shadows excerpt

This is an excerpt from a work in progress video project.

I’m actually not going to use this footage, as much as I like it. I want to redo it in widescreen format. An HD video camera would also be nice, but HD for home movies is overkill and I don’t think I make these often enough to justify the expense.

The music is from Matthew Nichols, who I’ve written about before.

I love it when a plan comes together

With some help from Daniel Jalkut, Dave Dribin, Chris Hanson, and of course Andy Matuschak’s Sparkle and Reinvented Software’s Feeder, I finally have a system for pushing Gusto updates that are tied to SVN revision numbers. Once it works, it works pretty good. I might run into some trouble in the future if I were to use a different tree than trunk, but that’ll be a good ways away.

I’m not too worried either because:
a) agvtool will let me set whatever version and marketingversion I want
b) Sparkle will let me explicitly name the next version

Okkervil River

Super song about imagining what it’d be like if the American president was assassinated. This is not a political song. It’s about the spectacle and watching such an event from the sidelines. About huge national catastrophes that affect everyone and define generations.
