The White Party in Mackay. To my personal knowledge, this would have to be the first event of this kind in Mackay. Co produced along side a string of events as part of Mackay Festival of Arts, this particular event is brought in a spectacular fashion at the brand new Mackay Exchibition and Entertainment Centre – MECC by the mighty efforts from the Council.

Im really looking forward to this event as well as I will not only get to play there with number of artists I have performed with before (eg. John Ferris, Reece/Biggsy and Mikee Metro) but also will end up working along with DJ Archie who I almost worked with in Sydney few months ago @ Home/Sydney but also play to Jane Grigg and Alex Taylor. Jamp packed and full of fun!  Exciting Week-end.

Since my departure from Mackay region late last year, it will be great to catch up with some of my great friends and family for a short 2 night stay.  Will see you there!

Quite a busy week-end ahead on the live visual front for me. Its great! This week-end is a start of an amazing festival up in North Queensland called – Land Crabs – Outdoor Cancerial Celbration.  Im performing on the 17th of July which is Friday night as – vdmo Kstati and following night you can see vj plankton covering over Saturday night.

GetUp is an independent, grass-roots community advocacy organisation giving everyday Australians opportunities to get involved and hold politicians accountable on important issues. Current campaign: CensorDyne comes as a reference to The Government’s test trials on internet censorship and presents its response in a shape of parody piece which is expected to get some air play on the Quantas flights to Canberra frequently commuted by politicians.

This morning have finally added one of my clips to videopong.net – Video Loops Sharing Website. Check out my clips here. Enjoy! .. more will be uploaded shortly.

For last few years my video editing software of choice has been Sony Vegas. Very straight forward and complete software package which can cover large part of your video and audio editing needs.
Recently I have come across an issue which others might stumble upon if they happen to work in Windows environment.
Few weeks ago I tried to open Vegas to do some editing on a few files, yet despite such attempt, launching screen would freeze at “Initializing Audio Engine” section and wouldn’t go any further.
Today I have decided to properly investigate this and allow for some solutions to be presented for those that come across it also.

First and Foremost. Strong chances are that this issues resolves around Internet Explorer 7 or 8 for you as well. If you happen to install new version of IE 7 or 8 or it has been automatically upgraded through Windows Update feature, its a good indication as to why you might be experiencing this.
1. First solution. Revert back to Internet Explorer 6 and it should be back to normal. Do a restart though. A number of people online had similar queries and it seems to be pretty common issue with others.
2. Solution Two. Go to your Control Panel. System Properties (Advanced Tab). Performance Settings. Data Execution Prevention. Tick the radio button for “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those that I select”. Click “Add” and select Vegas.exe (7, from your Program directory Structure. and OK it.

With a bit of luck you will have your Vegas back into action in no time. Hope this will help someone. Comment underneath if it did. Cheers.
