Work, damn it! WORK!

We recently purchased a new digital video camera at the office. The idea being that we can take the raw footage and make videos for a variety of uses (training, recording meetings, staff outtings, etc.). The camera is easy enough to use and does a good job of recording, plus it has a digital photo feature that allows you to also take still shots - albeit at just "good enough" quality. The only problem seems to be with trying to get the video off-loaded and onto a computer!

Wasting 2-1/2 hours trying to get the darn camera to connect to a workstation is not my idea of fun. I'm a computer guy, so hooking up a device to a computer shouldn't be a problem. I tried to connect it to a Mac, but it didn't seem to like that, so then I tried connecting it to my computer (a Windows PC) and still no dice. Trying to find info on Canon's website wasn't easy, and still did not get me any closer to making it work.

It looks like I'll be wasting more of my time dealing with this thing than my boss would like. Lucky for me, he totally understands that it isn't an issue with my skills and is being patient enough to let me work it through. I might have a new video for you to watch soon, if I can get this P.O.S. to cooperate. Wish me luck!

In other news, it seems that many of my co-workers have registered a profile at www.myspace.com. I've spent a little bit of time on my account there, lately, adding some content so I don't look like a total fool. Mostly it just directs people to come here and read my blog or visit my web site. I basically had an account there because other friends wanted me to check out their profiles, so now I have one and now a lot more people that I know do as well. I guess it's one of the cool things to be part of these days... whatever.

Anyhow, if you haven't already had enough of me, you can check out my profile at:
