Day 1
To has been an eventful day, and a decent amount of humor as well.
*Sigh* That's show biz, I guess
Let's start with my producer, so he rocks up wanting to do some editing on the DVD I'm shooting for him. He's paying someone else to edit it for them but it seems I'm doing most of the work, I asked him what he's paying them for and he said he doesn't know. So we spent about an hour cutting it for them, which I'm still confused as to what they'll actually be doing.
HD-SD
So now he (producer) tells me we are supposed to be using SD instead of HD. Now let's look at the differences. HD is three times the file size of HD and half our 1TB hard drive is full of it. HD tapes cost about $40 per tape while you can get a pack of five SD tapes for $28 and you can only get HD tapes online but you can get them in town here. And the part he's really annoyed about is that he bought a Mac Pro to edit HD and we could have used my laptop for SD
Mp3 player woes
I went to "The Good Guys" chain store to get an mp3 player which was $80 but I got them down to $72, but they have to order a new one in. So I place an order and when I got home I found they has ordered the 2 GB model when I asked an paid for the 4 GB model. So I phone them and tell them how much they screwed up, I've never heard someone more composed when I've been yelling at them :P, and they fixed it up for me (eventually). The manager rung me back and said it had been corrected, he's sorry, they made a typo, he's sorry, the 4 GB is on it's way, he's sorry.
Halo: Combat evolved
FINALLY! I love this game! I ordered it online a few days ago and it came today, really good people to deal with. Their website is www.game.com.au for those is Australia, these guys have the lowest prices and fast delivery. Anyway, I played the first level and it was cool! Just like a movie! (I'll make one some day) I was doing the tutorial and was halfway through, as in only just figured out how to move, when aliens (the covernat) boarded the ship. So they throw you into the situation like in a real movie and expect you to survive. I did BTW. I'm amazed at all the references to "Marathon" in the game.
