Got a new phone, a KRZR. Took a bunch of muckwork to get iSync + Bluetooth talking. But seem to have knocked stuff into place.

12:34 am

Not much progress this month. Cheap, fast, good, pick two.

9:49 am

Well, the moment of truth: the first two days of shooting. Got 15 out of 19 pages shot, good deal. The hvx eats more light than I thought, gonna have to rethink how to do some night lighting.

4:20 pm

Looks like I’ve got all my actors. Drew up an eight day shooting schedule, but it’ll probably end up as four fulls and eight half days in coordinating people. Was gonna start this weekend but looks like I’ll have to push it back one.

11:18 am

Well, managed to get five actors so far. Good deal.

Did a test reading of the script, though, and came in way under what I need. Not sure what to do about that.

10:58 pm

Went up to Columbia to try and find some actors, no such luck.

Been playing a little go. Gotten to the point where I can beat the computer…on its lowest setting with a nine stone handicap. But it was consistently whupping me before so any progress is encouraging.

12:28 am

It took longer than expected, but my first feature script is done.

Now, to find some people and shoot the thing.

3:13 am

Computers are cool.

6:17 pm

Dang.

Zapped Fedora and went to Feisty Fawn.

11:53 pm

Installed Fedora Core 6, played around with a pair of promising new technologies, Xgl (eye candy) and Xen (virtualization).

I’m still partial to apt, but it’s a pretty slick package.
