okay.. here is the plan.. ;)

2009-07-28T22:14:14Z

Right, i've have a cunning plan.. in the style of baldrick.. thinking about updating my LJ more often now, and keeping it focused on geeeky stuff just so it can surve as a referance to my and anyone who might come accross it.. might still update it with triv about my life and stuff, but who knows, might all change and i don't update it for a few years again.. lol

thinking about getting lm sensors working with mrtg so i can do some graphs on my little box and also well i like looking at graps and reading cpu temps and data thoughputs.. so trying to now get ubuntu server to work and output some fancy html and pritty images..

after that, will try and intergrate that php resize script into the freeway bar website so it's eaiser for my sis to upload images and sort out stuff in the gallery, just thinking about some kind of things faceache currently use and the ajax techniques i could use at the mo with moving and ordering images in divs and then update the ordering of the images.. been looking at a few scripts just need to do some js code to do the calls when it's updating either after each drag of the div containing the image or on a submit button on a form with a hidden field containing the ordering array or something.. WIP at the moment.

triv stuff, got a meeting tmw at 10.30 with boss and my sr, to sort out some planning for the summer, after i've emailed off a list of things i would like covered as no one else has bothered thinking about things for the new term and such, and where we are going in the future, if any direction at all.. rather than looking at my sr playing about with images, well that just drove me crazy when i was coding a php content system for some L staff.. oh well, keeping on looking for a new job, might have to submit my cv again and really look this time rather than just reliying on agencies. Thought reckon my CV and portfoilo webite it up to scratch, migth revisit that when i've got a bit... oh the list of things go on at the moment, and well no time for world domimation just yet!!! ;)

Windows Cached Authed Sessions

2009-02-10T16:44:13Z

Found this command

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

Which shows you which authed sessions you have saved in windows, very handy if you need to clear sessions from time to time.

2005-03-29T10:21:35Z

Over the weekend Beverley was asking me what I wanted for my birthday, and I keeped on saying, "I dunno". At my tea break at work, I decided to go on Ebuyer to have a look at some wireless access ports. (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=45025)

Then though it might be cheaper on Maplin's website. Got carried away and found these thigns which I don't mind getting for my birthday.

You scored as A Too Silly Faerie. Well you had to be silly to take this test hadn't you :-P You love a good laugh and playing pranks on others and take jokes very well. You love all things wacky and random and are always up for a laugh. But be careful, not everyone has such a light-hearted view of life and may get the wrong idea of something you say.

Hi,

Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately DVD recorders can not record the Teletext information or the subtitle information within a normal TV broadcast.
Pioneer and all other DVD recorder manufacturers have to work within the existing TV and Video standards and due to the way that subtitles are transmitted and subtitles are recorded on a normal DVD it is virtually imposable to extract the subtitles and record them directly to a disk.

The best way, and the only way at the moment, to record subtitles from a normal TV broadcast is to use a Freview box or other external video source that can output a video signal with the subtitles over-laid on the video picture.
The DVD recorder would than record the picture with the subtitles.

Pioneer is constantly investigating ways to improve its products but as of yet there is not a Pioneer product that will record the subtitles to a DVD disk in the same way that normal subtitles on a DVD are stored.

Regards.

DVD Recorder , which can record subtitles

2004-11-24T13:46:33Z

Have emailed Philips, Sony, JVC, Liteon, Panasonic, NEC, Sanyo and Pioneer to ask them if they make a DVD Recorder which can record subtitels from Television, as when I phoned up Dixons they did not know anything about their products they sell (does not supprise me)
