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.
