Onwards and upwards!

I have officially graduated Summa Cum Laude from Franklin and Marshall College with a BA in Chemistry! \o/

It was a pretty great day, though I can't believe it's over. It was overcast and breezy with some distant thunder but never actually rained, I believe due to the sheer force of Colin Powell's will. He was quite a charismatic speaker, and I got to shake his hand! \o/ I'll probably post about the day in more detail for my own remembrance's sake, but suffice to say that Dr. Mehl almost made me cry with the lovely things he said about me to my parents.

Right now I'm going to go faceplant. But yay!! I am officially a college graduate! The culmination of a lot of blood sweat and tears. Hurrah. :)

Thanks m'dear!

I started by going to the vidding comm and looking at their tags, I think, and that took me to everything I needed, links to links, that sort of thing. So if you want to go back to the beginning that's how I did it. That said, here are the pages I've still got open in tabs (it's been a while since I looked this up).

My first steps were: download MactheRipper and MPEG Streamclip, then drop $20 on the codec thing all the tutorials say is really useful. And it is! It's all surprisingly simple, much easier than my learning curve for getting source for Premiere. Have fun!
