Another day...

Today is of course, another day, and another page of our daily lives that depending on whether or not we have a particularly good or bad day will remain with us forever in our memory. Unfortunately, for most people, in a week or two time this day might just be a blur, and it’s this repetition that we have to endure that overwrites our memory with similarities and this erases and poisons our memories. 
Too much repetition brings normality, an area that everyone can relate to, it’s these familiarities that in my view spoil what should be a life of discovery and not one based on repetition. 

Today was supposed to be the day the High school would contact me, but as usual, things never go as planned and they have not called me to confirm such meetings. 

So, time to take this into my own hands, in a little while I will be heading to the high school, and ask, again, for this meeting before it's too late. 


Anyway, back to the other issues, on the front line at this moment is the Cooliris program, that with some editing, I will hopefully be able to utilize its application abilities. 
It’s a really clever piece of software and utilizing it will be one of the main challenges that I will have to overcome. 
I'll link you, now.

This software is amazing, it basically takes my concept to a new visual level, and its ability to be customized so freely means that making the workflow easy is now achievable. 

Anyway, today I've been looking at its applications, it seems that any video or audio needs to be in FLV (flash move player) format and this will create some issues with conversion, but maybe might work in my favour, since flash content is vector based and as a result can be resized to whatever dimensions I wish. 
Using a program called 'PicLens Publisher' I can create the websites necessary code that will be used by the program Cooliris, only problem so far is going to be its size, since making an online application which houses Gig's of data will not be cheap, so all I have to do is adapt that code that Cooliris uses to help itself work the way it should.
