amazes me
2002-05-07 17:05:32
I am amazed at how ignorant some people can be and adament about it at the same time, like they know everything! Very frustrating at times. You know it is funny to think of it, someone who claims to be a "computer expert" and yet firmly believes that something one can do quite easily, can not be done. Out of respect I will not mention any names for this situation, but it happened in the help forums and I was just, I don't know, sort of shocked. Guess I should hang out in the forums more to correct stupidness. Though come to think of it, that could be a larger task than I am willing to take on. maybe if people would just think about something, and if they don't have the experience with something, then please don't comment on it like it is fact. If you have never tried something, then you do NOT know it won't work. There is now reason to comment on things like that, for any reason.
Grow up children.

Fixed bad link to BGCmarymary
2002-05-07 00:32:40
Just fixed the bad link to my BGC Mary Mary amv. Amazing what happens whne the links are working, getting hits pretty quickly.
Just finished a good game of SCRAFT with my fiance, it's great to live with someone that likes computer almost as much as you do! Both of us are in the tech industry, I'm a network conlutant and she runs a cisco/volition network for the UofM. We can talk to each on the same level. I had a lot of fun recently by building a new PC for her, sweet machine, AMD XP 1700+, 60GB HD, cool black case, etc... ~$600 total! She likes it, it replaces a POS Compaq Celeron system, thing was sloooow. We would be playing Diablo and whenever something big came along her PC would stutter and next thing you know, she's dead and she didn't even see what killed her!
Anyway, ttyl

yay, 25 hits to my journal...

I just say the hit counter at the top of my journal page, shows how much I'ved used this eh? Well I will try to keep an up to date journal from now one, making an entry or 2 every day.
Something I have wanteds to do for a long time is get a little intro piece for my amv's, I have the abolute perfect music for it. Still working out what video i will use, probably a smorgashborg (spelling?) of different ones, whatever they are will cool and short, I will try to keep it between 5-15 seconds. What is the general thought about these intro clips? hated for the extra download time, or enjoyed as a special treat? somewhere in between?
Anyway, till i get my converter there wont be much happening, but I have a ton of ideas floating through my cerebrum for more amv's. I may make some notes of them here, but hopefully no one will steal them...

another mod to the EVA project
2002-05-06 22:15:03
I re-did the audio of the .mov version with .mpg audio, much smaller file size and same quality, although a little quieter for some reason. Strange that since the .mpg audio played by itself sounds the same volume as the .aiff track by itself, but when I added the .mpg track to the movie, it plays it quieter, maybe because processing is being split between the video and the audio and it can not just focus on the audio...
anyway shaved off about 20 MB from the downloaded file size along with using the 3ivx codec. Wish I had my original source video still, ah well it souldn't be too long before I get my converter, then it will be time the re-make to end all re-makes!
