ecto Blogging tests
A test for MacJournal, part II

Cheers!
Edit: obviously this didn't work. But today I found out that ScribeFire is now finally able to do what I've been looking for - direct Blogger image publishing. Let's try again (hopefully there will be an image below):

Edit again - horraaay! It works! Now all I have to do is to help ecto gain a plugin to do this image uploading! I wonder where I can get information. /me creates a to-do entry to seek help in ScribeFire support sites/foruns...

DVD Flick
So I hear you just got yourself into the getadivxthengetasubtitlefilethenwanttousethelivingroomdvdplayerandwhatnow? game. So now you have to know that most operating systems out there can burn dvd's, but the conversion stuff is too kinky for them to work out of the box. I won't go into the required legalese to explain the issues at hand - google for it, if you really want. Let's skip to the interesting part. You're stuck with Windows. I pity you. But it's not a lost cause, at least for a simple task such as divx into dvd conversion. Oh, and I know there are PLENTY apps out there to do the job. But can they also do subtitles sleekly as well? I've used WinAVI Video Converter, but now there's a free (as in speech) little tool that simply works! Get the app, install it, and give it a test. for the record, I'll itemize what this does:
- Pick an AVI file
- Pick a subtitle file (srt, perhaps)
- Produce a nifty DVD playable with a subtitles track!
