Having an IM conversation with someone in Iran, turns out they "hate" Bush...so random. But I had to reply, "that's why I voted for Obama" 7 hrs ago
For the past couple months I’ve been having some real problems with my Macbook Pro just shutting down when it goes to reserve power rather then gracefully shutting down and going into an automatic suspend where it restarts loading the cached memory like it never shut down at all. A huge feature I’ve been missing and had been too lazy to figure out. Then in the last few weeks it’s been just shutting down anywhere from 45 minutes to a…
Looks like the community is getting a new version of Handbrake to support 640x H.264 and the news got out even though it’s not a final release and users are warning people not to use it.
But I still don’t get the big deal with H.264. Even thought I need to go through this post and make it more simple and fix a few errors I’ve fully shown that H.264 isn’t all that. You’ll see the file size is nothing to get too excited…
Lowes rugs are fairly cheap. Avery loves the new rug we bought her, the first thing she did was lay down and fake sleep.
And to make this post techie this is the first picture I used for a post from my new Pearl phone. Which I need to post about soon.
I’ve started selling links on my own as well as on Text Link Ads because I could both give a better deal to the buyer and not worry about that 50% cut they’re taking. All-in-all I’m making some good money off TLA, I just hope it keeps up since it’s paying for my hosting and a tech toy each month. Which is great since I’ve made more in the month of November then I ever have with these stupid text ads through Yahoo!;…
Since my car died and I wasn’t about to take the chance of an esculated maintenance we had to get a new car. Looking through the car trader mag last week and dreaming that I could afford a Dodge Magnum I found a block with a 2004 Jetta for “$2,500 that had to sell this week”, I later figured out it was an ad of sorts for the LA and Orange County Auto Auctions. I figured I’d have to check…
As you might already know I’m in SF for the Dreamforce ‘06 conference. I had petitioned to go to this conference a while back when the task of integrating salesforce with our systems (namely an AS/400) was given to me months back. The sole reason was just to learn how to make my hat as the salesforce administrator easier to wear. After this morning, it’s going to be a lot harder then I had imagined.
Not because the tasks that I…
The new iPod video formatting is extremely hard to follow and hopefully this review will help. I created it because I just wanted to put the highest quality video on my 5g video iPod for playback on a TV.
DVD Ripping
The first hurdle was finding the app that would rip my DVDs to H.264. I used Instant Handbrake (with the unofficial icons of course) in the past, but as you might know it rips the DVDs in the old file size of…
“Wired columnist Bruce Schneier has an article up called ‘Quickest Patch Ever’, about a patch that was issued within three days to fix a vulnerability in Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM).” From the article: “Now, this isn’t a ‘vulnerability’ in the normal sense of the word: digital rights management is not a feature that users want. Being able to remove copy protection is a good thing for some users, and completely irrelevant for everyone else. No user is ever going…

What a tragedy not having [Alex] on FL anymore. I really had a lot of respect for the product because [he] knew [was] behind it. I also understand [he does not want] to put [his] name on a product like FL right now because of quality. As all FL users know there are some issues, issues that we probably all just deal with because we love the product so much. And while we can do that…
