I was working on a repair video for this week - but after most of it was shot, the device ultimately turned out to be irreparable.

These things happen. Repair videos are always a gamble. The idea of starting off with something that's broken and planning on demonstrating it fully working at the end while only possessing basic repair skills is really just asking for trouble.

So a quick pivot and on to plan B:

This new video is about adding track titles to MiniDiscs. It’s definitely not destined to become a blockbuster, however I was pretty confident that everything I hoped to show would function on camera - which was all I needed. Plus, I could get it finished before Friday - which just happens to be International Minidisc day.

Now in other news I’m hoping to shoot a patreon update video in the next couple of days - the usual chat with a couple of semi-interesting tidbits to share. Barring any problems I should have that one done by the weekend and available exclusively for patrons.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

UPDATE;

Regarding the failed video. I’ve stored the clips I’ve shot - with the (long term) intention of using them (at some point in the future) when (and if) I obtain a working device - in order to demonstrate what problems can arise. However these clips are being kept on ice until that situation arises - there are no plans to use them to make half of an unsatisfying (for me) video, I’m happy to wait until I can make the video that I originally envisioned.
