Home Alone
Why isn’t Thursday the 13th an ominous day? Do you think Steve noticed that I posted late yesterday? I’m just full of questions. Like, how do I maximize the quality of the compressed version of my bike trip video for uploading to YouTube? It was suggested that I could do that, so I went back the to program I use to create the video and looked at the options and found there are many choices and I have limited understanding of the parameters to which they pertain. And, wouldn’t you know it, the 4 basic recommended aspects that are highlighted on Google’s YouTube help page, don’t appear as options on any of the settings selectable from within the video application. Is that a surprise to anyone?
The good news is that I have some time to think about it now. With no concrete deadlines before me, I can take a day or two to relax. And speaking of relaxing, I am home alone for a couple of evenings! Wife–traveling for work, son–back to college, daughter–working a band camp for a week. Woo hoo! I’ll try to act somewhat dignified and deny any hint of having written this here, but isn’t it just grand to have the place to yourself every once in a while? Even though I am full of questions, that one was pretty much rhetorical.
Be careful today. It’s the thirteenth.
…And I’m home alone. !ö!
