ginsoakedboy | 29.03.2005 00:20 | Hello All 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. |
