Day two of this saga this frikkin drama continues. I was early today again.. I spent 30 minutes in traffic trying to get to work from a 5 minute distance drive maybe 10minutes if you walked really fast. I still got here at 7:50 am even though my goal was before 7:30 am. However early is early.

I got introduced to a few new anime in the past week. really good stuff. 1080eye and shini from animesynergy been rolling in the anime line up for us to select what we’re gonna watch for the spring season..

here’s 1080eye’s report card for the spring anime line up

Of that list i have selected about 4. they are in order of preference

  1. Darker Than Black (DARKNESSES DARKNESSES)
  2. Claymore (its been a while since I’ve seen em talk about demons and half demons (inuyasha was the last)
  3. Heroic Age (kinda got some matrix symobilc links)
  4. Kaze no Stigma (magical / fantasy.. i love those)

Koutetsu sangokushi seems slightly watchable but as 1080eye said. the hero is such a bitch.. But maybe they did it to show character growth later on.

Photography wise i haven’t done shit. and the JCDC competition is really only weeks away. The deadline for all contenstant applications are on May 11, 2007. I haven’t even figured out my concept as yet.. as to what i wanna show to the world. I do know however that it will be either a.. Landscape.. or b Nightshot.. Sea scape I would like to try but i’m not so sure about that yet.

Thing is however. that i will selly m current cam on saturday to buy a new one which i planned to use in the competition. will it get here in time.. We can only hope.

Do you have an AVI file downloaded from your videocamera to your Ubuntu system that you want to put on a DVD for your family? Here are some easy steps:

Create an file called CREATOR in the same directory as your AVI file.
Paste the following into that file. Remember to change the filename in the second line before executing. Some of the options can be changed as needed such as the aspect ratio and burn speed:

Quote:

## Change <movie.avi> to the name of your AVI file
ffmpeg -i movie.avi -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq -aspect 16:9 movie.mpg
dvdauthor –title -o dvd -f movie.mpg
dvdauthor -o dvd -T
mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.iso dvd/
growisofs -dvd-compat -dvd-video -speed=4 -Z /dev/dvd ./dvd/*

Change permissions for CREATOR to become executable and then run it from the command line:

Quote:

ramesh@ubuntu:~/movies$ ./CREATOR

I appreciate things like these and I’ve adopted enigma’s style and started blogging them cause it sucks when you wanna do something and you cant remember off your head.. the good old blog is always here for me.

Now to the windows operating system enthusiast the first thing your gonna run your mouth and say is.. but look how much work you gotta do to burn a dvd file.. well here wah S…T….F…U.. yeah you heard it.. i said it.. shut it donkey (shrek voice).. i reallly dont give a damn.. it works its free so go die or something.

April the 23rd.. A new day.. A new me

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Made the final decision on friday the whatever day of april it was that I’ll try my best to never be late again. I strolled into the gleaner at 7:30 am this monday morning. I plan to give it my best in keeping this commitment. I’ve also been thinking about my interpesonal relation ships with people in general.. This may need some adjusting as well. To what level I’m not yet sure.

Another factor to address soon is my level of professionalism, I feel it has fallen.  I’m starting to do procrastinate on a lot of things that I generally didn’t. However with one thing to address at a time, while ensuring to keep the previosly addressed situation in check; I think i will be able to do this.

I’ve already put financial safety nets in place for my self in the event that i just up and quit my job cuase.. I’ve been having that urge alot as of lately reasons behind it. Who knows for sure, Maybe i’m just bored easily and its time to move on, or maybe they’ll find something to keep me entertained at work. (but thats not really thier job is it).

I’m really trying not to make my methods of change which i will apply to result in me shutting my self in a box from people and the world but I’m lacking alot of things now and I think i need to work on the I an  i and forget about everything and everyone right now. The younger me I know would so kick my ass right now If he saw what I’ve become, my habbit and so on in comparison to Where i wanted to be at this age.

Wish me luck fellow bloggers. I go to implement Changes.

Fiesty Fawn and its nicenesseseses lol

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Yeah.. it took a whole night to download the files on a 3mb connection reason.. because the repo’s were under pressure from everyone.. lined up to get a slice of the best distro in the world.. teh_masterer_linux desktop distro ubuntu. So far it just seems like aethstetic upgrades.. but i’m sure the core has been touched to deal with things in a better manner.

What i have done since i’ve installed fiesty is.. compile the latest build of amsn version .97 this is basically windows live on linux.. y ou got webcam usage, you got nudging you got it all. so i just use gaim for my aol and yahoo im accounts now. So amsn owns for 2 reasons.. it looks pretty.. and it gives me back the ability to view hot chicks dacing for me via webcam.

I also installed the theme engine called murrino..l pretty sleek. Has all windows looking curvy and what not.. I also installed a new icon pack to complement it.. Really beautiful.. headover to gnome-loook.com if you really wanna pimp you system.

Saw this kid on techjamaica planning on dual booting.. Its so nice to see everybody trying ubuntu abit more.. hopefully the day will come where  people stop buying operating sytems. at least on a home basis.. enterprises may feel more comfortable spending their millions on enterprise edition server os from microsoft.. but the little man at home doign some word processing he could use open office. its not that hard to use at all…

Till my next linux ramble.. or another huge event happens in the open source world.. lata.

The tech junkie is alive again

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

YOOOOOOOOWWWW i’m back.. i’m trying to fight it though bbut my techjunkie urges are at their peak.. i see some stuff that i want.. including that new cam.. but i dunno if i’m really gonna take the plunge as yet.

I also found out that its possible for my qtek 9100 to utilize the blackberry service. yep.. its got a blackberry mail client so i can use push email technology and best of all pay for internet on a monthly basis 1500 per month instead of the disgusting gprs costs…

To all ma linux peoples you better get amsn. its the closest port to msn on linux.. it even gives web cam functionality.. I love it.. love it love it.

um….  I also saw this webcam that i think i’m gonna ownerize really soon along with this watch.. amazon takes all my money when i go on these sprees :(..

here’s the fossil watch.. here’s the logitech web cam..

The watch i’ve been watching for quite some time now.. i dont have a watch ne more and i love the look of that one therefore. i must have it. the web cam is me making use of my 3mb connection to video chat with some hot chicks :)..

Talent… what is mine?

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I’m looking at things in life form a different perspective as of lately. I realize that i’m a talentless loser. The reason for this has been deduced to be the computer and technology I started playing the guitar a few months back and it wasn’t going my way.. yknow what i did. i ran back to my laptop and say screw that.

I saw this vid of this kid shredding away like crazy and said that should be me.

I hope one day to be able to do something other than tech oriented stuff. sigh.. I think i’m gonna make a tshirt that says

computer engineered loser
. I really have no idea what my talent is.. being good at IT and or programming isn’t really a talent either so i really dont know.
