Whoops. As I cannot blog at work, I took some notes on paper that I forgot about. I found it just now.

A street festival on Fulton today (er, Friday). Two blocks, with the usual suspects; videos, music, sunglasses, pottery, weavings, none of which look quite kosher. Definitely non-kosher foods. Drinks. Mostly an annoyance on the way to the lunch. I pointed Karlene out to the kung-fu movies, but. she. has. All. of. them. Addict. If I had known about it earlier, I may have gotten food there, but by that time I had fixated on the idea of McDonald’s fries and an empanada from the empanada place just past the festival. The fries were disappointing, the empanadas, expensive as ever. Ah well.

Gotta re-do the web page. I was working on something with stylesheets some time back, but stopped.

Last night (Thursday night) I discovered why Reel-Eyes videocap program was giving me problems: Qualcomm PureVoice audio recording was giving it fits. I changed the encoding to uncompressed, and I could record using Reel-Eyes again, which is definitely much simpler than configuring Adobe Premiere.
