What's with Wednesdays?
Thursday, March 15, 2007As some of you may be aware, Lloyd takes Wednesdays off, and on these days I do the shipping in his stead. Last week we reached our record (not counting skid orders), and this week we had 31 boxes go out the door. The worst part of that, is I had only 6 boxes done by 12:30 (lots of customer service calls.) I was still packing when UPS came a couple hours later. It was a relief when he came because I knew I could stop!
Ryan packed Audio CD’s, and then I was able to (hopefully) finish the changes for the Spanish Lamb reprint. I sent the last files out to be proof-read.
Oh, and I finally figured out how to get Closed Captioning on the DVD’s I’m mastering right now. It’s not a big deal, but in creating the files for Subtitles, I ‘double bold’ everything so the subtitles come out big and easy to read. Taking that file and exporting the Caption data, if the text is still bold, it makes the text blink (as you can’t make Captions bold, as it’s just like a text file.) It’s one of those experience things that you almost only learn by accident. Now, to run that process through the 110 video clips this one DVD has…
Thanks, Boo, for the package! It’s great! You guys have too much time on your hands…or is it too many hands for your time?
Very full day!
