Spent huge amounts of time trying to get the video material from the summer school onto DVD, had to buy a DVD writer, a couple of USB 2 posts, find and install my peerless 20 GB drive to store stuff temporarily. Still takes hours to render.
Only managed to put 2 properly on to DVD and one as simply files. HOpe the new kit will speed up the process and allow video to DVD direct. It could save weeks.
In a very stressed state about it all as I have not really looked at many hours to transcribe stuff yet.
Decided to take stuff off here if it contains names and private stuff. Some people might be ofended if I use names and places.
Talked to GA about setting goals and agreed to set a month to complete the video analysis.
Work at home when not teaching.
