Upload problems solved!

I got notice from Narrative support that a new version of the Narrative Uploader for the Mac is available and it finally solved the upload problems I had from the beginning. Yay! No more limiting the upload speed to get anything to upload at all. Oh, and I notice they fixed the "kb/s" vs. "kB/s" confusion, too. Now it say kB/s everywhere. Good work, thanks.

If you're on a Mac, you may want to download the Uploader again from start.getnarrative.com. Check the version number as displayed in the Finder. It should now start with 2014 (whereas the previous one started with 2013).

I dropped it. Twice!

It had to happen eventually. I had the camera clipped to the strap of a shoulder bag and while fiddling with my coat, it slipped from the strap and dropped from about breast height on to a tiled floor. It landed face-down, with no apparent damage and continues to work just fine. Phew.

Two days later: I was trying to clip it to the collar of my coat when I dropped it again - into the (empty) washbasin. And this time, the case even came apart for a millimetre or so. I clipped it back together and everything's still working fine. Double-phew.

I should definitely get the ruggedised version, if they ever make one.

I've had the Narrative Clip for a week now. It's been a quiet week, which is actually a good thing as it allows me to experiment with wearing the device in public.

Was Konzerte angeht, muss man eben nehmen, was kommt. Wobei, manchmal kann man auch ein bisschen nachhelfen und den Künstlern ein Stück weit entgegen kommen - wovon ich 2013 gelegentlich Gebrauch gemacht habe.

Nach 12 Konzerten in 2012 habe ich es 2013 also auf insgesamt 20 geschafft. Das ist aber noch gar nichts, verglichen mit dem Menschen, der mir beim Low-Konzert in Schorndorf erzählt hat, dass dies bereits sein 126stes(!) in diesem Jahr wäre (er war Frührentner, nicht Musikjournalist).

Nun denn, wen habe ich denn alles so gesehen? Und insbesondere auch: Wo?
