Britain’s underground city - Sunday Times
Its quite astonashing all the things that governments build and do in secret, and this is a great example of one of these massive projects. Check it out!
After being iPodless for the past week i have received my 60Gb Black iPod with Video from Apple. The screen is insanely clear and the battery life is better than ever, 20 hours for audio. It however only plays video for 3 hours before it needs charging again, so ill have to be careful not to over do it!.
There are some good apps out there to convert to one of the iPod formats such as handbrake which converts DVD’s to ipod on a mac, and for you pc users have a look at Videora iPod Converter that will convert from .wmv .mov .avi .mpeg .mpg to either of the the ipods h264 320×240 or mpeg4 between 480×480 pixels.

Today i bring you two new (to me anyway) Mac OS X Apps.
HandBrake
A DVD converter that creates Divx, Mpeg4 and h.264 movie files. This app is really good, has a nice speed advantage over Apples Quicktime Pro and works really well to convert video into files compatible with the new iPod With Video.
Transmission
The best ever Bit-Torrent app for Mac OS X…….. ever!
Its at-least 10x better than its nearest competitor Azeurous which is a slow and cumbersome Java app. Transmission is written in C and runs nicely in the background without hogging up all your CPU cycles.
Do you want an ipod for christmas? Well this one girl sure did!
Her request wasn’t quite as innocent as one might suspect.

I have at long last updated this blog to wp 1.5.2! It took most of the arvo to create a new template for the design of the site, but now that i have it’s much more portable and will allow me to apply updates as they come out without breaking everything!
Anyway ill get back to fixing the remainder of bugs now, so stay
tuned for more updates in the near future.
