Tweety-things



  • 18:27 Why does everyone want to call their daughter Zoe *now*? I've waited years! I have two choices, pick another name, or hunt down the rest... #
  • 18:54 Apart from all the various reasons I wanted to name my daughter Zoe, there was a bonus. Her name would be a palindrome - Zoe Oz #
  • 20:58 Would it hurt to have consistent sound levels on DVDs? Sick of turning it way down for over-loud ads, then having to max it for the feature. #
  • 09:06 Food delivery is here! I may be able to leave Nana dealing with the teething terror that is my son while I try to catch up on sleep! #
  • 10:27 My son has lots of energy this morning. I love him but I may have to gaffer tape him to the ceiling and throw pillows at him. #
  • 10:34 Digital effects are wonderful, but film-makers still need to remember that they are best used to enhance a shot, rather than replace it. #
  • 10:40 Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I swapped the dead batteries in my remote control for the good ones in yours. #
  • 17:34 Try again piano improv www.youtube.com/watch?v=32vpgNiAH60 All of a sudden #ChatRoulette becomes something good #

re: DVDs: this is why I have become a law breaker. I have ripped all of my DVDs to hard disk. I am now in the process of re-encoding them to H.264, with the aim of getting an Apple TV to play them back - without the fucking annoying adverts. Don't get me on the unskippable menus, either - I just want to watch the bloody show, not witness how incredibly great your animators are - I get it, already, now GIVE ME THE SHOW I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR!

Ditto on Zoe, I had it picked out over 10 years ago!

Thanks so much for that ChatRoulette/YouTube link, I was really pissed off by something and that cheered me right up.
