Poor car is sad. Should have just had her towed. Now she needs engine help. A kind friend has loaned me a car for now.

11:11 am - Converting video files for Palm Pre
|
This may work for other phones with 480x320 screens, and could easily be adapted for others. I played around with mencoder and found settings that work to play video on my phone using the built-in codecs.
I wrote it into a bash script for Linux, but the settings themselves should work for Mac or Windows. For batch processing, for now I'll just run the command several times on different files with && between them, but more automation would be nice.
( script follows )
current mood: accomplished

2:04 pm - anime... horror
|
Hi! So, I have volunteered to do anime for LosCon this year. LosCon changes a lot each year, so maybe this won't be a permanent commitment...
LosCon's themes this year are:
Friday: Horror
Saturday: Dress Like a Pirate Day
Sunday: Honoring Writers and Artists
Now the first two sound like themes I can easily fit with the anime room. Sunday... well, I'll think of something. I don't know if I can come up with enough licensed DVDs with anime about writers and artists, but we'll see. I could always go random or pick some other theme.
I've already done the pirate theme for BayCon.
Horror... well, I can think of vampires, and Portrait of Petite Cossette... what horror-themed anime do you recommend? Thanks!
current mood:  silly

2:50 pm - Palm Pre review
|
I typed this as an email and then thought perhaps some others would be interested. Also I have yet to find a Livejournal app for the Pre.
Also, internet at home is still down, so no anysize.org/canadia.info/etc. until Etheric shows up and makes it all better. I have set up a status page here: http://carhart.com/~ashi/anysize-status/
( long review ahead )

mmm Psycho Donuts has tasty vegan donuts now. They gave me a little bubble wrap to play with too. They even knew by my Soy Boy t-shirt which kind I wanted. They only have one vegan flavor so far. It has cinnamon on it. Mmm.

1:17 pm - Cross Game
|
I've been a fan of Adachi Mitsuru's manga and anime since the 80's. I've been loving Cross Game so far, currently airing in Japan. I love how Wakaba is a main character, even though ( spoiler )
I wish Crunchroll would stream it, but at least I got them to put up a page on it in their library for discussion etc. :) http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Cross_Game
So far Adachi's only officially English translated works have been two volumes of his short-story manga anthology, "Short Program." I have a bunch of his manga in Japanese, and would gladly buy it in English too. His characters are likable and pretty realistic, though his character design is pretty far from realistic. :)
Happy Friday.
current mood:  sleepy
