Recorded a tune and made a movie... what did you do today?

It was raining here pretty-well all day. Bored!!!!! I was meant to go to Cooma again, but not when it's wet.

I rarely have time to myself, so I took full opportunity of said wet weather - so I made a movie while testing out a prospective new synthesizer. Footage is from my 5D Mark II of stuff in my studio.

It's only a quick dabble, so musically it's not anything. That comes tonight - hopefully after a few beers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97MM1MsOxTM (headphones or proper speakers please)

What did you get up to today? Anything constructive?

Today... I gurneyed the verandahs, patios and paths around the house to remove all the bird droppings that accumulated while we were away in the morning and this afternoon I formatted the C: drive on my desktop and reinstalled windows... oh, the joy!

I'll have a listen and a look when I'm in off peak time (I've given my peak bandwidth a flogging today).

That's very cool, Chris! Someone needs to let the ARIA chart folks know

Meanwhile, today, I made some pictures of a Very Unusual Pumpkin

I took my classic Merc 450 SLC for a spin and had a $10 pepper steak at a country pub. The went to a chinese restaurant with my grand kids and son and partner. All in all a good cloudy day not wasted.

Since 20:45 we've had one thunderstorm (still going), lost both power phases once for maybe 30 secs (one UPS kept one computer up, other UPS didn't keep other one up), lost one phase a second time (still out 30 mins later), garage flooded, dog scared out of his wits.

And the radar shows another thunderstorm heading our way.

Drove to work (in the rain!)...visited 7 wet crime scenes...drove home (in the rain!) scooped leaves and bluegum bark out of the pool for half an hour (yep, in the rain!) It's still raining. Got a fair bit of stuff done though, so yeah, quite constructive. Rainy days are good for getting things done, obviously.

Thanks Bart

My astronomy and associated astro gear have now taken a very distant back seat to this. Not completely sure that it actually interests me any more.
