HandBrake for CentOS 5

I’ve compiled HandBrake for CentOS 5. Not tested much but it seems ok. Have a go and don’t kill my Internet connection

HandBrake-cli-0.9.4-1el5.x86_64.rpm (4.8MiB)

Convert W3C (IIS) logs to combined (Apache) format

I needed to import both IIS logs and Apache logs into AWStats. I could not get it to work (cannot remember why). But I ended up creating a zcat that detects and converts W3C logs into combined. You throw uncompressed or compressed log files of either combined or w3c format at it and it spits out combined.

Written in C and depends only on zlib.

Found the lag

The lag was in the TV. The Samsung have a setting called “Game Mode”. Turn that on and the lag disappears. Pinball is fun again.

First HD test

As some of you have seen om my Twitter lately I have begun my HD convertion. I tried my new TV for the first time today and it is amazing. I have all HDMI going to my AVR and one HDMI to the TV, finally an optical SPDIF from the TV to the AVR for TV sound. All is fine and awesome untill I start my current favourite game, Zen Pinball. There is a lag somewhere. When I press L1 or R1 there is a 1/10 delay until I see and hear them react. Haven’t have time to test any more games.

I will try to see if I can disable all processing of the image to see if that helps, next I’ll try to connect the HDMI directly to the TV and finally I will try to connect it to my parents Sony HDTV.

PlayStation network madness

I got my PlayStation3 yesterday and… well, I let the picture speak for itself.

Viggo makes bed in laundry


Viggo likes my scent and he likes to make beds out of anything on the floor. Hence my dirty laundry makes the perfect bed, somewhat silly but still perfect.

Winter Wonder Yard

Today I woke up to this. This is my very large garden. Beautiful snow in the garden… damn cold f*cking snow on the car. Grrrrr….

Todays meal, chili


At Trattoria dela casa mia (my home) I had Chili con Carne (sans frijoles). Nice.

Inglish I haz them

Pretty much every Monday we eat indian food. At the tables there (besides good food) they have these hilarious signs which they probably got with the wine they offer.

Amiga and C64 authentic music

Some crazy dude hooked up a bunch of C64 and later an Amiga to an automatic recording system and recorded pretty much everything produced on the great machines from Commodore. Now you can listen to your favourites without lame emulation. Listen to them as they should sound, as you remember them.
