[today’s run: 0]
I have not been running much recently. I go through phases like that. I did run on Saturday for 4 miles and I had a nice run. But, somehow I just haven’t gotten back out there and here it is Thursday evening.
I’m still downloading stuff and putting it in the Rivendell radio station software library. I have improved my process quite a bit, but I could stand to keep better records about what I have downloaded and processed. Fortunately the software has good search capabilities so I can check the loaded stuff for duplicates and look before loading. I am also keeping the zipped .mp3 files of the stuff I have downloaded. after loading it becomes .wav files which are much larger. I have 1500 items loaded and am about 30% through my disk space on the computer. It has a single 1TB drive (that 1,000 GigaBytes). I would like to have as large a library as I can get in place before we go on the air. I may have to invest in some more computer hardware.
I have not yet figured out how to do our 8-hours * 3 (2 repeats) broadcast day. But I’ve been off on other things, mainly working on the crowd-sourcing stuff to try to raise funds.
Speaking of that, I spoke to Mississippi Arts Commission. We don’t really fit what they do since we aren’t “performing” anything. I think I’m going to check out the Mississippi Humanities Commission to see if there is any fit there. We are looking for grant $$ or any other kind of encouragement. But, it did me some good to talk to the arts people. Every time I explain what we are doing I get a bit better at it and I usually get positive feedback.
