Torturing Bunnies!

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

Well the conference video in which I torture a small bunny by altering its key-rotors is finished. There exists a full PAL-resolution one and I’m sure people can work out the URL themselves. If nothing else it will let me use XinePlayer at the conference and fool myself into thinking it can be justified academically.

The video itself was generated partly though mencoder and mostly with Kino. A very nice little editing program if all you want to do is chop and change a few bits of video plus adding a few titles.

Ah the joys of flying

Last minute arrangements for a conference (warning, worst webpage in the world) in Toulouse have been done today. This mostly involved not meeting my supervisor and working out how we are getting to the airport (grr), getting some Euros and attempting to form a set of hardcopies of useful web-pages which lead me to realise that Firefox randomly crashes or generates invalid postscript with the above-mentioned webpage. At least flights and accomodation should be sorted now (although I have little faith that the accomodation has been sorted correctly).
