Today has been the best day in a LOONNG time. Believe it or not, it was the first day of school. If you all remember, I am going to that tech school. Today was not terribly eventful at school, but heres what I know so far: tomorrow they hand out each student a palm m130 full color palm. To keep. Then in a week or two, they hand out each student a laptop. NOt just any lappy, but a gateway. Here are what the specs are rumored to be: Intel p4 1.6ghz, 512 mb (ddr?) ram, 20 gig hdd, dvIN, analog video out, 16x cd-rw/dvd combo drive, and a boatload of other stuff. Anyway, on top of THAT good day, I came home to find a photoshop 7.0 upgrade, and Adobe Premiere 6.5 FULL VERSION!!!!!! That is awsome. For those of you who dont konw, it is a $550-ish video editing program. I am stoked. I can make movies now. Look for a new video of the boat. Anyway, I am on my laptop right now because I am erasing and re-installing the flash rom on my AMD box. It has been acting up lately during startup, and I am pretty sure thats the problem. It takes about an hour, so I am antsy to get ack to premiere... BTW, premeiere came bundles with dvdit 2.5, so it you want a permanent copy of a future film of mine, I can send you a vcd or (hopefully) a dvd rom in the future. For those of you who know cameron and clint, I am supposed to make their music video, and I am aout 10 minutes into our vacation video. THEN, i need to make a ideo of my cousins wedding for which we have 3 or 4 hours of footage that needs to be cut into the space of 30 to 40 minutes, with massive editing. wish me luck.
flash rom is 16% done...
