Best Video Editor Ever

2/23/2007 – 12:17 pm
I have been looking for a long time (10+ years) for a good video editor on the PC. And well my quest has come to an end. AVIDemux has come to my aid. This entirely FREE application was rooted from UNIX and then ported to both Windows and OSX. It rocks. With encoding to almost any format, simple splits and joins. Plus special effects, and not the crap like twirls and such, but real filters like noise, deinterlace, and sharpend/smooth. I congratulate the authors of this software for a fine achievement. However they are still in heavy development, so I do recommend using the CVS versions...

Impact

9/26/2006 – 6:27 pm
So the weirdest this has happened to me. I used to be part owner an ISP here in town, and at one point employed about 75 people. During the 5 year run, I would say that a good 150 to 200 people actually were employed there at some time. It was a shithole, the wannabe corporate types made us wear shirt and tie, even to work under the floor tiles and running cables. Long hours and crappy pay. However it had some sort of "Vietnam" effect on all that passed thru the doors. To this day I still have people walk up to me, ask me if my name is Dave, and tell me of the wonderful times, and that it was the greatest place to work. However it sucked. I made a lot of friends, and because of this current stupidity that we all had to endure together, I am still ...

Linux – verdict is still out

7/21/2006 – 8:55 am
So I haven't posted to my blog in a while. Reason? Linux. I started using Linux as my desktop, and have been looking for various plugins, and etc for use. It seems that the underdog unix os is still lagging behind.My biggest complaint right now is that Adobe has not released Flash 8 for Linux, better yet, they are not going to release it as they are now working on Flash 9 and will have a beta out this Fall. So if you run linux you are stuck with version 7. That sucks, Adobe sucks. It is like they have been sucking at the Mac and Windows tit for so long they have forgotten they are there for the users and not their competition agreements with the big guys. Not to mention there is not a version of Photoshop for Linux, not that the Mac OSX verison would not take ...
