Just passing by Derby on my way up to Scotland, this coach seems to have turned into a direct journey rather than stopping in cities. #
…which is a shame as someone was supposed to be getting on the same coach as me in Milton Keynes. There were two that left London… #
…with the same number, but they put all the Glasgow-bound travellers on the 2nd of the two. Explains why it's so much quieter, I suppose. #
My 10-22mm lens cap is always going awol. #

To be able to use these 12gb+ AVI files in Final Cut, they had to be transcoded into a .ts, then converted to an mp4, then to Quicktime #fml #
@spyed Fail! (Blame @deviantART) in reply to deviantART #
James Labrie's "One Last Time " Song Premiere. http://bit.ly/9HlesX #music #progrock #
VLC's transcoding has dropped from realtime to about half-time. Another hour of watching my Mac tick away is ahead of me, it seems. #
VLC to the rescue with my transcoding woes… #
iTunes needs a featuring tag for music. I just want the track name to be "Pray For Rain", not with "feat. Tunde Adebimpe" on it. #minimalist #

Why, in Windows 7, when I'm copying two files to a flash drive, it thinks that the total is 57gb, when separately it's <700mb? #whut #
Oh hey, MPEG Streamclip for Windows. Didn't realise that was out. Time to put this borrowed quad core to good use. #
Why is the Windows 7 Explorer so crashy? #
@ceih When you're strapped for cash while your old job owe you £10k and you're waiting for payment for work totally about £2k… yes. :B in reply to ceih #
Oh, now you open this AVI file, MPEG Streamclip? Yesterday you screwed up the video and refused to convert it to anything. #grr #
