Haha… This is cool/ Funny.

Crude the movie

CheYo XimeneZ — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:32:30 +0000

Now here is an issue that I first heard on NPR and now it has been made into a film. I haven’t seen the film but It looks like its going to be a good. It is suppose to be based on real events and it seems like it is. My guess is that texaco is going to get away with this and nothing is going to be done to fix it because of corruption.

Drobo DroboPro Droboness Drobolisious

CheYo XimeneZ — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:55:38 +0000

I didnt really want to jump on the drobo bus but after spending about 3000 d

ollars on storage solution that just fail why not spend half on something that is not going to fail. —well, thats it for marketing. This is why I would wait to buy the drobo: Firewire800 usb 2.0

I am a video editor and yes I need the bandwith specialy with HD footage but why would I consilidate my storage if I dont gain any speed? Granted is not drobos fault that we havent seen hardware for firewire1600 or usb 3.0 but Ill know when to buy drobo when firewire1600 and usb 3.0 comes out only then it will make sence to get rid of all my drives and more to a centralize solution that is going to last me a least a few years.

UPDATE:

Another set back of the Drobo is that the Data Read and Write are not that fast compared to stand alone external drive.

BELOW : Standard firewire speed: Average 80MB/s compared to about Average 45MB drobo.

Finances and US economy

With the fall of my favorite bank ( WaMu ) and the difficult times that banks face internationaly, I cant help but to think on what will happen to our economy. I am talking about US, or Global economy; I am talking about indivial economy.

Check your credit online for free

with freecreditreport.com and get a free credit report but of course you have seen the funny commercials. Also you can go to annualcreditreport.com but for some reason at the time of this writing the site is down,( everything with the US is down)

Keep track of your spending online.

I use Mint.com While quicken seem to work ok too and it has a now free online service I started using Mint and so far I like it a lot. It lets me know how much I owe and my total worth, haha, which by now with all my student loans added it about -50,000 dollars and guess what? I just moved and I am looking for a job.

Random stuff:

Unless you want to wait in a line, never go to a bank after a holy day or on Mondays because more that likely its going to be full and you are going to waste your time. haha, funny my mom said the same thing about going for a check up, she said that Mondays is packed cause all the people that get sick during the weekend come on mondays.

Commercials Money Tree Videos

Lots of companies invest ton on money on ads, just yesterday I was helping out with an ads campaign for money tree which was pretty funny. The above is one of their adds but its not the one I was working on.

cheers.

Save up for hard times, and dont use money tree often.

Final Cut 6 and NL video editing.

CheYo XimeneZ — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:30:48 +0000

I started editing video with final cut since version 5. I was lucky enough to go to a college that had a mac computer lab and I was able to edit most of my church project on the mac. Prior to using the FCP (Final Cut Pro) I used Sony Vegas. Vegas was a joy when I started to edit video. I remember the countless hours that I would work on my computer editing .avi video and all the frustration times that I found myself in when windows will crash or when the render time will take hours and hours and I was an a reliability fast computer at the time in fact no much faster than what I am using now, the only difference is that with vegas I was using a desktop and Now I use my laptop. Anyways, Switching from Vegas to Final Cut was not so easy, With Vegas I had no limits on what I could use yet I had more problems With Final cut I had more restriction as far as what kind of quicktime fine I could use and audio compression etc. But now I realize that those restrictions were in place to make my life easier in the long run also it allowed me to understand the workings of files.

Recently our lab was upgraded to final cut 6.0.4

and while I was been using final cut studio 2 four about a year the little 6.0.x are not backward compatible meaning that anything created with final cut 6.0.3 was not compatible and other computers was is odd but thats the way it is with final cut. Little advice. DONT EVER UPGRADE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROJECT!!! NEVER!! You are not a beta tester and unless your program is not working the way it is suppose to, Don’t ! ! it will be pain. Well I upgraded and BOOM my file that I had been working for the past year ( its a comp that I am always updating) stopped trying to render!!! what that heck? It would not render. There was a “general Error’ well it would have been fine but I had a dead line at 9am the next day and it was already 10pm. I googled my fingers away trying to find an option. See it is fine if you are going to start a new file but the old files don’t transfer that well most of the time. I searched and searched and it was about 6 in the morning when I found the error. What was the error? I had downloaded some pictures off my email and had included them in the composition. All I had to do was to open up those pictures and save them again. And presto! my file rendered and I had lost a night of sleepy time and I was tired but I met the dead line and that is what is more important.

I love working with final cut in dual screen mode because I have a laptop and the screen gets to small when working on a long project but there is a glitch in final cut 6 under tiger and I don’t even know if it is resolved in Leo 10.5 but after a while the screen flickers the video and I have to restart final cut. At any rate the advantage of having an extra screen to have your time line is so great because it allows you to work faster.

Your typical sunday service at my church.(jk)
On a more serious note, today is the 11 of September and of course everybody remembers and while remembering is ok, we can not afford to live in the past.

Tim Hawkins – Cletus Take the Reel. (English only)

On a more serious note.

I am moving back to seattle. I am allowing things to just flow and I am not going to go against the current.

Sometimes we think that we have control over every single aspect on our life when in reality there is something much much bigger that keeps things going around (wheel or reel, you pick). While I am not a philosopher, I am a pratical person and I understand the notion on timing. I moved to california in 2004 and I have now been here for nearly four years, going to school, meeting very interesting people etc. But it was just a season. I have changed so much since I have been away. Its a good thing. At anyrate, Now it feels that the current of time or should I say flow of time. Its taking me back to Seattle and It feels like the right thing. Cheers
