Almost Friday - Paycut - Chapter 7 Script
August 06, 2005

Do people actually read those online classifieds? Isn’t there, like, a Craig’s List or something? What is that? Can you advertise for roommates in that? Is it national or just over in California somewhere?

It’s becoming very tempting to pop over to some other blogs in between these segments, but I really believe that I would get sucked in and then nothing would get accomplished here. With the few minutes available between segments, I’m just resting mentally and poking my head in to visit the family when they’re around. I kind of wish they were here now, even though I think they wish I would hang out with them instead of doing this. Hopefully they’re out somewhere having fun.

On the atmosphere side, the room is starting to warm up for some reason. I think I need to switch the ceiling fan on again, which messes with the audio. Maybe I can switch it off when I’m recording, and then back on again when I’m not. It just takes a while for the blades to spin down and stop blowing, so I wonder if it’s really worth it. Maybe I can just leave it on and the mic won’t pick it up? Folly!

Enough with the speculation. Here’s another script. Audio to come in the next half hour or so.

Almost Friday - Paycut - Chapter 8 Script
August 06, 2005

Whew, I put the rush on this one. I ate dinner somewhere in there. I think.

I’m still on a delay waiting for people to call in on the hotline (+1 484 237 4202) to give me a couple of endorsements for Lemonsol, the fictional product in the story. There’s another post around here that talks about what to do. Very simple. Please help!

And with that, I present the script for Chapter 8, fresh off the press.

Asymptomatic Operations
August 06, 2005

Just to give you a little idea of what things look like around here at Asymptomatic Headquarters, I filmed this video with an overview of the equipment that I’m using to produce the blog entries and the audio (there is audio coming, I promise!) that is going live today.

The sound is a little funky because I forgot to turn off the ceiling fan, and it’s blowing across the camera’s microphone. All these computers (there are others in the room that are not in this movie!) generate a surprisingly terrible heat without some air circulation.
