I'm grumpy this morning.
Fuck you Adobe and your stupid fucking subscription bullshit.
Hear hear
Premiere Pro is the worst of the big video editors I've used but I go back to it because of its transcription feature.
I'm almost considering buying the studio version of Davinci Resolve to get the same thing instead.
And codec compatibility can be so hit and miss on Linux I've had to go back to Windows to do my editing
What do you say about Premiere's AI-powered masking? It looks absolutely best-in-class at the moment but I haven't looked at it in a few months.
I haven't looked into it yet. I'm just making basic reel style videos. The auto transcription saves a lot of time, but I almost think I end up taking as long going in and tidying them up
Look, anything to knock Adobe down several pegs.
You can even set up a locally run LLM through Kdenlive for transcription. I've set it up on linux, but maybe I should do it again to save myself a few hundred bucks
Morning. Cafe breakfast yaaaay
What is your favourite?
Depends entirely on the day, but Iโm fond of the Japanese breakfasts at Operator San
Rather expensive new shiny thing acquired at work. Must be kept well away from Mme Thornbury! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐จ

A 1494 Malleus maleficarum
Ooooh, sexy! Half a tic, wasn't this written by James 1/IV? In the 1600s? 1494 seems a bit early or was it by another perpetrator?
An unpleasant chap named Kramer. The first edition is 1486. James I/VI had a nasty witch obsession, but didn't write it.
Errrk. Don't know this Kramer bloke - other than Friends I guess and that only by repute.
Back to Melbs today.
Solid w/e.
NBN upgrade w/ 600Mbps down 50 up โ๏ธ Which is pretty wild considering this place is sort of semi rural.
Hot sauce blended โ๏ธ
Spring rolls made โ๏ธ
Yelling at a clothesline that needs moving.. because a few screws won't budge โ๏ธ
Subwoofer rumbling again โ๏ธ
Didn't hurt myself โ๏ธ
Oxalis โ
Oxalis is the cockroach of the plant world. Unkillable.
True dat :(
ok, just had a bad allergic reaction about 1.5 hrs ago to difflam cough drops, not great ๐ฟ
have been resting watching telly since
Rain!
Lunch in Surrey Hills. Nice to get out of the house (WFH has made me a hermit).
There are some good spots around there. Wish it was a more regular option for me
Dark and raining in CBD
Very, very much so
Iโm enjoying the rain now, but also know I need to go out in it in an hour
Damn, bought the wrong lentils. I need the French ones for a grain salad, and I have regular green ones which will turn mushy when cooked. They are good for dahl or soup but not great for a salad. Canโt be bothered to go out to the shops so will make something else.
Cycled back from the girlfriend's place. Easy enough ride with the battery assist. So much nicer than driving.
Got back on my bike last week and hot damn did it feel good!! Just a shitty time of year to pick it back up.
Feeling a bit bleh today. Generally flat, headache, upset stomach etc. Right at that 'do I call in sick for work or not?' line, which is really annoying because I tend to get really indecisive when I'm not feeling well. I've ended up erring on the side of caution and not going in. I think I'm right on the line where I'd go in for a day shift, but I'm not up for a night shift.
ok, so I cried because these allergies are wearing me down ๐ฟ
had been taking cough medicine and difflam for 1.5 days, cough symptoms worsened
seems i was allergic and had a crisis,
how the fuck, when cough symptoms are nearly the same how could I tell what's what
but the dizziness and throat tightening/wheezing were allergy symptoms
my cough symptoms are practically zero now, just a bit of a headache from the allergy crisis
have been relaxing since and I think by tomorrow I will be fine
miss seagoon came over , which was nice
I don't know why this happening, might be a long covid symptom. Will talk to the allergy doc soon.
am playing lovely music that makes me happy ๐
Sending you so much love and many hugs!!
Hope you can get some answers from the allergy doc. Glad itโs improving.
Coming home to an empty house is bumming me out.
Can't wait till I move. No one wants to travel to whoop whoop to hang out lol
I made a roast chicken with gravy and vegies
it was such a good dinner, very nourishing and soothed my throat
yes, I'm totes miserable
time go rest
So I think I've finally got the hang of Infinity Nikki and suspect it'll become a problem for me. Low stakes, run around and collect cute outfits, solve puzzles and get shiny stars. There's a helluva lot to it for a gacha game, I had no idea. But I'm really enjoying it!
