Jul. 29th, 2005 06:45 pmGot the giant hard drive today. Installing it into the G5 (alongside the HD it already had) was a breeze. Am hwarfing all the current Gameshelf footage from earlier this month onto hard disk right now... it's too bad it can only do it at 1x speed, meaning that it will take several hours to transfer, with me manually swapping tapes every hour. But it will be so worth it, I think.
I wonder what the current state of hard-drive-using camcorders is. I am assuming they exist. I'd certainly favor using one over MiniDV.
Somewhat relatedly, did something fun last night: helped crew a debate in the SCAT studio between the Democratic candidates for the 2nd Middlesex district state senate race. You Somervudlians can catch it on Channel 3 at 7pm on any Wednesday in August (except for the 31st, I'm assuming, since that's a day after the election in question). When you see the camera trained on Casey or Callahan, that was my masterful handiwork, ha ha. (Another camera was on Jehlen and Mackey, and a third on the moderator/audience.)
I wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying (since I was paying more attention to what I was doing), but two big topics I noticed were gay marriage and T expansions into Somerville. I'm interested in hearing about that latter topic in particular, so I'll be tuning in myself.
It'll also be shown on Medford, Winchester and Woburn local access, but I dunno when. "Check your local listings." Hm, if I remember I'll post something about it to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
davis_square next week.
Screwing around with Apple hardware? Being part of the media coverage for a local political event? It's like 1996 all over again for me...
