Re: The PS/2 Television Network

Hi!

Very nice setup! And a good video, a bit dark maybe, but
the sound is what it is all about. Your steady video-hand
is a joy to watch.

I re-shot a portion of it with a light in my other hand, because it
was just too dark. I figured that for the other shots (the ones where
Defiant is actually playing music) that the sound was indeed the most
important part.

I've done a lot of videotaping over the years, so I've had time to
practice my "video hand". Using a zoom lens will do that!

All the videos you've seen so far were shot with an Olympus digital
still camera that consumes about a billion batteries per minute. It
has a surprisingly good movie mode, though. My old standby (the Sony
camera I've taken pictures with for years now) has a movie mode but no
microphone.

And it's nice to hear your voice all of a sudden after
years of posting quietly...

I wonder if other group members have made any plans to make videos.
I'd like to think I'm not totally alone. :-)

My reaction is a bit late. Had to do some work on the
kitchen.

Ah, the kitchen. My second favorite place to be, outside of the lab.

(Maybe. I put a small kitchen in The Lab's infamous back room...if
only I could find the picture...this will have to do:

In the meantime the kitchen remained fully functional courtesy
of an old 1959 General Electric cooker+oven.

Hard to beat 'em...I don't know if you can wear one out. This isn't
1959, but it's not yesterday:

It's a Hotpoint, but that's just another name for GE. Over the years
it has needed a surface unit control, a burner element and two oven
elements. Oh, and the odd light bulb for the oven light. All the parts
were readily available GE.

I want to find one like it. These "single wide" stoves just don't cut
it. Real stoves have a work area at the side!

BTW How is your mother's car?

Fixed. We fixed some of the lighter damage, and a body shop pounded
out the dents. They didn't replace any body metal, so there are still
some boo-boos. But it's a night and day improvement.

The only really obvious thing is the one shiny-new headlight lens.
It's quite the contrast from the original on the driver's side, which
has become fogged over the years.

And did the deer end up on the barbeque or
what?

Funny you'd mention that. I do think it could have ended up as
someone's dinner. A farmer in a semi pulled up behind my mother after
she pulled over. The farmer took the deer and said he had plans to
prepare it for eating. That wouldn't be my idea of a good dinner, but
I suppose it could very well have been perfectly fine.
