I hold the cert tape in my hand, hurrah. Between Saturday night and tonight, I'd say that it took only a day to edit, which isn't bad, considering. (This isn't counting the time it took to log, which is almost a day in itself, and that is bad. I think my future logging efforts will be much more efficient, though.)

The final product clocks in at just under 10 minutes. After a couple of test screenings, I added some voice-overs tonight in order to kludge some indication of flow into it, and also dropped in some title music. I'm reasonably happy with it, though it's still enh insofar as it doesn't really capture the flavor of what I have in mind for the whole show; it's just some guys playing a game. But as practice, and as my key to full SCAT access, it's just fine.

Dunno if I wanna go posting any URLs right now... maybe later, after it starts airing. I dunno. I kinda want to just put it behind me and start making better stuff. (Yes, it will be on TV, but as an unscheduled part of a time-filler tape, so.)

Also today: daerr (who, clean-shaven, suddenly looks far too much like Penn Jilette) in town. Talked about recent Volity list discussion and came up with an all-new, all-crazy idea like we usually do; no word yet on how anyone else feels about it. (I'm getting antsy and want to decide on something so I can finish the stuff I'm coding right now... but I want it done right, too.) Then we went to see Kung-Fu Hustle, which is some fine entertainment, though I didn't get why various guys had their asses hanging out of their pants.

Tags are working exactly as I hoped, and this really took me off-guard! Suddenly, posts I made nearly four years ago are right next to posts I made yesterday, when certain tags are clicked. Combined with my starting to use Xjournal, a kickass client that makes it very easy to pull up and edit any historical post, this creates a small dilemma: should I repair posts from the past? I'm running into a lot that have broken but repairable links, or incorrect information, or plain-text references to people who have gotten LJ accounts since then.

Rather more unsettling, a friend emailed me to say psst while pointing to a post that was far more frank about my feelings regarding certain FOAFs than I would write in a public post today. The post was from 2001, when most of my RL friends were not yet LJ friends.

I marked the post as private, and will have to pay more attention to this sort of content as I continue my tagging mission. (Which is taking as long as I expected; I'm not even through January 2002 yet!) I pray that I do not accidentally cause awkwardness as old posts start to bubble up. I actually don't think that I will cause actual anger, even if I let some tricky posts slip by; I am not a cranky meanie. But still. Feel free to call me out on anything I say, even if I said it a long time ago.
