Crashing My Computer

Hunter Killer vs Cyberforce sounds like an excellent idea for a picture if the story is good. Maybe I'll have to pick up the comic. I bet that somebody has it in development.

I think this clip below has good music for a shootout. They go for very light percussion during the gunfire and instead do quick descending flute lines (could be synth, could be real flutes, dunno). Speaking of which, I want good free Mellotron flutes.

A manager for deleteing/creating/saving Final Cut Pro preference files -- Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager. They also make an app called Compressor Repair.

You realize that I only know this because FCP crashed during the night. Oddly, it only took out one render from Compressor as it did so. It seems to have partially re-launched FCP and is working on the next render. Interesting. We'll see what happens.

Google has an offline version of their webmail in "labs". We'll see how that is as a backup for Gmail.

We have just under 130000 frames in the movie. We're rendering RS422 at about 80 frames a minute. That gives us a little more than a day to render out this one version. I bet the DVCPro HD would have been faster if it hadn't crashed. Phoo...*

*Update: guess what render crashed? Hooray!
