Month: January 2007

Status report: Slightly flaky

Ok, so at least the domain transferred ok; you’re here, aren’t you?

That said:
* The images aren’t up properly and might not display, or give you a “missing image” icon.
* The Revver videos are not displaying and look like empty space. I think it might be something that revver.com has screwed up, since I can’t reach their site. This might be a firefox issue, or just my computer acting up. Works fine in safari. (Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a homepage dedicated to filling out what’s up with sites that are down? i think it would)
* Not all plugins are installed, so footnotes and audio doesn’t work
* The main page is down. that’s cause i’m working on a new version, and the old one hadn’t been updated for more than a year or so.

Be patient with me (and this site for a week or so while i iron all the thingies out.

Prole: Day 7 (Fixed) (Really fixed)

Update: Video missing because Revver.com folded

I’m doing this on iMovie nowdays, so the font & cuts look a bit different. So much for consistency.

Oh, and I noticed that someone actually clicked that ad that comes up at the end of the video, and I am now $0.30 richer! Yay for me!

——[edit]—

Jebus chribes! This thing looks like shit! And I thought that it was stuttering only cause I previewed it on a slow computer. Ouch! Eh, I’ll redo it Sunday. Promise.

Fixed it. Screwed up the compression somehow.

ho-hum

I just spend ten minutes googling Piers Steel, a researcher who has published a formula of procrastination. meta-procrastination.

Had a brief chat with a guy from Pinstorm in Mumbay about some marketing things my dad is thinking about. First time I have a live conversation with someone in india I think. Neat.

I’m moving to a new host: mswmedia.com which is run by Matthew Selznik, who besides has the same first name as I (sort of) also has a “s” and “z” in his last name. How can that be not good? In no way, that’s how. Also, he’s written brave men run and podcasted the whole thing on podiobooks.com which I recommend you to check out.

Anyway, expect some downtime in a week or so when I try to move over this blog and all other content to another server and fuck things up horribly and beyond repair. Don’t know how well email is going to work in the meantime, so use mateusz.pozar@valand.gu.se why don’t you.

Prole : Intermission 1

I didn’t go to work today. the reason being that the pricetags that I was supposed to mount on every shelf and hanger hadn’t arrived yet. So I get a day off. Without pay. Oh, on Monday and Tuesday as well. Without pay. And this afternoon the contact person at the rent-a-slave company called to say that the last two weeks of my four week stint had been cancelled. So I’m not going to work then.

I’ve set aside four weeks in my quite stressful fulltime schedule to work a shit job to be able to pay the rent and buy wine. I’m not there for the benefit of my health or because I find it amusing.

This pisses me off no end. I can only imagine the poor fucks who have to work under these conditions month in and month out. Jesus fuck.

I’ll put together a video over the weekend never-the-less. If nothing else, celebrating the hangover I’m hoping to create.

Omfg lol!

There’s a term for searching for misspelled things which I don’t recall. Since I’m the only “Mateusz Pozar” out there I searched for variations on my name (people tend to get it wrong), and found this:

It’s a collection of shorts Leonard Palmestål did a while back. He asked me to do the filming for one of them, and I haven’t seen the finished result until now (Mateus Pozar is credited for filming.

I like the way he’s solved subtitling, and althought it’s acted kinda over-the-top, and dealing with a heavy topic a bit too easily, it’s neat. Sort of coffee and cigarettes and a gun.

If you want to see the subs properly you need to click this link, cause I had to shrink the film to fit it in the blog.
