@rayschippers The client dramas are still on-going. Oh well. The first batch of #AusCERT audio is posted Monday.
@rayschippers In the field I use a Zoom H4n recorder. http://arseh.at/77f And good to see you had a safe flight home. :)
For those wondering, I use the Logitech H530 for most of my podcast recordings, except when in the field. http://arseh.at/77c
Sat plan, revised again: Complete main editing for “Patch Monday”podcast; map out the next few days; relax and have an early night.
Yes @justjjoke, “Young” Michael found the two Logitech H530 headsets that had recently arrived. I’ve given Officeworks a feedback form.
Michael at Officeworks Glebe deserves a huge tip!
The chap is searching out back. But, on a high shelf in the wrong spot I can see a Logitech shipping box. Can has ladderz?
The chap has determined that two units were delivered recently and none sold. So… where are they?
According to the stock control system there’s two Logitech H530 headsets here. Computers never lie, but…
Bugger. It appears I did indeed break my headset mic when tripping over the cable earlier. New mission: Buying new headset mic.
Well that was a really shitty pad thai. It does make the day, indeed life, just that tiny bit more difficult to endure.
@purserj Hmmm. It does break naturally into two halves, but… I’m not sure how it’d balance out over two weeks. Will consider tho.
@dfg77 Editing individual items is probably around 3x length, yes, but it can vary wildly. Then add overall episode scripting and packaging.
The audio editing goes slowly. I have too much material, even for an extended one-hour program. Time to be ruthless. Or to have lunch.
RT @franksting: Lots of tadpoles in the pond [Is that a euphemism?]
@thewinchesterau What I do expect is my communication with PayPal’s compliance team to work. And yes, escalate to APRA if it doesn’t.
@thewinchesterau I don’t expect the blog post to change things. That’s just blogging, i.e. writing about what’s happening in my life.
@peter_tonoli If PayPay is indeed objecting to “donate”, their email should’ve said so. I’d be happy to re-word. We shall see.
Back to the audio editing for “Patch Monday”. Re-listening to #AusCERT material just makes me more and more paranoid by the minute.
@DHS_Dassa @RatbagsDotCom By all means add your stories to the comments at http://arseh.at/76r
New blog post: “PayPal’s incompetent compliance arsehattery” http://arseh.at/76r Feel free to vent in the comments.
@RatbagsDotCom Gawd, the word “donations” is the problem? What arsehats PayPal can be sometimes. /cc@DHS_Dassa
Breakfast is done. Settling into the audio editing. 6 of 7 interviews to clean up, then scripting, finding soundbites, editing, packaging…

RT @leslienassar: If you can’t prove you’re not who you’re not saying you aren’t, then no Internet Money for you. [Prezactly.]
I’ve been using PayPay for years. Dealing with so many pissy transactions from innumerate trailer trash, they do OK.
@RealMichaelTunn I wouldn’t be too harsh on PayPal about a specific transaction triggering fraud detection. It’s not a perfect science.
So now PayPal want proof that I’m NOT a nonprofit or charity. Because my “status has changed”. When they changed it. True idiocy.
Add to Sat plan: Send PayPal a bunch of documentation. They arbitrarily, incorrectly decided I was a non-profit organisation and want proof.
Sat plan: Decent breakfast; edit “Patch Monday” podcast; some writing, potentially; relaxing evening after a mostly-work day.
Oh Dear God, they’re recovered THAT LSD-fuelled footage from 1964 and turned it into a movie, “Magic Trip” http://arseh.at/76n
If you’re sticking around for the End Times, try to get your terms straight, says @johnemcintyre http://bsun.md/loOtd6 #rapture
@mattevan5 Ta, but I think at this stage it’s simply lack of sleep rather than jet lag as such. And lingering viral crap.
Splatterday.
