Hi Adrian.
Thanks for your kind comments regarding my video on Taunton Floods.
You must be somewhat younger than I am as I was actually 13 at that time, and remember the floods only too well!
Be good!
Cheers.

Hello Piter – I think I originally started the blog as I wanted to try out the wordpress blogging site, and it seemed pretty good so I just kept it going. I think I prefer it to blogger.com

Hiya

I found Totem very unreliable on Hardy – it would often not start playing, start but freeze after a few moments, or have deeply weird colour balance and no sound. Even worse with non-mainstream Hollywood DVDs such as non-English language films. For each of my discs I had to remember whether Totem, gxine, or MPlayer could play it, until I just reverted to xine, which is ok as long as Firefox isn’t still open after playing the BBC iPlayer (xine freezes, waits forever to get control of the audio devices, even if the iPlayer window is closed). But then I don’t often watch films and browse the web at the same time . . .

Thinking about going up to Intrepid once I’ve met my current dissertation deadline . . . (don’t fix the working system at a time when you really really need it . . . ) Films have been the one thing I’ve been really disappointed in with Hardy, hoping Intrepid will be better.

Good luck yourself!

Comment on Record from Last FM with Wireshark by boliston

I tend to use the online player rather than the embedded web player.

There are almost certainly easier ways to record from last fm but I was just trying to see if it could be done. It can but it’s a bit “hit or miss”.
