Phony FireWire eventPosted by Loren Miller
Folks-
This ever happen to anyone? I turned on my cell phone, placed it on the desk next to a couple of 8-year-old LaCie FireWire drives, those big blue and grey 60GB plastic boxes? As I heard the phone beep to life, I suddenly got a DEVICE REMOVAL warning in FCP. Outstanding. This is why shielded cables are important-- except I thought my cables *were* shielded!! - Loren Today's FCP keytip: Instantly find Next/Previous timeline Gaps with Shift/Option -G !

[Yeah that was me that posted that mobiles knock LaCies offline. I saw it with my own eyes a few years ago. Phone rings, drive falls down.]
Delicious. I probably tuned out because I reissted cell phones for years. Well, lesson learned. What if I wrap myself in tin foil? I might like that. - Loren Today's FCP keytip: Instantly find Next/Previous timeline Gaps with Shift/Option -G ! Final Cut Studio 2 KeyGuide? Power Pack.

I think the wireless provider might make a difference too. I've never had any problems with my Motorola or my LG phones (both Verizon), but the last director I worked for had a Nokia that would start that nonsense at least 5 seconds before the actual ring. With the speakers turned up so she could hear everything, I wanted to shoot myself by the end of it.
I wrapped my cat in tin foil to see if it would keep the hair off my couch. She looks like a baked potato in the litterbox
Mike, Let us know if you get pulled over wrapped in tin foil. Hopefully the cop will have a sense of humor. The conversation could go something like this: Cop (approaching car window): "License and regissss.....hhhholy shnykies (hand now on gun), sir, please step out of the vehicle" Mike (wrapped in tin foil): "It's Date Night" CUT TO: Cop looks over at Mrs. Mike (also wrapped in tin foil - smiling) Cop (empathetic): "AAAAhhhh....move along" When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.
