working

on saturday i went out and bought a GB of RAM and 500GB of extra hard drive, got them both home and neither of them worked, £100 not yet working...

floopy was round and after awhile he came into the room and lent his magic presence and magically the drive started working,

the RAM just wasn't having it, so on monday i had a mad day of floating back and forth in this great city and i was passing close to the shop where i'd bought the RAM (well, i'd bought it at a computer fair but the people i bought it from have a shop is kensal green), so i popped in and changed the RAM, got it home and it didn't work...

went off to continue my mad day... tuesday also mad, not quite as mad as monday but i was much the worse for wear by tuesday so it wasn't until wednesday that i tried to work it out again, went through the steps i'd been through before...

and magically it worked...

so i went about moving all the dawn project footage from floopy's camera onto my new drive, i even managed to capture directly onto the new drive via my old computer and the network but it lost a few bits so i went back to capturing on the old computer and moving it over later,

and guess what? this morning i went out for week 51 of the dawn project (i know), came back, plugged the camera in, and it's already over in the new drive, just an hour or so after the shot...

this pleases me immensely...

rehearsing tonight with T's band after hammersmithwork... mental day again..

oh and i've begun a beginners film making course, tiny 6 week thing, very local... x

RAM doom improv CD arrives

in fact the improv CD arrived on monday, just been a little busy changing into piano player in restaurant man to have told you...

i think it took 3 weeks to arrive from the states, impractical...

but it looks gorgeous, W(floopy)shaman's work on my basic design is just beautiful:



isn't it?

lovely G from college came round last night to improvise with me, this week's improvisation, the 2nd collaborative one... uploading now...

all day yesterday my computer was freaking me out, i was trying to speed up the film of dinah cutting my hair on monday so that i can have my wicked way with it but vegas kept crashing, i'd leave it alone for awhile do render it's happy little way and i'd come back and my computer would be smiling at me saying "hi, i've just turned on... what shall i do?"

it did the same thing last night with me & G's improvisation so today i had a little look into it and it turns out my old 512Mb RAM was damaged, maybe by the heatsink i have on my processor, so i put in the 256Mb one i'd taken out before, relieved that it wasn't the new 1Gb one that was broke, and everyone is happy today, the improvisation is rendered and... has just finished uploading...

the haircut has also gone through it's 1st stage of speeding, probably another 2 times for that...

so i'm happy x
