Um... yeah.

OK, so there was considerable vitriol in that last post. I was a little perturbed; I had just finished a call with some guy on a cell phone, who was talking very quietly, and who wouldn’t speak up. I already had the volume on my headset turned all the way up, too.

Ugh.

Not too much going on today; I went to the store earlier and got some of these kick-ass tortillas that Kathee told me about: 3 grams of “countable” carbohydrate. Good stuff. I’m going to whip up some fajitas tomorrow night, so we’ll see how good they really are.

Hm. With the exception of that gigantic update last week, where I explained how I got Linux running on my laptop, there hasn’t really been a long update in quite a while (ever?)… I should do something about that.

Of course, that obviously requires me to do something more interesting than “sit around the apartment watching Farscape and CSI.” But it’s just so darn fun. Especially now that I’ve managed to get mplayer to play the farscape DiVX’s with the audio the correct speed. Here’s a hint: “-afm acm”. And that’s all you get.

Since I’m sitting here with over 13 gigs of stuff in my “please burn me” folder, I think more and more, each day, that a DVD burner would be a good idea. Even though it means I’d have to do some conversion to make them play on my (now “only”) DVD player. MPEG-2 and AC3 audio is the standard for DVD, where SVCD is MPEG-2 video and MPEG-1 layer 3 audio.
