Swearing...

read the transcript of my interview on G4 Tech TV's Call for Help. Turns out I said, "YEAH." a lot.

I think this is my solution to swearing. I used (well, honestly I still do) swear incessantly. Curse words are a great way to get my point across. I'm told I have a catchphrase. Much like Mr. Burns' "excellent..." mine is "What the shit?"

It would be more reassuring if it was "I concur" or even "Say, those are nice biscuits." but beggars can't be choosers.

Anyway, I suppose it also could have been nerves.

Even though I haven't yet seen the episode, Amber MacArthur said I have a "surf vibe" and I'm "very laid back". Which is very cool. Since most of my friends would argue that I'm "argumentative" and "sarcastic". Although she said I'd lived in Cali for awhile, which is not true. I was GOING to live in LA with Libs until the plan was kiboshed by Nissan's move to Nashville. I'm not Tennessee material so we stayed in TO to have a kid.

FLV's

Found out an interesting thing while trying to find the duration of an FLV today. (at the eleventh hour, of course, somebody wanted a progress bar)

Fuel's blog

Good ol Flash Video Encoder slaps down some nifty metadata.
__ns.onMetaData = function(obj) {
trace("FLV duration: " + obj.duration + " sec.");
trace("FLV videodatarate: " + obj.videodatarate + " Kbit/s");
trace("FLV audiodatarate: " + obj.audiodatarate + " Kbit/s");
trace("FLV creationdate: " + obj.creationdate);
}

personally, creationdate came back undefined, but duration worked just fine.

If you didn't want to be in the Army before.

I swear i owned this G.I. Joe when I was a kid.
