Intercon schedule

Intercon J schedule has gone live. When I remembered that it was supposed to be up by now I went to check it, and as I clicked back and forth from schedule to specific games, it literally changed from one click to the next. Oz will happily be running in the afternoon slot on Saturday, which was my first choice, so I'm pleased with that. But at first it seemed like I'd be able to play in both Survivors of the Naronic and The Last Seder, my top choices to be in, but the schedule shifted before my eyes, and now Survivors is across from Oz. Ah, well. I play a Brit game every Intercon, it seems, so maybe some variety is in order. There's also Ghosts of Urquhart anyway, but I'd rather play the first game in a series before its sequel. Last Seder, however, is totally possible. I had no idea it ran so long. I hope I have enough time between Oz in the afternoon to get to it in the evening. I'm also interested in Super Villain Academy in the morning on Saturday, which is run by the awesome Chicago people and to which Jared gave a good review. I'm not sure there's anything on Friday that appeals to me-- maybe the Jungle Book game, but honestly the blurb doesn't wow me. Maybe I'll just chill that day. I'd rather have one game Friday and then two on Saturday than everything on one day, but whatever, I'll roll.
 

Stupid Inqscribe

Still fighting with that Inqscribe video subtitling program at work, freezing constantly and not pausing as quick as it needs to. It's driving me crazy. I can just barely manage to get it to function with little tricks here and there. For the videos that freeze every time when I open them to subtitle, I managed to make them work by opening an old subtitling file that I know does work, substituting the new video for the old one, and then resaving it as a different file. I have no idea why that helps, but it does. Also, the more frequently you hit the pause button, the quicker it responds-- almost like it's a sticky physical mechanism that seizes up without constant motion. Again, I have no idea why that helps. I have never been very technically savvy. I'm proud of myself to have figured out those things, though probably anyone who knows anything about these things either would have known to do that stuff, or figured out a way better and more sophisticated solution. It would probably work better on a faster machine, but it was installed by my predecessor in this job and I can't seem to find any disc or download option that would allow me to install it somewhere else.
