I downloaded OpenSuse 10.1 RC1 so I could have a state-of-the-art operating system. That ended up being in media only. Installed Disc 1 successfully, but after reboot the fricken installer wouldn’t mount the dvd-rom! Wasted all that time for nothing. Problem was bad driver due too CD 1 installing fine. Stuck on Suse 10 for two more weeks. Note that I still use Windows XP for everything. I use linux for firefox, kopete, and amarok.

Got around to encoding War of the Worlds in X264 (H264). The encoder didn’t like to use multi-pass encoding so I was stuck with single pass. Bummer. 1 hour 57 minute movie compressed to 1,003 MB. RealAnime installed a decoder for WMP. Quality of it looks fine, but I missed the target of 700 MB. I had the option of splitting the video in 700 MB files. I am encoding Star Wars Episode 3 at lower bit rate, but wider resolution. I have a job interview Monday with employers’ agent so I’ll bring these DivX and H264 samples. I have a hunch he won’t look at these though. He’s interested in my web pages and all the things I can do on PC. I am willing to show him everything, but will videogame fan webpages get me a job? I dunno. That’s what I’ll show him. No body heard of Namo Webeditor. When people don’t hear these programs they always take it with a grain of salt. Everyone makes webpages in Dreamweaver 8 these days. I know this because I ask around. I have the trial version, but it isn’t my preference. I can’t explain why.
I coped my 21 gig mp3 collection back onto my hard drive because I got so much spare room.
