THE CRAPPER SPEAKS
Sunday, August 06, 2006
I want to find out. What makes me get so mad I cannot stand it and want to change something. I know for one, having a wasted day does make me tick. But I can't possibly waste every other day right...? :X
Haven't been updating for the past few days, because I was caught up to the neck with Alvin's company video. Turns out they need to polish a video clip to be put up on the Net, so I volunteered. I didn't realise the mass of issues I had to gripe with...;
1. Editing software to use.
2. DVD ripping software, because I DON'T rip DVDs. (the company gave me a DVD to RIP... omigosh)
3. Time management
4. How to do it (which was solved when I had that "eureka thought" that it was up to me. Quite common sensical, but you know, the kids these days... :P (self-suan)
5. That my laptop CANNOT support it
6. HOW to use the software (bummers, I came in with zero knowledge of Adobe Premiere, and came out never wanting to use Adobe Premiere anymore. But I did get to understand how to use it. Heck, I'd even share how, if you had a way to get me to.
7. Backup plans (I can't stress the importance of this. Nevertheless, all my backup plans failed. What a wise-guy Windez is eh?)
So yeah, I took late nights and early mornings just to do the video. I'd committed roughly 20 hours into the video over a span of 3 days (12 hours today), and guess what? It failed. I was pretty surprised how a 500Mb video can inflate into a 3.2Gb video at 70% completion. Never mind the fact that Premiere crashed BEYOND a 100 times (and I'm not exaggerating) and I devoted roughly 5 hours to finding and ripping the DVD clip, amount of time wasted was just... despicable. Now I feel like a worse off sinner... =/ :x
Well, it wasn't too bad, at least I've learnt something...
Wait A MINUTE! Could it be... video editing the key to holy discontentment?... No wait, no way right?! God only you know the answer!Patience.
Anyway,
You know, when you counsel people, if you hear yourself clearly enough, you'll see that often more than not, what you say also applies to yourself. It's like God's trying to teach us something through us sharing something. And often more than not, after the sharing, I feel 1) more convicted, 2) more thankful for what I have, 3) more patient. Why more patient? Ask your shepherd. :P
Wahahahahaha.................... There's school tomorrow, HISTORY OF THE ARTS! Sounds really boring, but really, it's cool. Going to go on a do-well streak. Do well for that, then what I've planned after school all the way to the end of the race.
Oh yeah and Jason (drummer) and Jerrome, congratulations on having a new shepherd. :)
I'm so buay hiao bai. LOL!The Covenanted One, remember your covenant!
