I'm working on my second CD of movies and photos for the grandparents in the US. It's really fun doing all this. I've found the code to make these cool pulldown menus which you see at the top. They follow the top of your page, regardless of how far down you scroll your page down, and I can update them by only changing one file per directory.
The video editing is cool, although the process is not as exciting or challenging anymore, the results are very worthwhile to me. I'm about to get the movies from our visit to the US last year and convert them from video-tape onto computer. So the next CD will have the boys feeding the fish with Dad & Kris and playing silliness in the hotel room, Mom reading them "Thud Thud" and stuff.
Have you heard all about our fuel crises over here? There's a few people in my team to didn't make it in to work today cause of the protests and stuff. Folks are blocking the fuel depots because of our 90-something percent tax on fuel.
We were planning to visit Lucy's grandparents today, but the car only has 1/2 a tank of petrol in it and we don't know how many weeks it'll be before we'll be able to fill it up again. We stayed around the house. I tool Danny to his swimming lessons (took Simon and Danny's friend Peter as well). Peter happens to be having lessons at the same time, Simon just came along for the ride. Then we dropped Danny and Peter 'round Peters because Danny was very kindly invited to play with him for the day. Simon and I had each other all to ourselves for the whole Day (Lucy and Ian was there, but we didn't notice--almost). We got a few more boxes from Lucy's folks place down from the attic and sorted thru it, then when Danny got back they played the Elmo computer game for a bit before we all walked (and bicycled and tricycled) to the park for a change of scenery.
Now Lucy's downstairs watching TV and feeding Ian and I'm trying to get these menus to work and make sure all the photos for the old Journal Pages are right.
