Today was such a long day and it was almost entirely filled with
working on my metadata presentation. It's getting a bit ridiculous.
I originally decided to do the presentation because I didn't want to
write the three to five page paper and worry about in-text citations
and all that crap. And now I have spent almost two full days working
on this freaking presentation. I could have knocked that paper out
in an afternoon. I obviously made the wrong choice.
Despite all the work I put in today I still need to write a script
and then record the presentation. I was going to just use my outline
to speak from but after doing some practice runs today to see where I
was at on time, I ended up just rambling and was obviously speaking
out of my ass most of the time. So I'm going to take advantage of
the fact that I'm recording the presentation, not giving it in front
of the class, and fully write out what I'm going to say. And that
script will probably end up being as long, if not longer, than the
paper I should have written in the first place.
On the plus side, I've probably learned a lot more about PBCore
making this presentation than I would have writing the paper. And
I'm pretty happy with the overall look of my presentation. Also, the
schema is written in XML and we had to provide an example of the
elements but written in plain language. I did that using a table to
show the elements and the values but I also decided to try out the
XML. I have no idea if it is actually correct, and I think I made
some of it up, but it looks pretty much like all the examples I have
come across in my research.
Tonight, after finally finishing my reference list for my
presentation, I decided to call it a night. I'm rewatching Sark's
latest stream of Zombie Army Trilogy, and that inspired me to
play the first game because that is the only one I have. I'm really
not that great at any of the zombie games. Certainly not the CoD
versions and the Sniper Elite version doesn't go much better,
but it is fun getting the bullet-cams. I also briefly played Tera
until I got in way over my head in a cathedral and died.
Tomorrow I will need to write my presentation script and then record
it. I also need to go over to the old house to make sure I don't
have anything left over there. Best case scenario, I will also be
able to start working on my presentation for my other class. My goal
had been to finish it by tomorrow but the due date got moved back so
it won't be the end of the world if I can't get it done. We'll see
what happens.
