JOURNAL: grayplague (Steve )

  • 2002-06-06 15:23:16 The video idea I got a few days ago (see a few entries below) is getting better and better the more i think about it. Im listening to the song ago and it will just fit so well.

    A lot of the videos I make are lyrics driven. And thats one of the things I like about this idea. It wont be dependant on the lyrics.

    Listening to: not telling! its spoil the idea ^_^

    Listening to: "Superbike" by FatTruckers; thanks to ek 
  • 2002-06-05 22:26:11 Yeah! Got half way done with my awa entry! In a way this is a bad thing because I only captured clips for the first half of the video. So come tomorrow Im going to have to sit down and start getting clips again. I have to say thats the worst part of making vids..... capturing the damn footage.

    I received my 41st opinion a little while ago. I have 2 more coming to me in trades.... and a 3rd if you count the one I never received from a trade nearly a month ago!

    Oh well........ got my graduation ceremony tomorrow. <sarcastic yay>

    Those are my ramblings for now. Later,

  • vid idea!!! 2002-06-05 15:35:17 Well I've been wanting to make a video to this one series which I will not name but I could never find a song that would actually work good. Today im just sitting, listening to my Rio at Sinclair community college and it comes to me.

    The anime, at the moment, has only been used in one video. The video uses various sources and its DL link doesn't even work. So in my opinion the anime has never been used before. Also, the song has never been used. I think this idea would hopefully get a 10 for originality from anyone who would review it.

    That is.... whenever I get around to making it. 
  • my longest journal entry yet... why do I spend my time typing this? is it like someone would actually read it!? ^_^ 2002-06-04 09:33:22 This morning has somewhat thrown me for a twist.

    12:15 AM
    Last night, at about 12:15 I start encoding an episode of Sealab 2021. To be precise, the one that was on Adult Swim Sunday at 11:45. I was using a Huffyuv source and was using Nandub to encode to a two pass SBC DivX file. It gets about ten percent done with the first pass and I get an almighty Win2k blue screen. It stated there was an exception here and blah blah blah. Then it stated "begin physical memory dump." So im think 'no big deal, so its dumping my ram.' Well, when that finishes my system restarts and freezes after my Ultra133tx controller loads. I have never had this happen before. I try some different things but the truth of the matter is I was too tired to do anything about it. So I just pull the power cord and go to sleep.

    8:30 AM
    Well I get up this morning expecting it to be how it was last night. I turn it on and IT GOES PAST THE ULTRA133TX LOADING!!! So I'm like "YEAH! now I dont have to waste my time fixing it!" Immediately when I finish thinking this it pops up saying thats its unable to load the operating system. Ahhhhh Nuts. This pissed me off especially because if I need to reinstall Win2k, I CANT! (simply because I loaned it to a friend and they lost it!!!) So I turn to what I feel was my next best solution. I have Win2k loaded onto an old 1.5GB HD I have incase mine stops working. Since I use NTFS as my file system on my drives, non of the other computes in my house can read em because they all use either Windows 98 or shitty Windows ME. Well, i pop it in and it loads the os just fine. I get into Windows and it tells me my password has expired!!! WHY THE FUCK DID I SET A PASSWORD (THAT EXPIRES) ON A DRIVE I WOLD VIRTUALLY NEVER USE!!! I try to get the password by guess, trying to think of old ones I used. I finally get it and just set the password to nothing. Immediately once im actually IN windows, I go and set the password to never expire.

    9:00 AM
    Now that I was in Windows2k I could actually check the status of my NTFS drives. At this point I was close to believe that they somehow got fucked up and I would lose the first half of my AWA entry. WHICH WOULD ROYALLY SUCK cuz I've been working on it for over a month now. It turns out both of my HDs were perfectly fine. No errors, no corruption, nothing wrong. So im just starting to think "WTF is wrong with it." I decide to try to boot off of the disk which it said it couldn't load the operating system from. So I yank out my bootHD (with the power off of course ^_^) and hook all the drives back up the way they were to start. To tell the truth I was about to give up on it until later this evening. But I boot the system back up, it goes past the Ultra133tx bios and loads Win2k! This actually pissed me off believe it of not. Sure I was glad it was working again but it also meant I had just wasted a ton of time. I just dont get it. I didn't even do anything to it. Its exactly how it was when I first turned it on this morning. I get over it fast, get into windows, check my email, then start typing this.
    ----------------------------------------------------

    Blah! ppl still owe me some opinions from trades. Oh well. Im not going to hassle them.

    The next anime I am going to watch is Noir. After that Im going to watch Pretear.

    Thats my ramblings for now ^_^
