below, is my “LifeStream”, mainly consisting of micro-blogging updates from my phone - btw, every zannel link is a pic or video…
but, there is also other stuff - usually by other people that i come across - such as links, music, photos or whatever that i wanted to share publically for some reason or another…this is continually updated in real time throughout the day, pretty much every day… if you want an idea of who i am and what i do with my time and energy, read on…
if you came looking for actual blog posts only, the left side bar has a number of browsing and search options… anything else you may be looking for is probably found on the right somewhere…

|
|
5:34pm | After many tests with Handbrake i am very disappointed - the video quality is bad, the files huge.. Some cool features but the videos suck! |
|
|
5:14pm | Internet still out but the message at tech support now mentions something about their problems with Qwest Communications… |
|
|
3:33pm | But we still want to paint or replace the table out there… Will post a pic after we figure that out… |
|
|
3:32pm | Well, THAT was a chore, but it’s much better… The whole frame thingy that is supposed to hold a canopy was a huge job to break down… |
|

2:09pm | Terra and i are outside, making some major changes to the back patio… If all goes according to plan, it’s gonna be sweet… |

|
|
1:56am | Oh, btw, my DS is white, of course :) Mom gave it to me to match my white PSP… Ive just VERY rarely seen a DS game that tempted me… |
|
|
1:54am | Playing Final Fantasy III on my DS that ive had since july and never even opened the box until yesterday… Not a DS fan, just an FF fan ;) |

10:31pm | It may be the fastest loyalty turnaround in my life ever, but Handbrake is incredible!!! For dvd-to-psp ripping, anyway… |
|
|
6:40pm | And the conversion took like 20 minutes!! And i have had this prog for months!! |
|
|
6:38pm | UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Handbrake made a dvd rip and the final vid has two audio tracks - the soundtrack, hit a button, and it’s the commentary! |
|
|
6:05pm | Trying Handbrake for dvd-to-psp - ive had it a long time and dont remember why i didnt like it.. It, uh, does seem to support multi-audio.. |
|
|
5:28pm | My holy grail would be a prog that would make a file with psp-compatible multiple audio streams so movies could have commentaries, etc…. |
|
|
5:24pm | Staring at that red light on my router… Wishing it was green… |
|
|
4:34pm | The way i do dvd-to-psp is rip the dvd, convert vob to avi, then avi to mp4 - that’s 3 separate progs, but FormatFactory is all-in-one… |
|
|
4:28pm | But the best thing is that it will convert anything! And the interface is dumb-proof - for simplicity, i dont think ive seen better… |
|
|
4:26pm | Im really diggin’ that new conversion software i got - its really fast and does a good job, but it is a little lacking in advanced settings |
|
|
2:06pm | Hooked mom up with some video podcasts on her psp (news and stuff) and she is watching them now and is just delighted :) |
|
|
1:16pm | Just breathe, christopher… |
|
|
1:15pm | Whoa! Zianet confirms ’severe network difficulties’ across new mexico, arizona, idaho, utah, and colorado… No repair time estimate :( |
|
|
12:21pm | Grrrr, internet is out… It’s the isp (zianet) obviously having an outage - all their tech support lines are busy… |

10:49pm | playing Silent Hill 0rigins on my psp, in bed, in the dark, with headphones… I do this alot lately at bedtime :) it’s not a bad game… |
|
|
9:57pm | Great sci-fi, and a good pace of telling the story and about this incredible world you are in… A shooter but firmly rooted in the story.. |
|
|
9:55pm | Bioshock is REALLY something… I can almost forget it is a fps… Or at least it may be an fps i would actually want to play… |
|
|
9:22pm | Playing the Bioshock (PS3) demo - it is AMAZING! So atmospheric, breathtaking setting, great pacing, i am just in awe… |
|
|
1:36pm | Trying out FormatFactory, a convert-anything-to-anything program.. Why have i never heard of this? It rocks! (thanks LifeHacker!) |
