Carlo von Sexron Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Haha yeah I saw that, cracks me up, I used to go to that Wendy's all the time! I agree though, who does order the baconator without the bacon? Decidedly odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomuse Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It's just been announced that there's not going to be any future BDOs in NZ not too surprising considering the poor ticket sales but I wanted to go next year when I was old enough (could go this year but the line up doesn't interest me enough). Plus Muse were pretty much guaranteed to come some time in the future if it was still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I went and did that Poisoners thing at Auckland Museum today. Pretty fun, and they've set up all the different rooms and stuff really well, but it was ridiculously easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Muse were pretty much guaranteed to come some time in the future if it was still on. Yeah, it is sad. I'll miss it. But the organisers have brought about their own downfall, really. Of course there'd be lower ticket sales when they significantly raise the price and decrease the number of acts performing. Still, looking forward to going this Friday - hopefully some more good memories of a great festival. I went and did that Poisoners thing at Auckland Museum today.

Tacticalkat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Tea tapes been leaked Heard part of them on the radio, was really disappointing, couldn't even really hear any words just lots of clinking glasses. Music related question you guys might be able to help with. I want to download music legally, but Digirama doesn't have what I want and I don't want to use Itunes. Is there another alternative? Cheeeers guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeeers guys! Yeah I saw it on YouTube but I got bored because I only wanted to hear the controversial bit and they had posted the whole thing. Hmm interesting. Nothing springs to mind immediately. Why don't you want to use iTunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I usually use Digirama as well. Sucks it didn't have what you wanted this time. These two are pretty good: http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sv_m_7?ie=UTF8&node=163856011&tag=vglnk-c43-20 http://nz.7digital.com/ Hope that helps. Good luck!

Hmm interesting. Nothing springs to mind immediately. Why don't you want to use iTunes? I'm not a huge fan of Apple, and have managed so far without Itunes, I usually use Digirama but I just wondered that if they didn't have something if there was an alternative or if you would be then forced to use Itunes anyway. Dan has it on his computer so I could have always used that it was more the principle of the thing haha. I usually use Digirama as well. Sucks it didn't have what you wanted this time.

darkshineskitty Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey Rich I saw on Seek that TVNZ is advertising for more captioners. You still do that, right? Give me the honest truth about the work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yep, that's still my job, and I really love it. We have to do some abysmal programmes from time to time, but there are some good ones as well. And even the bad ones can be fun - complaining about them and ridiculing them with workmates. And the news and all its pressure is really exciting. The workmates are awesome (if I may say so myself). We do heaps of social events, and we just have a lot of fun at work (there's a baking roster!) And the team leader for new recruits is fabulous and so amazing at training newbies. But we're advertising for a full-timer, yeah? That has its drawbacks - mainly the changing shifts. I don't like the 7am-3:30 one! Plus the new recruit will be replacing a hugely popular captioner. Big shoes to fill! But, yeah, I think it's a really awesome job. I'd definitely recommend applying if you're considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hmm I was thinking about it, but I don't like the idea of live captioning. Seems terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Haha, it scared the bejesus out of me at first too, and I see the terror in the eyes of every newbie when they're about to do it for the first time. But you get used to it SO quickly. And you don't get dumped straight into live captioning on your very first day. You only start doing the news when you're ready - usually about 6-8 weeks, I think. It's a job that provides hours of nerdy fun. Last week we had a big discussion about how to describe the sound of jelly wobbling. It was fascinating! We went with "gloop!" in the end.

It does sound pretty cool. The job that is, not the sound of jelly wobbling. Rich not only did I find the obscure band on that website, but it was also cheaper than Ituens. Score!

Tacticalkat Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've been growing steadily more and more obsessed with them. First heard of them about three or four years ago and couldn't really find much on them then. They have just released a couple of their songs in English, but I'm not that keen on them, they seem to lack somewhat, more romantic in Russian haha.

_Ed_ Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Haha, yeah, I get what you mean. Like Rammstein's songs in English are never quite the same. I got completely sucked in to a new TV show at work today. It had this crazily dramatic first scene, and then it was all like "five months earlier..." And I'm thinking, "WHAT?! How did we get from this to that?!" I'm gonna have to watch it all now, aren't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
