Happy Birthday Dad
My dad was born in Wimbledon, Greater London, England on this day in 1938. 40 years and 2 weeks later he saw me brought me into the world.
Although brought up in a predjudiced post-war upper-middle class family, he has never guided my political and social beliefs the way he was by his environment.
He has always let me be me own man.
I can’t thank him enough.

HandBrake 0.9.3 Released! →
This is HUGE. Handbreak is brilliant except for one thing - it only takes a DVD (or an eyetv mpeg2 file from say, EyeTV) into it’s beautifully useful video conversion interface.
Now you can throw anything at it. It no longer matters that VisualHub went away. Life is GOOD.
The List.
I’ve had requests for a list of the Blu-Rays and other DVDs that I would really dig for my birthday. So despite being kind of a douchy thing to do, here it is:

The Ultimate Matrix Collection (Honestly, I’ll get this myself. It’s a bit pricey.) 4th Dec
The Dark Knight (This has already been shotgunned)
