When Craig (aka zoomer) was here he “lent” me his old Supacam with the proviso that I start a video blog. But so far I’ve  only added a few very basic home movies to my Live Video page because I still haven’t figured out how to edit stuff. I downloaded some free editing software but it won’t recognise the AVI files from the Supacam. And when I tried using pretty Holly, her MOV files don’t even show up as an option (though they are in the My Videos file).  So … help?

Meanwhile, I shot this short video for Craig the other day.

He’ll know why and will maybe tell you his “tuna story”.

memory stick

Cute, huh?

I bought this last year to transfer files from the old desktop to the laptop – decided to spend a bit more on the charity Oxfam one (also cos I liked the colour). Since then it’s become very useful for collecting music from friends for my iPod.

Today I remembered that one of my students still had my memory stick from a few weeks ago (I’d left it there to get filled up just before I got sick) and so Nog stopped by on his way home from class to pick it up. And … wow! This guy is a musician and has a couple of shops here (percussion instruments and guitars) and he also has the most amazing CD and MP3 collection I’ve ever seen. And so the very eclectic 2 GB music mix I got today is just the tip of the iceberg.

It also gave me a little project to do this morning (synchronizing my iPod). I mean, there’s only so much reading and DVD watching a girl can do . . .

I’m all set now! 🙂

Love the groovy zip-up carrying case too (that came as a surprise when I opened the box). It has a 10-hour battery and comes with European and UK slide-on plug options – very cool. I have it on “shuffle” now and it’s great! At 34 x 9 x 4 cm it would have easily slipped into my suitcase for the Tavira trip so we could have had music in our room. Ah well, next trip …

Am now going to hide my credit card before it melts.
