and Bart this week. Time for a decaf tea and a nibble.
Bother, looks like Time Machine seems to have goy itself into a tiz. Keeps preparing constantly and fails with an error message :-(
Just starting to record the MacRoundtable
And finished with the MacRoundtable. Will edit either later tonight or tomorrow. Some family time now!
Roast Beef Sunday dinner with a glass or two of red wine, then chatting with my buddies on the MacRoundtable!
Is there a one minute Spanish I can use before Barcelona podcamp on Friday :-)
Heading back into Liverpool as Dads taxi. Using Genius playlists to populate my iPhone with some fresh stuff!
Aching a bit from all the physical exertion yesterday. More tidying and installing today interspersed with running Dads taxi.
Planning on finishing this rush commissioned job, publishing this weeks show then taking some time to re-jig the studio and install this TV
Perhaps my overwhelming feeling of sadness re these new ads is that I feel sorry for all these “lost” souls who are missing out - seriously!
OFFS Microsoft! Get a grip! These new ads are just sad. I sell Fish - What a lsting impression that gives. I think I preferred Seinfeld.
Two thumbs up from the customer for my second commissioned screencast of the week. May see this one very shortly if you follow mac blogs
ooh! New compressor update out. Wondr if it fixes distributed encoding - will wait until I’ve finished these jobs off first :-)
My take on the M$ ads - Phase 2 - http://bit.ly/14TqEE - aand with that, time for the studio clear up and re-org
New members ScreenCastsOnline show published - iTunes 8 Update - http://bit.ly/4dnsnV
Another evening recording session ahead
I must go to bed early tonight otherwise I’ll not be able to keep up the pace. A glass of red wine or two once I start encoding should help
LittleSnapper ? Sounds like a screen capture app? Up against skitch? I think not?
