Okay, the flood in the studio doesn't really bother me. We didn't lose any important equipment and it wouldn't be mine anyway. Maybe I'm not as loyal to the office as I should be, eh? Some times I'm just too apathetic.
I left the office around 6 or 6:30. The package I've been waiting for was waiting for me when I got home. It contained two fast hard drives and a hard drive controller card. I won't go into the details but I can't set it up the way I intended to and that's very annoying. I sent an email to the tech support of the card manufacturer but I don't expect much.
We were going to work on the color effects for the short film that's been stalled for a while. We're getting close to finishing it, but we have been for quite a while now. Anyway, in order to get a better idea of the coloring I want to see it on a video monitor. The way I can do that by hooking my video camera up to the computer's firewire port. The computer's case has a firewire port on the top that I didn't hook up until recently because I didn't have the right connection inside the computer. I got a different firewire card that has what i thought was the right connector. Apparently it wasn't because after plugging my camera into it, the firewire connection on the camera no longer works. I broke my camcorder. It was an expensive camcorder and I plugged it into something I wasn't sure was wired right. How stupid is that? If I decide to get it fixed I guess It'll just be another $300 "stupidity tax."
argh
Tomorrow I intend to spend $300 on a digital camera. It's used so I'll have to check it out and make sure it's worth it still. If it's in good condition that's a good price. I'll still have to get a lens for it and memory cards and maybe a few other accessories, but it was a $2000 camera body when it came out a few years ago.
ugh. I just can't hold on to money at the moment.
