palindromic number

i'd like to welcome visitor 1221 especially because it is a palindromic number (looks the same forwards as it looks backwards), like the dorian mode as i was talking about the other day... although that visitor has gone now and may or may not return again, they came twice in the last two hours trying to find out something about the beaux arts building that i so love...

and then just a few words about sony vegas which i've started using today to put some music to the video i took of la pro that day when he fell off spski's bike and i put him on a train to gatwick trussed up in inexpertly applied bandages...

i'm enjoying it and i'm somewhat intrigued by the fact that i can output video of proper quality using it... albeit video that has come originally from my little camera and it's compression... so i've had to get another piece of software to compress the result back down again in order to make it a suitable size for the internet... funny business...

at the minute that piece of video is in DIVX format, i hope those of you who wish to check out my video's can see DIVX, it does seem to be the most popular of the mpeg-4 codecs so i will probably stick to it... may even pay them the £20 they want for the converter...

the music i used is one of the piano tunes from love & understanding that i listening the last time i went up the beaux arts building, odd circular route back to my 1221st visitor...

oh and i've managed to lose all my cards (travel, cash & credit) in the back of nippy's car... last night i was feeling so cold and hungry... couldn't bare the thought of leaving the house but had no food in... nippy came round to pick up the money for her PA which we borrowed for the party i didn't go to and she gave me a lift to crystal kebabs on holloway road, what i loved by siri hustvedt was in my pocket and it must have pushed out my blue plastic wallet... so no money until monday beyond what G lent me this morning...

and i just got paid as well.. typically awkward...

i've been reading the siri hustvedt book avidly today, really enjoying it... very moving, certain passages in it that really strike home, in a passing offhand way...
