So, like, I had a long post almost ready yesterday… but I had to slot a Zip disk to check a reference. I should know better. The Zip driver for OS X crashes the desktop every time (no big deal, the process restarts automatically)… but this time it locked up the whole machine, I had to do a hardware restart. Lost my post, and just wasn’t up to re-typing it.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
Figured out the last problem I was having with the special effect for my friend’s wedding video. Rain wants me to change the timing slightly, but that will just be an evening’s work. I’m learning a lot – maybe I can be meiran<\/a> and raininva<\/a>‘s special-effects tech when they are famous moviemakers.<\/p>\n Return to Castle Wolfenstein<\/i> is very hard in single-player. Hey, game designers – some of us don’t play Quake 3 Arena<\/i> 40 hours a week. The easy setting is supposed to be… easy<\/b>.<\/p>\n Yes, I enjoyed MiB 2… no, it was as good as the first one.<\/p>\n Got the final “Robotech: Macross” boxed set this weekend, thanks to Rain. It even has the “Robotech: Sentinels” pilot as an extra – a film that made Macross<\/i> purists howl. Only four more boxed sets to go before I have the whole Robotech series… then I can get the UFO set… then Monty Python’s FC… then Thunderbirds… what do you mean they’re already released ST:TNG third season?<\/p>\n MPEG-2 is going to be very expensive to me, I can see that.<\/p>\n Ooops… my boss’ laptop is throwing a kernel panic… won’t boot off the hard drive or the CD. This oughta be fun…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, like, I had a long post almost ready yesterday… but I had to slot a Zip disk to check a reference. I should know better.
