(no subject)

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.

Anyway.

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 and raininva's special-effects tech when they are famous moviemakers.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is very hard in single-player. Hey, game designers - some of us don't play Quake 3 Arena 40 hours a week. The easy setting is supposed to be... easy.

Yes, I enjoyed MiB 2... no, it was as good as the first one.

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 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?

MPEG-2 is going to be very expensive to me, I can see that.

Ooops... my boss' laptop is throwing a kernel panic... won't boot off the hard drive or the CD. This oughta be fun...

I cannt tyype...

I meant to say that MiB 2 was not as good as the first one.

Also, I'm glad that I'll finally get to play Voyager: Elite Force holomatch with Rain. Of course, she'll find her groove in about a game and a half and start kicking my butt, but at least I can spawn a cube's worth of Borg to help out if it starts getting too humiliating.

One more thing to clutter my friends page

For those users out there who don't read the LJ news; now, if you are a paid user, you can add slashdot, the geek news site, as an LJ friend. Basically means you get the headline and links to each article.

I'm gonna try it for a while, but Iffen I don't like it, gone it will be.
