Covers today’s events as well because Sectionals was continuing into today, and because I won’t be doing one next week, what with being off the continent most of the week.  At least now that I’ve gotten the cat out of my suitcase:

And now I must figure out what to do about the submission to iTunes which was completely ignored.  I wish there was some obvious way to check its status.  Though maybe not next week, given how much else I’m going to have to for this podcast then.

At one point yesterday I thought this might prove undoable, because all the videos for China & Korea arrived on Sunday, and it was a long process watching enough of them to get news without the scoring protocols available(or even the scores in the case of Korea, though at least I had the placements). But after a final scramble when I finally got the top three from Lyon, I finished it this morning and thankfully was able to leave it converting to usable format immediately before going to work, though uploading after stumbling home through the snow took a little longer than expected

This one I started working on earlier still, but I didn’t have much time for it this weekend anyway.  Still despite MovieMaker crashing four times while editing and then a fifth time during my initial attempt to convert I got it uploaded around nine-and then it would not process.  I finally slept on it and woke up to find it finally had processed, and just finished the annotations.
