Time when I miss not having a laptop

Hello World!



Am not a high tech guru having the latest gadget and technology at hand but there are days when I really missed the laptop that I got when I used to work…

Let me do a very small recap…

BEFORE

For 2 years and a half had been working I always worked on the traditional desktop pc and it was this year that I was offered a laptop

Well first the manager asked me if I wanted a laptop I told him NO (you must think am stupid to refuse)…

Well am damn thinned as a stick LOL and seeing how my other ex work colleagues usually fussed for having a laptop esp when to carry it esp under the hot sun of Port Louis I refused…

The manager asked me why…I told him honestly that don’t have the necessary energy to carry such thing…



He told me to do some exercises cos being a marketing officer, I would have to do product demonstration etc...so I would got a laptop even I refused

Well after 4 days I got the laptop



OMG it was heavy to carry, my shoulder suffered so much … I don’t have a car and I had to walk quite a long distance to the bus stop (the company was located in a ‘trou perdu’ in port Louis)



Well then I also discovered the laziness side of the laptop I no more have to sit at a desk (like am doing)…could surf on the web on my bed…it was the good days…I put aside my home desktop pc LOL 



Bad side – I got additional work also – had to check the damn work email and do more work…..

NOW

Since morning am working on the PC

And like always am having a damn back ache and that hurt quite a lot…



 

So, those are the times I wished I still worked LOL just to have the laptop LOL and to surf and work on the bed :-p

Cheers



p.s: next time am going to work…first thing on my list will be a laptop

My day trying to edit music on GarageBand

Hello World!!!
Imagine a windows  veteran user like me who just know the basic navigation an Apple pc….

versus


Since 2 weeks I got an audio assignment and have to present the final project on the very next Wednesday…. And if ever you’re wondering the percentage completed = 50%....
Yesterday my project comrades and I did one interview and as it is an audio assignment well have to edit and do a montage with it…. And the very best in it only one among us know how to do the editing and it wasn’t me LOL….
Anyway so today, even I was so ignorant I decided to go to the lab (my project partner already telling the lab guy to help me edit) to do the editing….
So even the gloomy weather (really didn’t want to step out) I went to UOM….

there the lab guy went to lunch…had to wait….then he told me…have to go to a seminar….
Well it was my lucky day….
He left me telling me :click click till you get it hmmm
I didn’t even know the software name…what a start…
Ok it was GarageBand the easiest editing tool …cool(that’s not true hmmm LOL)

After having spend several minutes on which option to open the mp.3 file in the Garageband
Well the file opened on an alien screen….
What the next step???
How to do looping? How to split the damn song in to several layers…. And why it wasn’t playing….

So I tried the help file …well what a help file…it just complicated things… imagine my state of mind….

Ok I then went with the video tutorial….not really that very big help hmmm
After having wasted nearly 1 hour just to know how to start…I phone and sms my friend who knew how to edit…well as I said it was my lucky day my call was rejected and my sms unanswered (she was busy in office)
I decided to click click as the lab guy said … don’t know how I managed I just drag and drop the mp.3 file and miraculously it played and was able to split it like in the video tutorial…I nearly jumped out with joy…was simply so happy LOL :-)

It was easy then how to cut, delete, copy and do the montage and then put a background music …
Well it’s true GarageBand indeed a quite easy tool to edit your music…..
That’s was my day discovering GarageBand LOL
Cheers
p.s: am still a novice with GarageBand but gonna explore the tool on Saturday for the final montage…
