All I wanted to do was update iTunes…
But then it said I had to update safari. Ok! When I tried installing safari, it asked that I upgrade to the latest version of tiger. Ok! It upgrades. Try installing safari but my G5 won’t reboot! F&@k! Ok!! I boot from install disk, open disk utility to repair disk. Nope! Disk cannot be repaired. Aargh!!!!
I install tiger on 2nd drive, use recovery software to salvage what is on my original drive. Then use migration tool to bring applications and other user files from a month old backup. Then replace old files with new files. You still with me?
Everything seems to be salvaged. Open up Final cut by chance and the bloody thing won’t open!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaargggh!!!!
Damn iTunes. I hate u so.
This is the weekend I promised myself that I would complete editing short doc, write 3rd draft of script, prep for shoot next weekend and work on grant. Oh the irony!
60’s, RNC fought against Medicare. 90’s, Newt & Co. tried to cut it but now they want to save it!?
Some scriptwriting resources for Macs
- Celtx: this is what I use most of the time.
- Scrivener: it has a screenplay module which I don’t use, mostly because it doesn’t translate well into Celtx. But the fullscreen mode is so awesome, so much so that I am writing my feature length screenplay within this application (in novel format). When I am done, I will port it over to Celtx.
- Montage: checked it out when it first came out and wasn’t sold. Should try it again.
- Final Draft: the expensive industry standard.
- Movie Magic Screenwriter: another expensive industry standard.
- NovaMind: motivation behind writing this. Looks great for organizing elaborate plots.
