The Results of a Newborn…
Jul 30th
Well, it’s not really the results, more of a by-product of having a new-born in the house. here’s what has transpired since the arrival of Tiiu (and slightly before her arrival!).
- rawl.ca – obviously you’re following this website. But since Blogger decided not to support the FTP i was lost to get on something. I was playing with the WordPress format, but I couldn’t get the MySQL databases right…after some emailing, fiddling and reading, I got them running and VOILA! the new and improved Rawl.ca.
- Basic Flash videos – I did some basic flash vids, as I was wondering how to do some simple animation. I found that there is a ‘anime’ program that people use to make anime, so I’m on the prowl for that piece of software
- Vlogs – yeah, new camera, time to spare, and a yearning to get rawl.ca cannibalized. From text to speech, that’s a different direction for Rawlio’s world.
- Video-editing – I’m playing with iMovie currently, but i got hold of a copy of Final Cut Express. I wanted to play with Final Cut Pro, but my little macbook is not really wired for that kinda output.
- Sequencing – this was Post-Tiiu. I got some songs done with Garageband. I’ve been trying to find a working copy of CuBase, but for some reason, It doesn’t want to work on this machine….some more playing and research, I’ll get it done. My Goal is to try to make a rap/hip-hop song before the summer’s out.
- Macbook Streaming to PS3/xBox360 - I’ve played with some audio/video streaming with this. I wanted to get a ‘media server’ running in the house, but it requires the mac to be on….hmm..how do I get around that?
- Mad-torrents – I’ve been torrenting more than ever. I know that everyone, and their Chinese cousins have been burning movies to disc, but I wanted to try to see if i could do that. Again, I’m torn to do it. Not for the moral issue, but more of the ‘collector’ issue. People seem to do these mad-torrent burns of movies…watch them, then they sit in a spindle of movies for a long time. Linda and I watch streamed shows…and I think we’ll continue to do that.
- Music Video? Home Reno Video? Me hanging out video? – I’ve got some ideas for some videos…why videos? Storage space. On Youtube, you can upload your vids, and they store them. Me? I’m using up my limited Web-space with some pictures..which I have figure out where I can put them..or just keep rotating them. i’m not sure.
So, what’s next? I was toying with a Rawlio – FAQ, but that’ll be just for my entertainment. Who knows? ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Oh, I should do a contact page, shouldn’t I?
The Blog…
Jul 19th
What is Rawlio’s world? I know I started this blog as just an experiment to see what I can write. I’m not a great writer but I try. My better posts have been written and edited a few times before they became public.
But every so often i think about redefining the Blog…giving it a direction…a purpose.
I know all good blogs and such have a specific purpose, which mine does not.
A good blog is consistently updated for readers to read posts. Mine isn’t.
A good blog has to be meaningful for it’s readers. Mine..not so much.
It’s more of my little experiment with my own self. I’ll have thoughts and ideas that i post as a web-based soliloquy. maybe that’s what the title should be.
Suppressing Intelligence was an idea from Linda. It’s nice to have input from people who care about you,but sometimes these ideas must be placed in the ‘suggestion box.’
I know that I’ve even done some podcasts, which I’ll post sometime soon. i’m not sure if I want too, as the podcasts take up space on my server. I can upload videos to YouTube, which they host the videos…but podcasts? I need to find someone to keep ‘em…
Or, I only have on hand, a couple at a time.
Who knows? Experimenting continues.
Archives are now working…almost…
Jul 18th
So, I got most of the archives working. I’ve got February 2004 – March 2008.
I’ll figure out how to add April 2008-April 2010 soon.
Baby Tiiu
Jul 16th
Well, Back in WordPress…
Before I explain…
July 9th, 2010. 6:07am.
Little Tiiu Chan came out at 9lbs, 10oz (4.3Kg) with a height of 22″ (54cm).
Here’s a little pic…
Sorry folks for this being so long. I’ve been trying to get this up and running and I kept having issues with my Database hosts and stuff. Then, Linda was getting more and more pregnant and we were just busy making sure things were set for us to get ready for a little one…
I’m jumping a bit, but I’m trying to get a hang of this new system…
I’ve got my old archives still, so I’ll be figuring out how to get those to work…
I’m back…baby. With a baby.
Oh, if you’re curious…Linda is fine. The Delivery was fine along with everything else. So far, a healthy little girl.
