video camera

Thursday: Got about two hours sleep last night. Woke at 8, to disturbing news from London. MB was out at Third Life practicing dancing. Up, and cats, shower, brief email, down basement. Said hello to MB. Printed directions to Lyman's, and then out with MB and a bundle of papers. Hard finding our way into the building. Finally presented ourselves to the receptionist, and then spent about an hour and half going through all our documents. A pleasant drive home.

Down basement for about a two hour nap, then off to work. Grabbed some pizza before sitting down at the desk. Worked on a new method for creating add-on user interface layouts. Refreshing to be doing something constructive, rather than just fixing bugs. Coffee. Jm was out today, so I wasn't able to talk to him about the issue with the obstinate developer. This issue has been pushing a button, and I've been letting go. Talked to Eln about string parsing and character encoding. Left a bit after 7.

Home briefly, picking up some flyers, and testing the video camera, which arrived on my desk today. The cats obliged by doing stupid stuff. It works. To Union Square, and Third Life. Said hello to the guy that runs the class before me. No participants again. Packed up and headed out. Stopped at the video store and picked up a couple titles. Got a fast food veggie burger as consolation. Back home watched a little of "V is for Vendetta" while eating. Found I'd rather be playing with the camera, which I did. MB came home and we watched more of the movie. I made a connecter for the shotgun mic to the unbalanced stereo input of the camera. Did some more experimentation with iMovie and iDVD. Fun stuff.
