As I previously mentioned my interest was decreasing and now it has completely gone, profiles have been disconnected and apps deleted of my phone. It has been an experience, some people seemed genuine, others were only after one thing and on tinder there is a ridiculous amount of couples looking for someone to join them in the bedroom I kept a log of my favourite pick up lines, the type of individuals on the apps, what I liked and what I disliked.

Favourite pick up line ever:. With the log I kept, I started to record myself discussing my experience and why I ended up deleting the apps. About 2 hours of stopping and restarting because I can not start recording with out laughing, I have the final shots for my short film and I officially hate the sound of my own voice I will continue to edit next week. I spent my evening finishing my blog and more editing on premier pro, due to not been in college the editing has been a struggle however with the use of Youtube and Instagram I have watched tutorials and managed to progress with the first two minutes of footage.

Honestly trying to put a final edit together has been a nightmare, I now have about 3 hours of footage since I did more recording due to the fact I can't look at the camera without laughing and consistently messing up my words I would be no good in TV trying to cut it down to 5 minutes is a long process, I currently have 2. A motivated day spent finishing editing my short film, I had to cut a few shots from the start to shorten to five minutes.

The final outcome is not exactly what I wanted but due to current circumstances and not been in college I believe I have done fairly well.

Export time is 3 hours 45 minutes Tutor provided additional ways to export however the wait time was 4 hours 35 minutes. Once I came back I was still unable to export so I tried every different export document. Since I have had issues with exporting I decided to re-edit the film, in doing so I have managed to export the film but only the first 2 mins provided video and only audio for the remaining 3 minutes.

I don't belong in the film editing industry Group Microsoft teams video call to briefly discuss final evaluations, re-cap with the help of the brief on exactly what needs to be submitted on Friday 26 March for final submission.

I spent the afternoon uploading my final short film to YouTube, proof read my blog and completed a final evaluation. Final Submission Day. All work has been submitted.

Feedback from Tutor. The news every student wants to hear So my video decides to cut out after a minute to a black screen and you can only hear my voice in the audio. Tutor has asked me to send the documentary video to him different way so he can review and provide a grade. Now to top things off my file for the video has crashed and when I try to open the project on Adobe Premier Pro to export again some of the footage can not be found I want to cry rn.

Since I no longer have a documentary to export I took this as an opportunity to create a new one as I was not happy with the final footage for the previous one as you can read in my final evaluation So I spent today shooting new footage and created my video project on iMovie which I found so much easier and it exported in 2 minutes!

With this new edit I was able to use transitions and intro music. Film production sets are often a chaotic place with dozens of crew members working together to get a memorable shot. Film sets typically include heavy set pieces and props, on set injuries are very common. Crew members must often juggle heavy equipment and props to deliver the visual look and feel directors seek.

Injuries and deaths were extremely common in the early days of Hollywood film making period. Injuries in film production include:. Injuries from pyrotechnic effects, explosives and incendiary devices. Luckily I am will be filming in my home studio where I have completed my own risk assessment. Virtual Dating: Lockdown Edition. For this project we were briefed to create a short film which would tell an isolation story in five minutes, this was not the original brief but due to social distancing and lockdown we had to compromise.

My first idea was to create a documentary on my life as a student working from home but then it came to mind Based on typical watts of electricity consumed by computers, a day on Second Life therefore consumes about 60, kilowatt-hours. So check the world electricity usage stats and that's a close measure to the daily electricity used by an average person in Brazil.

Now should we measure the lost productivity in the world economy by people creating and dressing these fake personas? An executive at Sun MicroSystem's Dave Douglas took this moral dilemma a step further and calculated the CO2 emissions greenhouse gasses from the production of all this electricity. That's the equivalent of driving an SUV around 2, miles or a Prius around 4, Labels: productivity , the state of technology , web. Thursday, July 19, Information grab by Google?

Instead of celebrating the behemoth, it dug into assessing the scope of the enterprise, questioning the right of one company to collect all the world's information. I've long suspected Google and other big internet firms were on that path. I listened with interest as Brewster Kahle, the man who made a fortune with the Alexa search engine, and founded the Internet Archive in discussed the issue.

Unlike Google, the Internet Archive purpose is: " offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format. The business model for Google is sound: give information away for free, get money from advertisers. But who owns that information? We do. And, while it is clear that large internet companies collect user data, they are also giving that information away, either through strategic alliances, or if the government demands it.

Do you want all your private photos, email , address, web search history and files on your computer archived forever by them? And given or sold to others? The Internet archive has received a grant to challenge Google Library's right to own digital book rights. Are you still with me? Contrary to Google's efforts to capture and digitize books from the world's libraries, the Open Content Alliance , is a joint effort by the Internet Archive, Yahoo and Microsoft to digitize library collections, including those of the University of California system and The University of Toronto.

Unlike a similar project from Google, which allows users to read the digitized content only through Google's Web site, the OCA material will be searchable through any service and everyone will be encouraged to download books.

Who's to say Google will always live by its 'do no evil' motto, once they compile more information than any other source? Who's to say what is free on the web today won't suddenly require prices once needed information is locked up by a corporation? I'm only asking the questions, here. I don't have the answers, but hope you'll spend a few minutes noodling the ethical dilemma posed by the problem. Labels: Google , internet , the state of technology , update. I burned my finger with a too-hot touchpad.

Here's my solution: I love using my notebook computer, all day, every day, from cafe, to client, to summer on the balcony. My Averatec notebook has a speedy built-in touchpad but lately it has become so HOT I'm hurting my fingers.

While waiting for tech support to determine if there is a recall notice, I switched to my wireless mouse. The connector looks just like a thumb drive. When you roam, you pull the USB out, snap it onto the bottom of the mouse and you're ready to go. Without a rolling ball on the bottom, the mouse works on any surface, knee, dashboard, even on your laptop wrist rest.

I have been using it lately as a portable mouse wherever I go and it is fantastic. Office Max has a big selection, and I'm sure other retailers do too.

If your computer is slowing down, it is not likely due to the number of files you've saved. No need to feel guilty and start emptying the trash.

It's more likely the amount of random access memory RAM. I know what you're thinking: The computer has the same amount of memory it did when it was new.

Why wouldn't it be enough now. Well, more programs, like web browsers and Microsoft Office use much more memory. They are now graphic-intensive resource hogs. The less memory you have, the slower the computer is to switch between programs, open and close files, and save your data. The more time you're online, the slower it works, perhaps needing a reboot to refresh the memory.

When memory is unavailable, the computer starts using disk space for temporary, virtual storage. Memory is an expensive component of computers so PC manufacturers skimp on memory. If you can, next time, buy a computer with double the original memory. For now, if your computer acts downright lazy, the easy solution is to double the memory.

Here's what's on the minds of my clients: 1. Should I buy another Windows XP computer while they are still available? Answer: Yes. Don't get Vista unless you have lots of spare time to play around with it.

What's the easiest backup method. Email is becoming a terrible, messy burden. Answer: I know, I know. The best strategy is to reply, file or delete. Don't let the Inbox, Sent or Trash build up to hundreds of messages. It's anxiety-producing and inefficient.

Read, Act, or Dump, that's all we can do. Isn't there an easier way to find my files? Answer: Windows Explorer with it's nested folder system, and quick search ability is the best we've got for now. It does take time to manage, but it takes less time than paper files. Make folders, drag your stuff into them, and do a backup.

Then, grab a book and go to the swimming pool to relax. There is an entire chapter in Computer Ease on handling these mundane tasks.

Chicago Tribune columnist, Jim Coates, a nationwide favorite, is retiring today. He provided more laughs, compassion and clarity than any other tech columnist in the country.

No one could sort out the facts, labor hours over re-creating errors, testing software, interviewing company execs, and sniffing out the truth about the way things work. Here at Computer Clarity I always thought the battles I fought to make things right for clients were in unison with Jim and his thinking about the way technology should work, so I'll miss his columns. His retirement may be the start of a book career, so we haven't heard the last of him. Labels: productivity. Saturday, May 26, Life - stored in computers.

Computers are fantastic for data storage, but there's so much more than can do. I've long followed the work of Gordon Bell, a year-old Microsoft engineer who is gathering all the elements of his life into a digital storage system. His project, My Life Bits , is sponsored by Microsoft. Bell's biggest challenge is to come up with a meaningful use for such a powerful collection of life's flotsam.

More to the point, it might get you thinking about what you'd like to log as the memorable events of your own life. From the compulsive diaries of Samuel Pepys, the attention and introspection of such records is surely a noble effort, but I fear, one that I'd be incapable of stopping once started.

Another Microsoft researcher, Eric Horvitz, has intriguing ideas about creating a computer that could think like us. His Lifebrowser project uses a computer to do so much more than we've ever thought of. When computers are still, he feels they could be put to use to understand our minds, catalog and organize our memories, and " help you be a better you.

Using a Palm LifeDrive I'm able to capture more than 4 GB of data - all contacts, calendars, photos, books, business files in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, accounting, wi-fi, email, web pages and more more more. I'm listening to MP3 recordings of a conference I attended last month, simultaneously taking notes and researching web sites of the speakers.

What's different is that information can be readily shared, accessed from anywhere, and massive storage space is free. It includes simple, and even free, tools and applications, like Picasa for photo management.

The broader concept is: "web-based software services" that encourage users to become more involved with information. If someone searches for an apartment on Nob Hill, they can click the map to view the actual neighborhood and street.

My most recent article is a cover story about augmented reality called Mirrorworld. It describes what I believe will be what happens after the web and smart phones. Borrowing from the Net-based grassroots techniques of the recent political season, the Firefox inner circle has turned satisfied users into foot soldiers and missionaries. How's this for a marketer's dream: In the weeks following the debut, Firefox contributors and fans threw their own launch parties in cities around the world.

Firefox the browser is an impressive piece of software. It's easy to use, easy on the eyes, and safer than IE - partly because it's too new to have amassed a following of evil hackers.

Firefox the phenomenon is something much bigger. It's a combination of innovations in engineering, developer politics, and consumer marketing. Computer users embraced the browser almost immediately. Mark Fletcher, founder of Bloglines, a weblog-aggregation service, reports that Firefox rocketed from 5 percent of Bloglines' server traffic to 20 percent in the month after the beta version was released.

Software developers are on board, too - Ross and Goodger made sure that writing Firefox add-ons would be simple. Coders have created more than extensions that perform specific, sometimes delightful functions, like incorporating an iTunes controller in the browser's border or a three-day weather forecast that pulls data from Weather. Two popular extensions make it easier to subscribe to RSS feeds through Bloglines. At BoingBoing, nearly half of all visitors are already using Mozilla browsers. Whatever success Firefox sees, it will come from social engineering as much as software engineering.

Firefox has been the product of a massive get-out-the-vote effort. While Goodger was refining Firefox code, Ross started Spread Firefox, a community site that hosts Firefox blogs and gives points to a volunteer army of operatives for converting the masses.

Spread Firefox has served as the engine of an impressive fundraising campaign put together by zombie victim Rob Davis. The Firefox ad ran in the Times on December 16, featuring the name of every donor in barely readable, 4. OK, time for a reality check. Explorer is still the choice of 90 percent of Internet users. As user-friendly as Firefox may be, most of its current users are early-adopter types, bloggers, people with an ideological aversion to Microsoft.

The number of Firefox downloads will surely slow, maybe even plateau, when the supply of easy converts runs dry. But Firefox doesn't have to overtake IE to cause havoc in Redmond. Microsoft had essentially given up on Internet Explorer development - focusing instead on its next-gen OS, Longhorn. With Longhorn, the company hopes to make the stand-alone browser obsolete by incorporating Web browsing into the desktop. Until a few months ago, it looked like the shift to Longhorn would give Microsoft control of the Web's de facto standards.

Now, with Microsoft's share in the browser market slipping - IE has lost 5 percent in the past six months, almost all of it to Firefox - Web designers can't afford to ignore the standards of Tim Berners-Lee's W3C, which Mozilla has hewed to but which Microsoft has regarded as strictly optional. Officially, Microsoft addresses Firefox with a sharp-toothed smile and open arms.

The day that the Firefox ad ran in the Times, Microsoft made a less-splashy announcement of its own - it acquired anti-spyware software maker Giant.
