On hiatus…

… until my mind returns to me. Too busy in work and life to pay much attention to the blog right now. Maybe I’ll set up a Twitter account, because microblogging is really all I have time for right now.
I’ll give you three guesses…

… as to what the hell this is.
AT&T Transcontinental Cable Route
Posted by inanis in Geek Stuph, Technology on January 31, 2010
I’ve suddenly become fascinated with old AT&T Transcontinental Cable Routes (L-Carrier) and their markers. I’ve collected a whole bunch of markers and taken pictures of them…
If I get some more time, perhaps I will post a KML file. For the time being, look at them on Panoramio!
Anyone else got pictures and coordinates of markers, along with their marker numbers? Throw em in the comments – I’d like to start a hobbist database.
Video Capture Software
Posted by inanis in Geek Stuph on January 31, 2010
Anyone out there who might be listening have any suggestions on good video capture software to grab dumps from VHS tape to my computer using my TV Tuner Card? I’m using VirtualDub, but it’s being wonky. For some reason, if I dump audio without recompression, the audio will randomly slow WAY down then speed WAY up, then return to normal sample rate. It’s weird.
If I dump it and compress it on the fly as MP3, for example, it works okay. However, I would rather not dump to a lossy format just to have it re-encoded in a lossy format when I convert it to DVD.
Thoughts? Anyone care?

I have nothing better to do than complain about how I’m not good at something I really like, so here’s some entertainment based on that fact:
