You posted that a full quarter of an hour before midnight. Cannot start a thread, then?

Next Caturday you have Victory Day anyway.

Nobody made a 1 may thread so I guess OT really is dead

Time to celebrate, then!

Even if that was true that'd still be too late

Also I'm failing both assignments due today again

It's possible, with practice, to get really good at failing things. Up to a certain limit, that is.

I'm kind of shocked and horrified at the reaction to an interracial couple in Old NAvy's ads. I mean I expected some timid hand wringing racism, but this is some kkk level of stuff going on here. Someone actually said, "Stop forcing miscegenation down our throats".

At least they didn't call it white genocide?

Coincidentally, "keep OT dead" was the parole I marched under for may 1st. Massive turn-up btw.

Adobe Premiere is driving me nuts .
Wanted to edit a project which had been edited before with an older Adobe CS version.
Turns out suddenly the import of the MP4 files is not anymore possible. Which is actually the right thing, because apparently the recoding was in incompatible formats, MP4 containers don't seem to support uncompressed audio. At least the video is fine.
But that was a whole damn week.
It took me 3 more days to decide for a lossy audio codec and find out what settings to use. Decided for AAC. Adobe Premiere crashes on that.
Seems it also doesn't like AC3 or MPEG2 audio, and also ffmpeg doesn't have stable converters for speex/opus/vorbis (and I cannot use mp3 because I have 4 audio channels). Now I'm at WMA2, which doesn't play on my linux machine, but it at least converts, und plays under Windows. Adobe Premiere still doesn't like it, now the playback is messed up, all goes to fast. Apparently something wrong with the audio settings (what?), guess that will take me a few more days.
The actual editing of the footage should take less than a day.
Efficient time use. At least I don't have much actual work at the moment.
What a waste.

That midterm could have gone better...

 

[gay_Aleks]

But it could have gotten worse!

Although, now that you think about it, this sounds as if I wish for it to be worse for you...

 

[Takhisis]

Well, midterms officially start for Mr. Takhisis today. Eurgh!

Pretty sure this is the end for real this time

also sort of a home exam thing going on this week and the first day I did literally nothing

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well, for once, my mood and the weather seem to be completely synchronising...

both are awful.

 

[Kennigit]

Just waiting for an email that could come 1 second from now or up to 2-3 more weeks

Literally all I am doing

 

[Takhisis]

Besides typing that post, you mean.

You don't know, maybe he had a ghost writer do it for him.

Uh oh. Sounds like Tolni needs a joke.

A horse walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Hey, why the long face?"

 

[Lohrenswald]

If anyone makes a starwars 4 may thread I'll be angry

 

[Takhisis]

Good luck.

Thanks! We'll see how that went.
