Everything Else

I do love the wife, and the kids, but this weekend coming they are buggering off to Devon without me...

So what's planned.. Well.. finally I get to re-do the office, including the tri monitor stand for my SGI monitors.
Out goes 1 fuel, in the loft.
Sitting on the desk will be 3 Octane 2s, two of which will be connected to SD/HD for media input, the third for pure editing.
One Fuel (800MHz) will stay, and hopefully I will have received my V12 for it and can finally get round to getting the DM6 to work with discreet.
The IBM Power5 will get a life back, hopefully (again) being able to connect via the KVM to a USB PS/2 adaptor.
Some PC's are going.
Replacing the Panasonic Ag-7750 SVHS player for a DVcam player + simple home VHS player.

It's going to be better than a trip to Disney world for me, and it's just Colin, Steve (my dogs) and myself.

oh and I have to fix the electrics in the kitchen, and get rid of the extension cable that runs though the sink..

Well that's the plan anyway. (I'm sure there will be a few beers involved also).

Do you want to adopt me? =)
It sounds like great fun!

I've got no kids. =p

And here I am.. alone.. maybe I will start by fitting my V12 in my FUEL.. or shall I go to the pub!!

Personally, I always like to do a job or two, then go to the pub. That way the pint is a deserved celebration of a good job well done!

In fact, after spending several hours re-painting all the decking at the new house we moved to a few weeks ago, I'm about to crack open a beer myself now

Well, that's what I did, installed the V12 and then buggared off to the pub.

To paraphrase Homer Simpson; I would gladly kill everyone in this room for one drop of sweet beer...

So, I didn't quite get as much done as I would have liked.. the beer did get in the way..

I did though fit 3 monitor stand, which is excellent all so easy to move and adjust and gives me ultimate desk space. It was though not easy to fit.

Then there was the reduction.. I decided Power 5, Fuel, 2 Octane 2's were enough. Rest have gone to work.

And then the swap from sVHS to DVcam player.. this was a disaster, everything toppled and some things got bent.. thankfully, nothing broke, although I'd have trouble returning the black magic Analog - SD convertor.

So next up is a new thread on the DM6 fitted in a FUEL.. and getting it to work (my goal) in discreet apps, but need to start with the dmedia source examples.

AND WHY ARE MY PICS UPSIDE DOWN FFS!!!

Oh, computers, eh? Thought you were talking about great things like being the week guest for #SignalBoost!, or winning a free invitation pass for #CriticalRole's xxth episode! We've seen the gang dress like their characters, but I figured it was high time to do the reverse

I wonder how strange would be one week of attempts to grab a bite to a delicious slayerscake



A great holiday approaches... take a return ticket and fly away. I wonder what would have been happened if I was the one who was sitting next to Not Jason Bateman on the plane ...

Would I had met Marisha Ray ?!!!?!?!? Sit next to me?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh, sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree?

Still wanna impress mom..

Excellent. I have a "Wali" double monitor stand, it's one of those things where if you're messy like me it makes a big difference. Of course, the huge foot of the dell p2415q didn't help, either. (At least compared to the old apple screen which had a tiny foot). These stands are fairly cheap and a lot of people could benefit from them. You get back all the working space under the display.

Your setup looks real naice
