Hop ye all have been well.
Eric. Sit down, take a deep breath and prepare for a
shock. I have actually sent you some stuff that I
promised once upon a time. Sorry for the delay, and
some of the quality is not great .
I will make up a list of what I have once I have
converted all the clips from avi, so I can post what I
have.
Especially for Marco, who I have visions of slaving
away in some underground sweat shop with steam hissing
out of an ancient printing press, the lights dimming as
he cranks up his DVD burner .
He shouts at his underlings as they scramble to change
the printer cartridge (for even though the printing
press runs on steam, it still uses modern cartridges.
This is because Marco is a caffeine fuelled genius who
converted an old 1872 newspaper press using teaspoons
and the innards of an old valve radio.) His manic eyes
dart from one machine to the other , as he operates a
keyboard with his left hand and stirs a pot of glue
with his right.
His left foot works a treadle which he slavaged from
an old Singer sewing machine that he found in a canal
in Tibet. The treadle powers his laptop , upon which he
logs on to the internet with his other foot. (Marco has
amazing dexterity in his toes. Whether this is genetic
or from years of practice I can only guess. I suspect a
combination of the two , but I am no expert and I would
hate to mislead anyone ) All the while he grins and
occasionally throws back his head with a manic laugh as
another dvd pops out of his charcoal fired oven. Sparks
fly and flashes of electricity throw his shadow across
the bare brick walls. The mice in the corner cower as
he nods his head to the sound of Tom Waits.
But there is no music, it is all in his head.
The throb and hum and clank of the press merge with the
sparks and the static hissing to form the backing for
whatever lyric is spinning inside his mad skull.
Well that's how I picute it anyway. He could very well
have a PC humming quietly in his office, but if he has,
I don't want to know.
What is with the "Truing test code"? is it some
security thing? I am not a man of the world so someone
will have to explain else I will be up all night
worrying about it.
