get new computer homes.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s really the computer as much as me not knowing how to use the damn software. I mean clearly when I cut five minutes out of a video it’s not supposed to be ten times the size of the original. I am ending up with these ten gig files. I guess I should get a book on Adobe Premiere (the software I just started using, mainly because it can open Quicktime files & that’s the native format of my camera & when I upload actual QT files to YouYube it mis-aligns the audio (& it tells me it’s a known problem when uploading the format)).

get new silber IT helpdesk.

the footage you shot of us at Slim’s is about 40min and sits at 8gig. So if you’re not exaggerating, then yeah you need to do soemthing about your preferences.

I have an 11 minute one from Monday that is 2.75 gigs edited. Unedited it is 258 megs. So yeah, I’m doing something wrong for sure.

The Stranger, Finally Checking It Out, Tootsie Rolls, Remora, Dream
I watched the movie of Albert Camus’s The Stranger. Here’s the review on Finally Checking It Out.

shouldn’t you as the label be coming up with the RIYL artists. most bands have no idea what they really sound like.
also ha at the android…welcome to 4 years ago! James got one too but as far as i can tell he only texts/email/calls. seems like a waste of the money spent on it, especially for the monthly costs.
Well, what happens when I do the RIYL is the band eventually gets pissed off because of the comparisons to whatever band it is they don’t like. Plus I like to think that a band knows more about the genre they are in than I do.
The android I got was $25 with a two gig card in it & the service I use no longer offers a no-data plan. I was surprised it lets me get online via wi-fi before activating it. I was totally unimpressed by the fact that it had me link up to my google account to download apps & then automatically imported my whole address book into an unusable mess. I don’t see any possibility of me being able to use the thing for 90% of what I need a computer for, but maybe it will work for typing in short stories while riding in a van.
can’t comment on specifically the android but technically if your hands and eyes can handle it you’d be able to do most of what you do at home on it, although probably the annoyance frustration levels at maximum.
A lot of the work for running the business side of stuff is data entry things in Excel on worksheets that are 50 columns & about 1500 rows. So working on that using a display showing 3 columns & 5 rows sounds like a pain in the ass. I can only imagine trying to mix/master music or trying to design artwork on one of these things.
I do think people using them as their dominant email platform explains why no one writes lengthy emails anymore as they are a pain to write on (compared to a normal keyboard) & to me not particularly pleasing even to try to read. & then they generally suck as a phone as well & can’t hold a charge for over a day? Worth $25 to me I guess, but I might not switch to it as my main phone until the current one goes dead.
