Get stuff done

[jelazakazone]

It's almost 9am and time for me to get stuff done.

I have already helped dh get something posted on Word Press to his satisfaction (don't ask why I know about WP than he does because I don't. I've never used it before).  And I got the kids off to school.

I'm feeling a little off today.  I think it's hormones.  *shakes fists at ovaries*  I'm gonna eat

If you post the podfic let me just quickly tell you that I as non-native speaker thought it was fine pacewise. Some parts seemed a bit fast in the beginning but nothing which disturbed the listening. The soundeffect on the other hand is a bit strange. In the beginning I thought it was a mistake in the recording but after the 2nd I did understand:) I mean.. I get it should be the turn of a page - or at least that's what I thought?

Btw... which microphone do you use? I still have trouble with background noise which drives me crazy. But yours seems fine.

I'm sorry I'm so late with a feedback but time just flies by...

[jelazakazone]

Oooh. Ok. I'll just take the sound effect out. cecilegrey didn't like it either. Good to know. Thanks!

I bought a $10 Logitech microphone. There are different things you can do to dampen background noises. You are using Audacity right? You could look through podfic_tips to see what people do.

[dunderklumpen]

I know. Prolem is when I use the automatical background noise damper and the echo damper they give a better result but the voice sounds kind of tinny. And I haven't found a way around it yet. That's annoying... *sigh*

[jelazakazone]

Oh, yeah. I used "female narrator" in Garageband and it worked out great. Are you using a built in mic? I found the sound quality was much better using the external mic.

[jelazakazone]

Wow, you are going to do all that and work?! I'm amazed. Seriously. Your list before work is about all I can manage in a day.

I forgot to add "deposit money in a bank account" to my list. It's taking far longer than it should. Damn pop up blocker.

[dunderklumpen]

I use my headphone mic which works fine. It's just the general adjustments which won't work as I want them to:( But I admit that I only have minor knowledge of all the things you can do with the program. Maybe I should try Garageband? But I just got myself used to Audacity. *ergh*

Anyway... I should sew... but I'm too lazy...

[jelazakazone]

Do you use a Mac? Seems like most people use Audacity.

Sew! Start something new. Do a mini-quilt.

I need to GSD fic-wise later this evening, when I'm done GSD-ing at work. :)

[jelazakazone]

\o/ I'll be gsding all day, I hope. I really want to get going on my red/white/black quilt. Check in later?

[nympha_alba]

Definitely!

[jelazakazone]

Excellent! I'm working on my list. It's nice to have company along the way:D

[alba17]

Yes, I need to GSD. I note that it's 10:30 and all I've done is a comment fic and a friending meme on LJ, lol, so NO REAL LIFE THINGS.

1. Pay bills (URGENT)
2. Clean kitchen
3. Enter orchestra info in database (should have been done in Sept.)
4. Maybe shop for some Xmas gifts.
5. Buy new light fixture and some other misc. stuff.
6. Maybe post more fic

[jelazakazone]

Heh. Yeah. I know that feeling. I had the headless chicken thing going on yesterday, so I have to focus today.

I'm about to post podfic now.

Have fun with your list! You can do it. Put some fun music on or bring the laptop into the kitchen to watch something distracting.

Do you actually have to go to a store to do shopping? My sympathies.

[jelazakazone]

*glomps you* I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are holding up. How's life, bb?

I am feeling much better now. I think I just needed to drink some water and eat and move around. *shew* I was worried it was going to get worse because it started in the middle of the night.

Eh, hormones, what are you going to do?

[jelazakazone]

I think the snuggles are helping. Thanks, darling. I've missed you. ♥

LOL. I see you keep posting TW fic on AO3.

Well, I often wake up in the middle of the night. When I woke up last night, I didn't feel so great. That's how I know it started in the middle of the night.

Yeah. Evil rotten hormones.
