    I found this podcast script from 2008. It’s dated a bit, but I still like this: The unreserved bank of new Zealand has raised the disinterest rate to a record high 98 percent. The rise is a function of Increased rates of advertising, political pigswill and facile media reporting in the face of ongoing imports…

    Zoom went June Well that month disappeared quickly. It’s been busy! I finished one video project and have done more than a dozen interviews for the next. All mostly via Zoom. Some was field footage and shooting though, and it made me realise how much I still have to learn. The sound was OK, but…

    Coronavirus day 57 Weird things happen around the full moon. I don’t know if today was a full moon or not, but it felt like it! An early start to get work done, school run, then a drive to Motueka to meat the surgical theatre bus. Sounds great doesn’t it, getting surgery on a bus…

    Coronavirus lockdown day 50 Day 50 was a budget preview day. Big Norm got a mention. It will be a real change to see an investment budget. Work has been slower the last couple of days (that is not a complaint) and I had time to do a few online tutorials about After Effects. New…

    Coronavirus lockdown day 42 42: The answer to life, the universe and everything. Ironically, also a miscalculation. One thing you couldn’t get wrong though was the temperature today – after a couple of days of rain, some cold southerly snaked its way up the island and dumped snow on the hills. We put the fire…

    Coronavirus lockdown day 37 Work, admin, a drive, a drink over a zoom call and the first day of New Zealand Music Month. It will be very much online this year, so that will be interesting. Also there is a competition – could be fun:

    Coronavirus lockdown day 13 In the blink of an eye, I missed three days? Where did that time go? I mean it’s Easter, so you could use the joke about disappearing for three days and then coming back and taking all the credit … but that isn’t the case here 🙂 Instead it’s been rinse…

    Corona virus lockdown day 12 Sometimes you surprise yourself. You work on something for a while; it’s good. But then you collaborate with someone and something unexpected happens. Flamenco triplets turn up in a straight 4/4; a new cut builds momentum where there was a lull; Random chord injections, resolve and make sense. Suddenly the…

    So I’d been having trouble getting separate tracks into Garageband, Reaper and the like when using the Zoom H6 . When the H6 was in Multi-track mode as an interface, I’d select input 1 and get nothing. Same on input 2. When I switched to setero mix I got level through – but only one…

We got about 3 of the 4 cubic meters done, so pretty happy with that. Saw approximately half the neighbourhood walking around, and plenty of smiles, giddays and waves. They say…
