In Birgir-land they went with Rupture and not Rapture. Also available in non-Bjorkspeak.

Saw a rough cut of the movie for which I recorded dialog. Not bad, but it needs a lot of work still. The two post pivotal scenes look (and SOUND) pretty good. Got paid for a photo shoot I did in early January ...via PayPal e-check, which takes 3-5 business days to clear. Also got an impatient text from the client about an hour after he sent payment. Dude took 4 1/2 months to pay and used a method that won't clear until the end of next week. Also, my sodding blackberry died today, or at least became majorly ill. After two hours of futzing with it, I've got it to boot again. Next step is to back up my data and then test it out. Good thing I'm not trying to do a radio show tonight.

My Blackberry has just been raptured.

Minecraft is srs bsns. If you look closely in the first minute or so, you'll see me riding a pig.

Now running a fresh intall of 10.6.7. I didn't automagically transfer my user data, and have been moving the key bits manually. That's been an epic PITA, but thusfar not a single kernel panic (/me knocks wood.) Still running FFX 3.6 as well. I'll try FFX4 tomorrow, but I'm really wondering if it isn't the culprit.

I ran memtest all overnight, and it completed 6 passes with no errors. I reboot and in less than 15 minutes I get a kernel panic. I only had two apps running: Mail and FFX. I'm beginning to suspect it's sodding FFX4. I've downgraded to 3.6. I'm going to test it for a bit and see if I get and kernel panics. My IT/Mac guru friend has suggested doing a disk wipe and reinstall of the OS. I still have a couple months of AppleCare left. I've got a short laundry list of issues, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility I could bring the lappy in for servicing (and, ahem, cleaning).

Oof. I have been having some horrific issues with kernel panics on my early 2008 MacBook. I ordered 4GB of RAM from MemoryX a few weeks ago. I installed it and ever since then I've been getting increasingly common kernel panics. The first happened when I was running Minecraft, which is a buggy piece of shit still in beta. I've had several more while watching YouTube videos. I downloaded memtest and booted into single user mode. I tested it first with one stick removed, then the other, using "memtest all 2" as prescribed. Both sticks passed fine. Last night I did it again with both sticks installed, and again the test passed completely. A friend of mine suggested it might be an overheating issue. The Macintop's fan runs at full speed when I play back FLV or run Minecraft, but that is to be expected. I had the machine cleaned out a year ago when I took it in for AppleCare servicing. There's some possibility the air path is blocked, but the laptop never feels excessively hot to the touch (just the same temperature it always gets when running processor-intensive apps.) I had another kernel panic today while nothing but FFX, mail, Adium and text edit were open. That's not a huge stress on the system. I'm kind of lost as what to do at this point. My model MacBook was designed to work with 4GB of RAM. Tonight I'm going to try an extended run with memtest on both sticks. Is there anything else I should be trying?

Assuming competent scanning and processing, the colors and contrast say Fuji. Eye-gougingly bad contrast. Gold 400. Kinda ugly. Gold 400 looking better than usual. Either Gold 400 looking better than it should, or mystery film. This one I really can't tell. I think it's hindered by a bad scan. I'm gonna go with mystery film because I can't tell.

^^ Is this a challenge to get me to try to ID which is which?
