Take one step, and then again....

No comic today. Nursing a nasty headache that has decided to roar back to life with a vengeance.

Dropped frames while recording. I found a nice simple solution to the problem: Delete the dropped frames. The audio locks back into place perfectly. Jenn is a big dunce sometimes.

However, before my head imploded I managed to do this. If you want your mind completely blown (maybe this triggered my headache?), I expect you to watch it:

This is NOT the quality I'm encoding to. In fact, despite this being a pretty darned spiffy capture, the capturing I'm getting is 75% larger, and cleaner, too. The audio blips are on the tape.

Okayyyyy... I just downloaded and looked at the file and I have one thing to say:

What the hell was that?????

I think my brain has just turned to goo...

In the late 80s, Capt. Lou Albano was cast as Super Mario in the Super Mario Brother's Super Show. That was then end credits. :)

Oh, what a terrible shame that we didn't get that here in Britain... It looks really... what's the word... classy. I especially liked the little half-shuffle he does at the very end when he gets wrong-footed by the end of the music. It really shows what the quality of the rest of the show must have been like.

And, if I'm trampling all over your precious childhood memories here then please let me apologise. Hell, all I had to grow up with was Blue Peter and Grange Hill. Oh, and Doctor Who, although in the late 80s that wasn't much good...

Late 80s Dr. Who Sucked?!?! My god, that was SYLVESTER McCOY! He was the best of the best! How dare ye besmirtch his name. :)

And Aces'. :)

I liked the final season of the Sylvester McCoy stuff - it really did feel like it was going somewhere. What a pity it's final location was the dustbin for twenty odd years - but I wasn't too excited about the earlier stuff (although I did watch it all faithfully). And, yeah, Ace was... well, Ace. (And she still looks pretty sexy now. Although Sarah Jane is possibly more gorgeous. And she's on telly tonight! Yay!) I was actually thinking more of Colin Baker's run rather than Sylvester McCoy, anyway. He really wasn't very good, although maybe something good could have happened if his Doctor's story had been allowed to continue as it was intended to. But anyway...

I never liked Colin Baker's Doctor. Not one whit. Even now, all these years later, I have most every Dr. Who episode that exists on tape except for his tenure, and, frankly, I don't plan to fill it out....

And, oh yes. I really hope your headache gets better soon. Definitely not needed at any time...

You know, just once I would like to see a smart person congratulate themselves for working out a problem instead of beating themselves up for not having been born knowing it.

I would have congratulated myself if I hadn't convinced myself that eviscerating a file apart was the solution. If I had this idea right off the bat, I'd be patting myself on the back. :)
