Your own Hostess?
February 28, 2006
Now I’ve never been a fan of Twinkies, I don’t even think I’ve ever had one in my life. Now users can enjoy them without the sticky mess!
Tastes like the real thing (at least to me, it does) Plus you don’t even have to light the oven!! Prep time includes washing and drying the foam rubber seat cushion.
Let the internet be free…of ads!
February 27, 2006
Browsing past familiar websites now and then, I notice ads everwhere: on the sides, on the bottom, on the top, and even embedded into paragraphs such as they do on cnet. What ever happened to the ad-free world? Did we even ever have an ad free world?
Now thanks to the better browser, users can enjoy several different greasemonkey scripts as well as the infamous AdBlock and FlashBlock extensions. Even on the go you can break free from seeing Google Adsense.
There is even a nifty UserContent stylesheet that does it with no extensions required. However, it sometimes does block legit flash content.
All those without Quicktime Pro
February 25, 2006
I know that Apple iTunes now comes with “built in” H.264 video converter, but what if your video’s an .avi? Or what if you want to convert your movie to MPEG-4 instead of H.264? After all, you can get a bigger picture from MPEG-4 (480×480) on your iPod if you have one. Or maybe you hate Apple and praise everything not AAC, MOV, M4V, or any other stupid extensions. Plus, a little know fact to some is that H.264 looks like the back of a Sparkletts water truck during some dark scenes (a.k.a. it flickers). MPEG-4 doesn’t correct this, but it makes it less distracting.
I came across 3GP Converter a few weeks ago and I’m delighted to say I’m somewhat satisfied with it. It’s fully functional for avis and (I think–I forgot) MPEG-4s from your digital camera that aren’t iPod format. Of course you could always resolute on stealing Quicktime Pro but please…do your karma some good (plus you know you secretly like Apple’s stuff but can’t afford it) and settle for this. You have to tinker with the Transconding.ini to get your video ideal (try deleting the resolution size to autofit your movie).
Feels like Monday…

Ah, back from a smooth vacation, I should say, from the mountains. It was cold wet, long, tiresome, but fun. I’ll remember to go back this summer if I’m not busy. I think that one thing’s for sure: I’m glad to be back home, ’cause I forgot my camera here 
. Nothing major has happened all weekend at school. I wanted to sleep in today, so I took the latest bus to school. I got to take a massive math test, and our history test is this week, I just know it. Lots to do, so little time time to cram.
Nothing New
February 16, 2006
Spending all morning doing homework, since I hate doing homework at night. It’s quite enervating. 
Anyway, back to work…
Frantic
February 16, 2006
Working frantically on my mods of Thunderbird to Apple Mail, even though it’s nearly one. It’s going really well. It’s also quite a learning experience. I’m still a beginner at CSS and a novice at XMLs, but it’s fun (if I dare use that word 
) to mess around with it. It get’s annoying restarting hundreds of times a day (I think yahoo kicked me off its server the first 40 times), but the end result is what matters. Anyway off to the forum.
After reformating…
February 15, 2006
I just spent last evening reforming my computer after a horrible crash I had. There was data lost, but nothing majorly important. Anything extremely important (like Photos, iTunes Library, and any scattered downloads that are now hard to find) I backed up on DVD-RW a while back. So getting into the installing Windows XP:
Computer Class
February 13, 2006

I’m currently waiting for the contest to be complete at my favorite website but til then I’ll be here…until US History, then I’m with my other teacher. I bet it’s going to post at 9 ‘o clock. The contest was annouced at 9 ‘o clock. Anyway, That’s about it.
Another Day…
February 9, 2006
SO I suppose your wondering why I haven’t abandoned this yet. Well….me too. Computer class. That’s what. I wish this site had a little more buzz to it, but I guess it’ll have to do.
