Dumbbells

Ok I seem to have the walking down pact. I think i have down so much that  I notice i wake up approx. 4:30 - 5:00 every morning?!?! Is that my body trying to tell me something?

I remeber reading Body-for-Life book.. which said soemthign liek if you want to change ur body you have to weight train. Excercising alone will just make you be a smaller you. So if you are shaped like a pear  you’ll just be a smaller pear; since I don’t want that. I’m going to change it!!! I have my bench here just looking pretty… time to make up a routine nad put itto use.. and chisel a semi-god like body :D.

(Hey I’m being realistic here… I don’t think I can chisel a god like body so i’ll settle for semi-god.. hehehehehehe )

Mythtv: ffmpeg slooooww

Ok i finally have ffmpeg compiled from source and nuvexport ready to go. Yesterday i spent most of the flippin evening trying to get these tign to work.. nuvexport would just end up telling me:

Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.

After seeing that blasted line for a few hours I just decided to give it a break an head to bed.

As per usual with computer things once u leave it and come back to something STRANGE seems to always happen. Nuvexport work?!?!?!?! One thing i have noticed tough is that the shit slow.. I don’t know if it’s my P4 1.8Ghz machine with just 384MB Ram but over 3hrs to encode to xvid/divx? FPS is only like 3FPS !!!

I do like how nuvexport picks out what shows I have recorded :D 
(P.S. the Virgin show is just a encoding test hehehe) As i say that how long will it take for a 45min show?!??! this one here is only like 20mins?!?!

No sah!!!!!!!!! Sumting MUST wrong. I’ll have to google and see what is what.

MythTV and divx/xvid

Ok…. these 2GB recordings are startign to get on my nerves now especially when u know you can get them into smaller sizes with divx.xvid.

I tried to transcode but that just seemd to move the file from 2.1GB to 1GB.. still not acceptable.. nope. It converts it to nupplevideo?? i think that is the name cause I just see a new file type in my DIR that has a *.nuv extension.
I’m going to try and use nuvexport and see how i fear with that. I need to try out the abilty to cut out the commercials see how good it does that.
I must add though i’m loving my MythTV… i just need to get teh radio aspect of it working and also fine tune my remote for some of the key bindings.

Ohh well i’ll keep you guys posted.

Bye-Bye Sysinternals and Winternals

Programs like ERD Commander and some TCPtools have helped me out a few times in some tight situations with Windows. To think that Microsoft has acquired the two guys who put this software pack together I hope can only mean good things for MS.

In the meanwhile while they are still free is shall be downloading all the free apps from http://www.sysinternals.com/ that have soem sort of interest to me.

Anime Trading Day 3.0

Some anime loving frens of mine had.. yep u guessed it a Trading Day where we just got together and traded some anime.

It wasn’t to bad nice little turn out. Most of the aniem that was beign traded were: Mai Otome, Outlaw Star, xxxHolic, Chrno Crusade, Eureka Seven and some more. Ironically there was NO Naruto traded. I believe all of us are tired of that damn series now.. u see if they would just follow the manga it would be great…. but NOOOOO they are filling the shit with so many fillers it nuh funny.
We could have used a bit more power outlets and DVD burners.
