WELCOME TO MY COBWEB


My Gallery

For Father's Day 2004 I built myself a paper model trebuchet. It's fun, but inconsistent and inacurate. I'm looking toward building a wood one next.

My fiber arts pages.

Personal web pages are a vanity thing right? Here are some pix of me.

My real Gallery and an older collection of photos.

Bikes.

The Canon PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph takes decent mjpeg videos. They're HUGE so I reencode them using mencoder. Windows codec for playback are avaliable here: ffdshow or newer, but unofficial versions from Free-Codecs.com.

For those that may be interested, here's the script I wrote to make reencoding them a bit easier.

#!/bin/sh
base=`echo ${1} | cut -d\. -f1`
mencoder ${1} -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -srate 8000 -o /dev/null
mencoder ${1} -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:vpass=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -srate 8000 -o ${base}-tc.avi

The TuxScreen has 3.3v pcmcia slots by default, they can be made 5v so that they support a wider range of older cards. Here is my documentation on how to do it.


I've been playing around with down draft gasification of wood, looking for a way to heat my work space. My efforts can be seen here.


If you happen to be in Bratislava and need some clothes cleaned, try this dry cleaner.

Or for a quick bite and a cuppa joe try the Bagel & Coffee Story.
