Saturday morning

After a good day yesterday re-designing the educational structure of the local area (only in theory). I have now set myself the task of equipping 10 iMacs with Final Cut Studio, x1 and Final Cut Express x9. As well as recording enough pieces to camera for a full (teaching) practitioners day in late March. To be used editing and making a 1 minute professional standard cut (rather than filming as well). I think I agreed to a whole lot more but await the minutes to see what I actually said!

presenting

I have just got back from a long day, even had a hair cut. The important bit of the day was a presentation to a groups of ICT specialists/teachers/practitioners on the use and working with adobe dreamweaver. I should be paid by adobe!

It went OK, but as happens so often the wireless internet connection was very poor at the hotel the event was held at so live editing and using html from parent sites or stealing code was impossible. 

Still it was a good bit of positive stress for me.

the weekend

just playing (sorry working) on my Macbook today, trying not to be tempted to tweet on twitter too much, getting increasing annoyed by Facebook and all online social networking sites not really sure why. need to do some video editing, waiting to get Final Cut Studio installed (have to buy it first), premiere and after effects which I have installed take too long.

Have some planning to do that I seem to be avoiding for a presentation I have to give on Thursday to heads of ICT across Cornwall at web site creation using Dreamweaver.
