Well it is Christmas eve today, and I am highly annoyed at technology. Let me explain, last night, at around 1 am I was trying to get my videos on my video camera onto my computer, and lets say it wasn't going well. There is some kind of conversion issue. Something to do with the fact that Sony (my camera) has it's own special type video file that nothing else in the electronic world recognizes. It was like making a dog talk in cat language, which is why I hate Sony. So around 1:30 I notice I have another camera built into my laptop, that has literally been staring me in the face for the last 30 minutes. So I go and record the Christmas greeting again on my computer, edit it, add some pictures from the trip so far. This was completed by 3am. Proud of myself I went to bed, got up 6 hours later and hit the library. Expecting to e-mail them back home, and then get on with my day. That was 5 hours ago. This is what happened, the movie files were to big to attach to the e-mail, so I went to U-tube and tried to upload them there, but that didn't work either. So I went back into the movie editor and chopped them up into smaller bits. Unfortunately they still wouldn't attach to an e-mail, for some reason, they would get to 99% but never attach, kind of drives you nuts hu? At this point I am looking for a tall building to throw my computer off of. In the end I went back to the one thing that shouldn't fail me, the keyboard. Key word, shouldn't, as my computer froze halfway through the original blog. So this is my second attempt at this, and I already know that pictures won't load, so even this is almost a failure.
Anyway Christmas in Australia is kind of hard to wrap your head around, current temperature 30. And the only storm rolling in is what is left of a Cyclone that came all the way from Darwin. The weirdest part by far is hearing Christmas music, as the sweat is pouring off your face, "I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas", not quite. In fact in Hobart instead of ice sculptures, they make sand sculptures. Though this heat does make me wonder how Santa's suit designed for snow and cold takes the Australian heat? I wonder if he secretly doesn't run his routes down here in a speedo. Anyway, that is enough yakking from me for Christmas. I hope everyone's their Christmas, I certainly do miss you all.
Love from Adelaide
Adam
Merry Christmas
