So, we (my brother and I, for our company) ordered a backup server. Another IBM x440 SMP unit. Sadly, I am stuck here waiting for it and dont know when I will be getting upstate now. Happily, I will soon have another x440 to play with.
Ah, such conflicting emotions… 
Well, with luck, I will get out of here in time to hang out in Ticonderoga for Fort Ticonderoga’s “Haunting” tomorrow… if not, then at the least Read more
So, right now, I am listening to Dream Theater’s “Lifting Shadows off a Dream” – while I get a little work done and think on just how inspirational some of my friends are.
It’s never too late to start dreaming – and it is never the time to stop dreaming!!!
Well, last night while doing some computer backups and restores, I spent most of the night on the phone with a friend. We had a pretty damn amazing conversation spanning numerous topics and interests. A wonderful side effect of that conversation was gaining the inspiration (for among other things) to try once more to quit smoking. So far so good.
With luck, this time I will hopefully make it long enough that I never start again. Thanks Matthew for the inspiration, and thanks Linda for the Nicorette gum!
Anyway, I’m hoping for many more amazing conversations like the one last night. And to never buy cigarettes again either…
Well, it’ll be a long night (and a long weekend) as I work on a little something special for Star Trek Phase 2. I’ve got the relatively easy part… just gathering the correct footage. Then, it’s all off to my friend Vic Mignogna to do some real magic with the stuff for a big upcoming event!
Sorry, I cant say what yet – but you’ll all know soon.
Well, it’s off to a few hours sleep… then, at 6AM, I need to make the drive to the studio. Hate the drive, but love being up there.
Safe travels to everyone heading up.
G’night all!
Well, today is really just part of yesterday for me. I got up really late yesterday (because of a very very late night the night before), so I am simply plugging away through what little of yesterday I had straight into today. Then, it’s off to some sleep before the long trek (no pun intended) upstate to work on a Star Trek Phase 2 shoot.
In the meantime, I’ve re-transcoded part of Star Trek Phase 2: Blood and Fire Part 1 for our Dragonfly Streaming video release (HIGH DEF FOLKS!!!) to fix some issues with the video codec used (which wasn’t supported by their player… through no fault of theirs… when I fixed an audio sync issue, I used the wrong output codec). Anyway, they’ll be done with their part soon, which places the ball back in my court for the website updates, with the help of the very talented Jeff Hayes of Plasmafire Graphics for some of the graphics work (if you haven’t checked out his work, you should… besides some gorgeous in-episode stuff, he’s done far more!). So, anyway, once I get back from the Pickup Shoot this weekend, it’s back to some website modifications so that Star Trek Phase 2: Blood and Fire Part 1 is ready for streaming delivery.
Well, I talk a lot about my Star Trek Phase 2 work, but I have a lot of other things going on right now as well. I’ve got a lot of edits to do for other websites, and some programming stuff to finish in the next few hours (on schedule, thankfully – at least so far) for a local EMS/Ambulance Company.
Off to some more Iron Maiden and some more work!!!
