Canada video playlist added

I’ve uploaded three more videos shot in Canada (four in all). Here’s a playlist page for them so they’re all easily accessible.

I’ve had flu which has put me out of action for pretty much the whole week, but am feeling well enough just now to do a bit of updating - thank goodness. Lying down for so long has really crippled my poor back (those who know me will understand why - flowers and chocolates are acceptable get well soon gifts by the way, even for old geezers like me).

I’ve added a page for Plane trip, a video shot from the plane on a recent trip to Canada (and back).

Video uploaded: Pond

A short video note of my friend Elsa's garden pond. I was just a little mesmerised by the sound of the water being pumped from one pool to the other. Very calming!

Internet Explorer 8 still fails?

I want to put my stuff online in an easily navigable and attractive way for as many people to see as would like to. So this site is built with Rapidweaver and its excellent range of 3rd party plugins. It’s standards compliant  and I like the ease of use so I can throw something together quickly. I’ve just added Mediabox, as I recently blogged. Although I haven’t done comprehensive testing it seems to work fine on both PC’s and Macs and in all browsers.

All that is except for Internet Explorer 8, which seems to break on the video pages that contain the Mediabox code. Why is that? I’m not going waste my time trying to figure it out just now, as it works on everything else. So I urge all you IE users out there to do yourselves a favour and switch to Firefox. Not for my sake you understand. It’s just better. More stuff works on it. It’s as simple as that.

UPDATE 4 September 2008: Working now in IE8 and IE7 hopefully

Video uploaded: Windblown plastic

I’ve uploaded two new videos. One is a 53 second clip shot with an iPhone of some old plastic caught on top of a wall. I slowed the playback speed to about 30%, double-tracked the sound and added a bit of echo and reverb. The result is quite eerie.

The other is a much shorter iPhone clip of an outdoor ashtray smoking and looking like it’s about to catch fire.

Both are filed in a playlist called Vignettes. These are short video notes, mostly with a static camera and minimal or no editing - like a long photo.
