CHAPTER 1.0

Whew. What a day it has been. On Tuesday I got Avid Xpress DV 3.5, so thinking that it would be a good time to do a reinstall to treat the app with the utmost of respect, I went ahead and repartitioned, reformatted, and reinstalled. It actually took all day. I picked up a copy of Norton Systemworks 2002 for antivirusing and Ghost imaging, so there I was, in front of me was the freshest, cleanest install, ready to go and bursting with fruit flavor. 7 CD-Rs later, I had a brand new set of drive images.



CHAPTER 1.1

I followed in the footsteps of the former self I had been the night previous, this morning, then I awoke. I had a nice brisk walk on my way to Starbucks for a Venti House Coffee with two shots of expresso (or as I am so consistently corrected, the right syntax is add shot).





I pass the Zen Center ( red brick building) and the US Mint (they only make coin at this one, scary though the guards and the barbed wire) going home.

Eager to get into Avid and start editting, I whip out the tutotial CDs and begin a reinstall. Last night one of the files I believe it was car with cows has dropped playback so I assume that it is a bad media file and want to begin anew. I begin to realize that this is not going to be easy.



CHAPTER 2



I sit here trying to conceive of the best way to detail the sheer frustration in which I participated, to come to know that in fact it doesn't matter. I had to reformat and reinstall again. The disk images failed. C'est la vie.



It is late. I am beginning to grant sleep thoughts that endear. One last photo upload:
