DVD Mastering

I had to travel to Slough to visit out mastering company yesterday. We had a few technical problems with issuing the master on a DLT VS1 tape. Anyhow, it’s the first time I’ve been in a mastering plant, and I’ve been producing CD’s for 11 years now… and the end of every project involves cutting a disk to send to MASTER.

The place is space age! The whole place is a clean room, and I had to wear white overalls, shoes covers, hair net, and face mask while I was there. All very odd. But it was fascinating watching the whole process. Actually seeing a glass master for the first time was amazing.

Conkers

Conkers I was out with the kids picking Conkers at the weekend. Our garden has 3 large trees on the edge of it. This is generally a great thing, as I love conkers and it does depress me that more children don’t play it nowdays, (Actually, I think it might just be a southern thing, as children “up north” still seem to play it.) however the problem with all these trees is that the garden gets absolutley flooded with them at this time of year as they start to fall. Looking at the trees at the weekend and it seems there is a good crop… which means plenty of tidying up.

The kids love just finding them on the floor, but we also tend to knock some down just to keep the traddition going.

Anyway, Victoria had noticed a large one on one of the trees recently. You could see it from kitchenfoodnmore and it looked a beauty! Well, we got the bugger down and it was the size of a tennis ball! And nestled inside was 4 conkers!!!
