Interesting.
It would appear that Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 does something funky to the WindowsUpdate installation capability. Way to go, MS… :^)

Okay, that’s it, I’m going home.

Borscht.

Yeah, so I’m sick, kinda sorta. Mostly I’m just feeling kinda headache-y, which is good.
Chatting with Fitz (who’s back in town from LA with his sister) is also Good ™.

Looking forward to heading home, and hanging out with Rippity Roo, and I sure hope Arwen’s feeling better soon. She gets sad when she gets sick, y’know?

Oop, gotta get this Win2k machine done. A rebuild after a(nother) IBM 30GB 7200 RPM drive packed it in.

Sweet! I just found out I’m getting my music (GeckoTemple) played on CBC3‘s NewMusicCanada show on Saturday Aug10th at 11pm. I’m listed as a HipHop artist (or at least clumped in with the others, but hey, airplay is airplay).

Also, DJ Clarence, who spins upstairs Saturday nights at SONAR in Gastown is dropping off some video clips from the Winter Music Conference in SanFran last winter, so I’m going to be pulling some vocal/voice samples from some of those clips, and (we hope) making music from them. We’ll see, I guess.

Oh yeah, and Arwen’s sister (who she’s never met) is in town for the next little while.

Things I have to remember to do.

Upload picture(s) to NewMusicCanada (or they can’t put me on their homepage.
Finish the /music end of the web site.
Fix the cam.
Finish uploading the mp3s for the 2nd album to NMC.

Get the CDs (or whatever it is) from Clarence.

NEW TOOL!

Just found something called MaxLister that looks like a freeware (and not quite so pretty) version of WhereIsIt. Version 2.41 was available today from here.

Bark.

I somehow managed to get the cam going again. Yay me.
The /music part of the site is done. Alsoplus yay me.
2nd album still needs to be uploaded to NMC. (not so much yay me)

I’m somewhat sorta a little tired, which is, of course, NOTHING compared to how tired Arwen is today, I bet. Toady’s a little crazy, but mostly just the tension of users knowing that there’s new hardware to be had, and none of them are getting it immediately. I’m doing what I can here to figure out who gets what when it comes to the Alienware hardware, but it’s all a little seat-of-my-pants.

Aparently, Homeworld 2 is already in the top ten games of 2003 (neat trick, since we’re working on it right now).

Alsoplus, Frequency Zero, Steampowered Films‘ entry in the 48 Hour Film Fest in Vancouver won Best Ensemble and the Audience Award. Woohoo. First time they’ve ever had a musical at the 48, too, I think.

There’s going to be a showing at RumRunners some time next week (first week of Sept 2002) and they’re already talking about putting together a DVD of their films. Coolness.

Oh yeah. Two things.

Bitter Films has a little bit of pencil animation silliness called Rejected that’s just too crazy for it’s own good.

Also, I’m trying to find out information about an animated piece by Richard Condie called “La Salla” Here’s the blurb: A tale of a man who has everything he needs in his one little room, and the disasters that befall him when he succumbs to the temptation of the world outside his door. An Italian opera, with subtitles and some cows and fish.

Okay, so I don’t want “more information.” I want a copy of it.

Oh yeah, that, and “Vernon Florida“

Okay, three things. So shoot me.

As if anybody would actually READ this. :^)
