VICTORY OVER QUICKTIME/KODAK IS MINE....

YEEEEHHAAWWW BABBY!!

The time had come in the life and times of lockerridge, to replace a Kodak camera that was part of a camera/photo printer dock package, that was ruined during a run for shelter from the seige of tornado,hail, and wind damage that has taken over Arkansas this spring of 2008.

I opted to replace it with
another Kodak camera that would adapt to my photo printer dock that will recharge my batteries as well as print my photos directly from the camera.
I was aware that the simple camera, would only produce video files in the .mov file type. This is a problem if you have a computer with Windows and not a Mac from Apple, as this video file type will only be played on a Quicktime media player from Apple.

Determined to not buy a camera with only that one file type produced.. I proceeded with the usual procedure.
I searched and browsed and checked and compared.. and settled on the Kodak Z712 IS would suit my needs wonderfully and probably forever.
I asked the clerk where I bought the camera if the two sets of rechargable batteries from my old camera would work in the new one as well.. also if the video file type of this new Kodak was capable of producing .mov and .avi as well..
He assured me that whatever I desired could be had with the new camera.. and that of course the batteries would interchange as Kodak only has one kind of rechageable battery in thier products..

( the camera cost me more than the previous dock and camera combined did.. it should be able to get Brad Pitt to star in my videos if I wanted it too!)

Imagine my shock.. and then irritation ... and then plain ole pissed off to the maximum .. when I discovered the guy lied to me.

Imagine that!

Now picture this in your mind folks.. this new camera will connect to my printer dock directly, just as the old one did.. but the batteries are not rechargable that comes with the camera.. and .. hang onto your hat here.. they cost 20 dollars apiece to replace them!

The rechargable ones that are made specifically for this camera cost 35 dollars.. if you can find them in a store.. thank goodness for Best Buy in Fayetteville, Arkansas.. college town.. they have the newest of anything you find on the net.. in stock. This part of the purchase fiasco fixed.. I settled into a somewhat calmer state of mind.. but then..

It would not produce any type of video file except .mov.

Little bubbles started popping in my brain.. yep.. brain boil..

I contacted Kodak about my problem and asked for a solution from them.. their return mail told me the solution was to purchase the Quicktime Pro from Apple .. of course.
This they jubilantly explained to me.. would give me editing options and a player to play the videos with as well.

I replied asking for the forms to fill out and address to return
their camera to them and get my money refunded to me, explained in great detail that this was a complete and total misrepresentation of their product.. there is no information to be had on either the Kodak website, store, or help and support pages as to this even being something that is not given to the customer as a personal choice type option.

I have not heard from them yet..

BIG SURPRISE HUH?

Later after the blood vein in my temple was restored to normal proportions..
I set about, researching the problem through the Microsoft help and solutions pages..
I find that Microsoft has allowed Apple to develope and use freely a converter which allows Quicktime to play and edit .avi and .wma Microsoft media player files.
"BUT" Apple does not return this favor to Microsoft.

WTF?????

THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

THIS MEANT.. WAR!

NANNY NANNY POO POO KODAK/QUICKTIME NAZI TACTICS!!!!!!

NO LONGER DO I HAVE TO STEP IN THAT PIG PUDDLE WATER THAT IS GREEN!

Media Convert - free and on line - convert and limited editing of most all types of audio and video files

http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php#conditions

This website is FREE!! Yes you read that correctly.. FREE!
No gimmicks.. no trials.. nothing underhanded.. trust me, I have checked this place with every tool at my disposal to
find a string or even a piece of lint .. it is not there.. this is legit.
Simple and easy to use .. they will host your file for 120 days if you request it..

They offer a link you can send through email to friends and family
so they might download it to their computer.

They do not offer hotlinking to stream out the videos or images, but that is just a small thing compared to what they can do for us.

The list of audio files,video files, adobe reader files.. ringtones.. documents, etc.. they can convert to what ever you want it to be, is enormous!

They have a limit of 150 MB for a file size.. but even the largest document file can be split into 5 MB clips and then they
have a link to a splicer that another site is offering so you can restore it to one file.
I can now take my videos.. edit them right there in their editor.. and then convert them from .mov to .wma, any of the alphabet is supported it would seem.. even .flp and shockwave file types
from obsure places can be converted.. and it is very fast ..

LOCKERRIDGE ENGERGIZER BUNNY FAST!!

MAY 23, 2008 WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? .. THIS IS JUST A JOKE!!

MAY 23, 2008 WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? .. THIS IS JUST A JOKE!!

WELL.. I THINK IT IS FUNNY ANYWAY.. HOPE YOU DO ALSO!

( THIS IS PURELY FICTION OKAY.. PLEASE NO ONE TAKE THIS AS A REAL THING... DON'T WANT SNOPES.COM TO INVESTIGATE ME!)

SEVERAL HIGH MEDIA PROFILED PEOPLE WHERE ASKED THE AGE OLD QUESTION:

"WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?"

AND HERE ARE THEIR ANSWERS..

( REMEMBER THIS IS FICTION!)

 

 

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN McCAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in
cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road
This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that
every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then,
this really isn't about me.......

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must
first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes
after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is
help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT'
problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn
from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and
not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to
know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is
either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price
dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?'
That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken
is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we
boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal
media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.
That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as
simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its
life long dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part Internet Explorer has experienced some technical difficulties and must close.. we are sorry if you were in the middle of something.. you are going to lose 4 hours of work because of echicken"

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens!

 

MY FAVORITE!!!

 

COLONEL SANDERS:



Did I miss one?
