Why Am I Still Up?
May. 16th, 2014 12:38 amOh yeah, Ye Olde Towne Band rehearsals. 7:30-9:30. He had us play all the ones with high notes. I need a lip replacement. Did not help that I forgot the Fixodent.
Started the morning naked in front of the computer setting up PhotoShop to do some work from home which I don't have the tools for at the office. And I already had a macro to handle the most difficult part.
Here's what I was doing:
( Read more... )
Somewhere between batch runs, I took a shower & got dressed. The results went onto a thumb drive which I took to work. I had started early, and wasn't much later to the office than usual.
Spent about half the day dragging and dropping those images onto batch files which converted them the MPEG4 videos. I uploaded 30 of them (this had to be done one by one as well) to the test machine. Then I had to create some muxes, assign input videos to them, and backup videos, and finally these images. They are called "slates" and are what you see when there is some catastrophic "technical difficulty" which blocks the videos from getting to the box. I can also push a button and make all the slates take over.
So that's running overnight. I'm doing the HD 1080i ones first, because if that doesn't break the machine, the lower resolution ones probably won't.
I stayed at work till 7, but the last hour was in the break room kibitzing Automation Guy and Assistant Automation Guy in the pool tournament. They are both pretty good. The project manager set the rules, and he did it wrong. Instead of the usual doubles play where one person keeps shooting till he misses, if one guy on the team makes a shot, the other guy gets the next shot, and they trade off until one misses.
After rehearsals I went straight home. It was pretty hot, so the double-pane windows which allegedly are installed are a FAIL. It was 72 outside, 84 inside at 10 pm. It got up to 92 outside during the day. Domino is not enjoying the heat, and is starting to get matted again. Grrr.
Watched a couple of episodes of TMZ. Am now less than 2 weeks behind.
Plans for tomorrow:
Work
Pear Ave Theatre for Pear Slices, a handful of one-acts written in their playwrights workshop. I have that on my list to do some day.
