It has been a while since I have updated my blog and I am not even sure if I have used this title before Work has left my unable to work on many projects at the moment and soon I should be uploading some new content. Until then, …. wow it has almost been a year since my last post…

Exhaustion in the Literal Sense…

Seventh — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:00:56 +0000

This week has been the figurative “power hour” of my job with everhting due all at once both at work and in life. Work wise I worked 23 hours on Tuesday, 12 on Wednsday, 14 on Thursday, 8 on Friday and between yesterday and today I really lost count. I drove quite a ways with the feeling like I could not stay awake but some how I always manage to and I am not talking about feeling tired but being physically left with nothing. And yet there in lies the issue, I get home and I am awake, sleepy but I can not sleep. So here I am trolling the myspace and listing to War of Ages on Pandora.com. I am also instilling the beta of Windows 7 on my UMPC (Samsung Q1 Ultra) aka my small but handy touchscreen PC and reading up on what to do if it fails on the install…. but seriously my experience with vista denotes caution.

The upgrade portion has taken about an hour so far and besides two reboots it has been smooth so far and I am really hoping that it will work with the Q1 hardware and touchscreen. I am hoping that it increases the speed some from the vista edition that came on it as I use it for both GPS and a remote for my Canon XSi. Since I had Vista on there originally I am betting that the majority of the drivers are windows 7 compatible and if not they can be found easily. 32% left to go and them I am heading out for a while, I am always gone that when I get back I feel the need to go do something because I am never around. 34% and my wireless mouse works again.

I am working on a few other projects like a logo for a school, which sadly enough does not look good with metal band type. That is a bit more of a challenge for me because it is a lot more unique that a metal logo or flier which I have been doing for long enough to know well. Schools have to be proper and then also fit the criteria that the school wants, so no flames or bleeding skulls (I hear it frightens the children). 40% and it is still creeping slowly into an install…

Well I want to wait for the Q1 to finish but this is slower than I even though it was capable of for a upgrade on a UMPC that has 3 applications installed on it besides Microsoft software. One is Trillian Astra Beta, my camera remote software and the Canon RAW format decoder… so really not that much. The rest of the hard drive is left empty for when I go take time lapse and use 25 gigs in a nite or 8 hour shot.

It is worth noting that yes I have taken forever to write all this out as my ADD makes it hard to keep focus and my exaustion is getting to me.

I need a shower, back later, much later….

I am taking a break from the photo posts or movie post I have been making on a fairly updated schedule as I have been insane from work. That has limited my time to get all my side projects done, more time lapse footage for the movie I am working (nature), new logo and identity for a private school, and some regular web site updates.

I did though get a new flier done for my friends in Raging Apathy and plan on going to their show on December 26th at Scout Bar.

Also my birthday is coming up on Saturday the 13th so go by me something nice

Shreveport Time Lapse Pt 2

Seventh — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 19:05:09 +0000

So this week I was in Shreveport again to do a interview and I happened to get a better view for some time lapse. The irritating thing is that around 6AM my batteries died on my Canon XSi and I lost what would have been the best part of the time lapse. So it has been noted that I need a grip, or in laymen terms a huge battery pack that fits on the bottom of my camera to allow A/C power and multiple batteries.

Back in town Again

Seventh — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 01:40:22 +0000

Well, whew, what a week(s) as I am inally home for what I hope will be a few weeks before I have to head back out to louisiana again. I was in Shreveport last night and have to get to a interview today but now that I am done with that I can get some rest. I have a meeting with my employees tomorrow and after that I am hopeing to take the next few days off as I deserve them, really I do.

But in the mean time I have a DSLR comtroller I am testing for my laptop so that I can take some cool time lapse photos. I have been taking my canon XSi every where with me and have been taking a ton of pictures to test it out and it preforms great. I was looking for a camera that can take as good pictures as my old Pentax could and it preforms great.

Well off to play some pool and then to play some fooseball….
