progI am making a new Jmac's Arcade but I officially declare its production as bedeviled, which is to say that progress is slowed due to interference from imps. Gremlins! I have no other explanation.
* The music I want to use is from a local band whose email bounces. I got an alternate address through a mutual contact, but he's not certain that they're still together.
* I sunk hours into getting my screen-capture software to work with the game I'm recording. It was failing only with this one game running in MAME, and not any other title! Argh! I finally found a configuration that worked.
* My Mac's display is wacky, but only for my account. I'm investigating the cause, but it's hiding quite well. While it's happening, Final Cut looks like crap (though its output quality is unaffected) and the capture software is hard to use, since my cursor vanishes while it's running.
* My microwave blew a fuse halfway through rendering a long video clip. But at least it had the sense to do so after making my mac-n-cheese warm so at least I had that.
Ugh. Taking hours and hours longer than it should. It will be OK at the end, though.
