Searching

The Gorse Fox spent some more time searching for the small batch of access cards, membership cards, railway passes and so forth. Again he is proud to say that his idea of hiding them somewhere safe has proved to be immensely secure. Again he has has been thwarted in his hunt for them.

The other, non work-related, task has revolved around video production (though an understanding of this may prove very useful in the new project starting on Monday). Usually, GF tries to produce a DVD of each of our various holidays. It is all very fine returning from a trip with thousands of photos and tens of videos – but it takes a masochist to want to sit through and view it. He tries, therefore, to cut the whole lot down to cover the best photos and videos of the vacation, whilst still trying to include the major sights and events. In the past he has used various tools for this, but since getting his new computer has had to look for new products. During the last few years some of his favoured products have been bought up buy other companies or gone through numerous upgrades.

No conclusion has been drawn, thus far. Some further experimentation is needed. The area where GF seems to be having the most challenges so far is in the addition of a soundtrack and finding ways to stretch or compress timelines for selections of slides.
