Welcome to IWETHEY!

New further to turd
The jury duty was really most unfortunately timed, and I'm now a week out from my drop-dead date. I feel rather like a handyman my wife engaged a couple of years ago to duplicate an elaborate cabinet door. He presented himself as a master woodworker, and quoted a reasonable estimate, but the job turned out to be the other side of his skill set. I don't think he realized this at the outset, but he certainly understood it at the end, by which time I think he'd actually acquired some chops the hard way. The promised product and the finished product did not quite congrue. We paid the guy the agreed-upon price (although we felt that the door as delivered was markedly inferior to the model) and not his suggested treble-sum ("It took much longer than I thought it would!").

This is rather how I feel about this video project. I blame myself: I've known for a long time that it would be useful to work up some video-editing chops beyond those rudimentary moves I presently possess, and there's no reason I couldn't have diverted some time and energy to this end. Because I have been negligent I realized today that ten hours of image processing from Monday will have to be done over again.

I venture to hope that, like the unfortunate woodworker, I will emerge from an undertaking for which I was woefully underqualified at the outset with a few tricks and techniques I had not troubled to master hitherto.

cordially,

The prospect of being hanged in the morning concentrates a man's mind wonderfully, as Samuel Johnson, who never as far as we are aware found himself obliged to gather his thoughts under like circumstances, famously observed. Under the gun, and with the Apple software currently available having been deliberately crippled since Cheney was president, I have lost days before at last stumbling upon a third-party solution, not elegant, that looks as though it can deliver a solution "good enough." I'm going to work this weekend to make "good enough" as good as it can be, the while hoping that Apple hasn't any further nasty surprises waiting for me on the DVD authoring end.

Aside: I'm not a Mac high-end professional, much as I'd like to be, but I've hung out with that crowd in living memory, and most of these are old-timers who've traditionally bought Apple hardware at the upper end, and who feel, not without justice, that their custom helped keep the beleaguered company's nostrils this side of the surface tension during its direst period prior to the Return of the King. My take is that this class is not feeling the love much these days. Apple may have repositioned itself to face the consumer market, but with its zillions of dollars in the bank I think they'd do well to start salting away some goodwill from those old graphics professionals against the next fall of snow.

cordially.
