New Home for LScully PersonalPoints!

Just to confirm that, this is now the new home, of what used to be called: LScully PersonalPoints….
(On the LScully Music Site)

I hope the move inspires me to post updates a lot more regularly….
It kind of feels more cosy on this domain, for some strange reason,
so there’s hope yet!….Cheers-4-Now…. Laurie. :D

Quick Updates!!

OK, so it’s been nearly a year…. boo, hiss…. yes, you’re right, It’s been a bit of a struggle recently, so I’ll be trying a bit of the little & often approach now…. mmmmmmmmm!!!!

The Little Shift about on the LSMusic BlogZone is nearly done now, so that’s a relief…. I had all sorts of problems with the latest WordPress updates, but we got there….

See You Later…. Laurie….::::…. :)

Tweak, Tweak!

I’m pretty sure now that I’ve become a Tweakoholic…. I’m still spending too much time playing with new services, & then having to tweak the site to incorporate the shiny new widget I must have!…. I’m already obsessive-compulsive with desktop widgets, so I’m a Widgoholic as well.

Thankfully I think I’m fairly settled on my choice of main social networks now – Facebook & Topixz for the Communities, & Twitter for more Business related stuff. Meebo has become indispensable as my communication platform – it’s just incredibly versatile, & very reliable now.

The YI DVD project is now more focused, & I’m wading through the many video clips & photo we have…. editing these down into what will become part 2 of the DVD – The background & history of all 3 shows…. Brian Davies is formalising the structure right now.

Musically, things are still way behind schedule, but I’m feeling a lot more positive about things now…. I shall be releasing a collection of my old favourite covers shortly…. Cheers-4-Now!…. Back Soon. :)

…. And then it was January 2009!!

Well, Surprise, Surprise I’m Behind Schedule again…. Like many of you, I was battling the bugs over Christmas & New Year, thankfully I didn’t go completely under, but it certainly didn’t make things any easier!…. So that leaves me still doing Christmas Tracks for another week or so, which is odd, but not as bad as doing them in the late summer, which has happened before!

The Live Video Streaming Tests I’ve been doing have been going well, after a rockey start – Initially I just kept getting crash after crash on my main PC, but things seem to have settled down – Using the Adobe Flash Media Encoder Now, quite successfully…. The Audio is much more stable, and in Stereo now. I’m still doing mostly tests with Lower Bitrates at present – To save Bandwidth, as a couple of HQ Tests I did used up half my monthly bandwidth allocation in 2 Days!!…. But I’m gonna be changing my ISP soon anyway, and will have to buy a package with a bigger monthly allocation.

I’ve been really getting into the social networking/media thing…. I finally “got it” & am starting to get just a little bit obsessed by it all. It really does start to get quite compulsive, so I will have to ration my time a bit, but the new friends & contacts that i’ve made have already made a difference to my psyche – providing an awful lot of Positive Vibes, which seems to be rubbing off on me!

Next on the agenda is a DVD Project, working with Brian Davies, a very dear, long time friend of mine, & my family – We’ll be Packaging the Old Video tapes & other content of my dear old Dads shows. Focusing primarily on the “Yesterday’s Island” Material – I’ll be giving more details on this in future posts here.

I’d better crack on now, before I get out of the Christmassy mood I’m still in!!…. Cheers-4-Now…. Laurie.

Progressing…. Slowly but More Surely!

My Oh My…. Another little Update….
And It’s not even Christmas Yet…. Phew!
There’s been a fair bit of Progress on the Site
since the previous Report….
The Different Areas are gradually getting better Defined….
Premium and Reciprocal Links are Now Available
to our Special Friends!….
The LSM Social Network has just got under way,
which is where you’ll find the LSM TasterTrax
(The Public Versions of some of our FreeTrax)….
This brings us to Content…. Which is still Slowly Progressing,
both on the Blog and Music Front.
Hopefully we’ll be finishing Johnno’s First Batch by Christmas….
Plus a Seasonal Extra or Two….
I’m aiming to get 3 or 4 of my Own Tracks
out in this Time Frame Too!….
I’m trying to Incorporate more Real Guitar into the Tracks,
but I got so out of Practice
(Just being plain Lazy in letting MIDI Programming do all the Work!)
that I’ve had to spend a Load of Time just Rehearsing
even fairly straight forward Guitar Parts!….
My fingers have just about recovered
from the Initial Shock
and have regained their former Hard Skin Tips
…….. Much to my Relief!
There’s still loads of other stuff to do of course,
but as someone one said – “were getting there” – I Think!
That’s all for now…. Catch you again soon!…. Laurie.
