Blogger Bugs

Woo hoo… I’m also finding all sorts of bugs in blogger as I do… Like it gets confused when you insert HTML text into your entry… and when you click post when you’re using Safari as your web browser the window goes *poof*… Woo hoo…

Learnin this crazy thing

LOL… So, just as I suspected - I’m still figuring out how I should be using this crazy thing and what kind of things I should be posting here and what kinds of things are going to require another forum… And, at the same time, Ray and Matt are (rightfully) busting my chops about going since last week without a single post.. The real trick is that I have TONS of stuff that pops into this neurotic mind of mine and I’ve started to jot down.. Problem is lots of ‘em are relationship things or interpersonal things that those involved wouldn’t probably be super thrilled about the general public reading about… Orrrrrrr… they’re work related in which case I have to self sensor since the product I’m working on hasn’t been released yet…

Anyway… just the hurdles that I’m pondering.. not any big deal..

But.. Just for some background for those that don’t know me.. The reason I have to self sensor work related stuff is cuz by day I’m a software engineer at apple computer… been doin that for 10 years now - how scary is that… Cool company with killer cool cool products tho… My current gig here is my favorite so far (and also probably the biggest challenge for me to wrap my tiny brain around)… I’m working on a video editing product called Final Cut Pro. Product is used by film makers and studios to piece together all of the video that the collect during shooting a film product into the tiny portion of it that they actually present to the audience… Pretty damn cool if ya ask me.. Product isn’t confidential - been shipping for years (we’re up to version 3.0.4 or so of Final Cut Pro and just released a product called Final Cut Express for DV editors).. But I’m working on the next rev of the product and the features of THAT are super confidential…

So - once I can spill about that I will - but until then i’ll have to artfully dance around my daytime adventures.. (not that the life of a software engineer is all that thrilling anyway - bunch of propellor heads locked in offices staring at monitors all day! :):))

well - better get back to it.. more to come..
