A Single HD Video File

I think less than half of our personal videos are on YouTube. Last night, I found and ripped two, major missing vacations during 2010 and 2011. They were added to my mobile drive for eventual uploading too. At present, these new files add up to nearly 80 GB. I keep running up beyond my Telus Internet's plan of 150 GB/month, as it is. It'd also take hours and hours to upload all the mp4s at the pathetic 4 or 5 Mbps upload speed.


I'd been thinking of running to a computer lab at BCIT someday to make use of the fast Internet speeds. Today, though, I thought maybe I could just try to see what the speeds were at the New Westminster Public Library. So, I walked up the hill with a mobile drive in my pocket.


The uploads speeds were about 5 times faster than from the apartment. Yet, I only managed to uploaded one file in 40 minutes. I chose the most recent file from last month. We drove down to Snoqualmie Pass via US Route 2 and Levenworth, WA. We went down on Thursday, August 20th in order to help set up for Ben and Larissa's wedding near Lake Kachess. The wedding was on Saturday, the 22nd.

The video only contains a bit of the story of our weekend there. It's surely not a definitive video of the events during those days. Yet, as this type of raw video does, it will help us to remember the weekend. We can check Jay's videos on YouTube anytime and from anywhere.
