New experience: a hard pretzel so fresh that the insides are still soft. Yum.
Asides
How to convert audio format in a video file:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ab 448k output.mkv
I can’t believe that Game Developer Magazine is ending in July! I hope they don’t switch my remaining issues to some Windows publication like the last two computer magazines I subscribed to did when they ended.
The upgrade from LibreOffice 3.6 to 4.0 on Windows wants you to reboot the computer. I expected better of free software.
It is night time. David is in bed. Deb is sitting next to him reading a book titled “Hey! Wake Up!“
Onions, garlic, jalapenos, beef, tomato sauce, and sazon goya went into the oven. Only one supper will come out.
I want to see a 100% open source android distro. The first pass could be AOSP or CyanogenMod without the closed source GApps. F-Droid would be pre-installed, along with a selection of basic apps like K9 Mail and aCal.
I found this post: http://www.jethrocarr.com/2012/01/04/100-pure-freedom-phone/ talking about the same thing, but I don’t see anyone who is actually doing it.
Postgres Upgrade
I just upgraded from PostgreSQL 8.3 to 9.2. In doing so, I also went from a Sun optimized build (since I installed their supplied version before) to a self built version where I didn’t fiddle with optimization at all (the documentation suggests -O5, but I let it go with the default of -O3). Despite the lazy build, it seems a lot faster in terms of the queries some of my python code executes.
Convert flac to mp3:
flac -cd track.flack | lame -h - track.mp3
When David falls down, Deb says Whoopsie-Daisy. I, however, say Whoopsie-David.
