My Random Thoughts

Happy New Year to All!

Merry Christmas to all.

I’ve posted some more video from our trip to OLF this year. I won’t be winning any movie awards with them but compared to some of the stuff on YouTube…

You can get it at http://youtube.com/user/TLLTS.

I’ve still got the drawing at the show to put up.

I had a great time at OLF this year. It was great meeting up and talking with our listeners. It was also great to meet up again with my co-hosts that I haven’t seen since everyone has moved from the Lehigh Valley (except Pat). We’ll have to find a midway point to get together more often. Many thanks must also go out to the organizers of OLF for putting together such a great show, without their hard work we wouldn’t have had so much fun.
I’ve posted most of the pictures I took here. I’ve got some video that I’ll get posted once I edit it.

This was after we got into Columbus airport.

The real reason I don’t blog often.

Happy Birthday to Me. I’m 44 today.
I don’t feel old but it seems different when you write it out. Oh well, off to eat some cake.

Mmmm, cake.

The Nokia 770 is now fulfilling one of the main reasons I bought it for.
At home I run MythTV on my desktop but I never seem to have time after I get
home to watch the few programs that I record on it. Heck, if it wasn’t for
Sunday night cartoons on Fox and Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network I probably
wouldn’t even need MythTV.
After digging around on the web, I found on the Maemo site a script called 770-encode
that uses MEncode to convert video into a format that the Nokia will play using its
video player. I had to write a wrapper script so that the file names I get from Myth
ended up in a format that the encode script understood but after that it’s almost all
automatic. After I pick the shows in Myth to record, Myth will then run a user job
which calls the script. The result is I end up with a newly encoded file in my home directory
which I then copy over to the Nokia.
My next task will be to write a script that will sync the Nokia to the desktop.

This is a test to see if I can post from my nokia 770.
