Fuzzy Orange

I used visualhub for all my video converting needs (mostly converting to mp4 for my AppleTV), but the developer stopped working on it quite a while ago now.

Yesterday I installed Snow Leopard – with its lovely 64bit core – and started to think it’d be nice to have a video converter that supports dual core 64bit (for the speed) and also is still supported by its developers

I stumbled upon Handbrake. It’s available on OS X, Linux and Windows – and there is a 64bit version out which I’ve downloaded and am now using

It has a nice queue system for stacking up jobs and running them at night, lots of presets (and you can save your own) for various output types. It seems pretty quick too – at least as quick as visualhub and I suspect a bit quicker if I did some back-to-back tests

So if anyone is looking for a replacement for visualhub like I was – give it a go!

Is there anyone who can actually iron? I’m starting to think that people just go out and buy new clothes
2 bloody hours trying to iron a bunch of t-shirts. One of them is now in the bin in 8 pieces and my plasterboard wall has a new hole in it

I hate my house being covered in un-ironed and un-washed clothes, but the for the life of me I CAN’T IRON, all I do is iron a load of creases in until everything needs washing again..

A couple of hundred thousand years of human evolution and we still can’t make clothes that don’t need ironing?? SRSLY!
