Heh heh heh!
Yeah, I figured you wouldn't tempt fate with a van.
Well, I've had a good Christmas. A few toys, nothing computer related. The
only downside is that my A3000T's left-mouse-button function isn't
working. It's not the CIA's and it's not the mouse, so when I get some
money together, I'll try and get it repaired. The repair tech thinks it
might be a shorted circuit. I'm using my keyboard to emulate the left
mouse click, but it apparently does not fully emulate it. It works on most
software, but on some, it doesn't do a thing.
The video project I had been working on fell through. My boss decided he
didn't have the $$$ to pull it off in the quality he wanted. We could have
done it, but he wanted it done "right" by hiring professionals to direct,
etc.
CanDo 3 came out, but I can't afford the upgrade at this time. Too steep
for me. So I'll plug away with CanDo 2.51. At least I upgraded my
Imagemaster R/t to 1.50C, and it is great. Ben is supposed to have a more
major update soon.
I'm still trying to find someone who wants to trade their older Toaster
(1.0/2.0) for my studio camera. I've had a couple of nibbles, but nothing
serious.
Some local lads are trying their hand at developing some Amiga software
and I might be helping out with the graphics end. We'll see if they can
pull it off.
I might be posting an early Imagine 3.0 model of my Cerberus spaceship
sometime. When the video project was cancelled, I was told that I could do
whatever I wanted to with the models.
I still have The Producer project. It's sitting unfinished. I would like
to get back to it, but it depends on how things go.
I have to ask Jerry if he'd put some Framestores of some example work to
tape for me. The G-Lock I'm using putters out when used with the A1200.
Seems to work fine on my A3000T, but I don't have a 24 bit card or AGA on
it, so that leaves that out.
Oh, and I think you know that I'm on Internet now via Edmonton FreeNet.
It's a fantastic thing to be involved with! I also get a message lists for
Babylon 5 and the Toaster/LightWave. I know I can access B5 here, in
SFMEDIA, but it's free for me on Internet.
How's your demotape? Has it developed into an even more eye-catching item,
or did our suggestions mess it all up? *8^)
