Whoa, bad few days there…
Got a nasty little tummy bug that appears to be doing the rounds on Wednesday, got given some anti-biotics (three lots thereof) on Friday and then had a serious reaction to them yesterday.
I really didn’t know if it was doomsday or bin day. I felt atrocious. I couldn’t sit down, I couldn’t stand up, I couldn’t concentrate on anything, I had a fever, my eyes hurt, my ears hurt, my head felt like it was filled with thick, sticky ooze.
I stopped taking the anti-biotics this morning, and already I feel a hundred times better.
In the middle of all this the new Mac arrived. I got all the software loaded on, then found out today that the firewire port is duff, so my nice new Firewave surround sound box won’t work. Bah!
Luckily the nice people at Apple are sending a new one out to me and I can keep the current one in the meantime, which, firewire port aside, is absolutely glorious.
I haven’t really had much time to play with FCP yet. I’ve tinkered a little with Soundtrack Pro which looks more than comprehensive enough for the work I’ll need to do on Greetings.
I’m still ploughing through the DAT audio, which although gruelling, is quite entertaining – listening to the snippets of conversation that went on between takes. Unfortunately no juicy gossip thus far…
