miscellaneous

Various miscellaneous jobs.

1. Processing Moments of Oneness - 8 episodes in one hour.

2. Installed Skype, Xming (X server) and Yahoo messenger on Windows because now onwards most of my time I'll be doing audio work. Installing Skype with the default options in the installer works ok, but changing the install folder to a different drive, for example, was causing skype to crash. Another problem is that saiwaves X apps don't work on Windows. Incorrect X authentication, it seems.
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
annlink: Fatal IO error: client killed


3. Writing backup CDs of various stuff and removing from HDD - wmv, SW, audio, etc.

4. AfriStar had some playout skipping at 0515 GMT - wonder why. BOC operators report some restarts over the last 2-3 days, too. 0530 changeover seemed to have solved the problem. Later, didn't connect - as suspected, the DHCP had changed the IP, waited for the next dns update at changeip.com, and two minutes later, connected as usual.

5. Strange problem with Cool Edit Pro on saispace2 similar to earlier problem on dharma - saving wav files with some sort of header info so that the file appears to be a RIFF file to SF. Saving as au files as a workaround. Solution was to toggle on and off the setting Options -> Settings -> Data -> Auto-convert all data to 32-bit on opening restarting Cool Edit Pro after the change. Also changed Multitrack premixes at Options -> Settings -> Multitrack to 16-bit Premixes
