“With digital projectors, films are screened and distributed by computer. […] Studios have spent the last three years working on the technology and have now settled on specifications they say are good enough for all types of movies. […] The cost of distributing each film will be cut by 75% because studios can send their films to cinemas by satellite, fibre optic cable or disc, instead of truck.”

The Software Patch
“The newest patches to download are listed on the top of this page. If you are new to the site, the easiest way to keep up-to-date is to bookmark this page and return on a regular basis.”
Look like the patches they’re offering are Windows only.
Too bad that with such a cool idea they’re not offering an RSS feed. You’d think the whole purpose of gathering all patches in one place would be to avoid the “check this site on regular basis” hassle. Of course, checking just one site instead of many does save some trouble, but still…
Or does that “if you’re new to this site” premise imply that there are other ways to keep up-to-date, not apparent on the surface?

DVD subtitling
After having found out Night of The Living Dead and a bunch of other horror classics have become Public Domain I immediately began downloading them from the Internet Archive.
PCstats.com offers a beginners guide to making DVD movies from video files using freely downloadable software, mainly IfoEdit. Because of MPEG-2 licencing issues, TMPEGEnc’s support for MPEG-2 encoding is limited, but luckily it’s not needed in the process: it’s only used to de-multiplex the mpeg file into separate video and audio files.
I’d like to have Finnish subtitles for my DVD’s, so DVD.box.sk’s guide to converting SRT files to SUP format might come in handy at some point. Could try finding one of those amateur-made translations out there or try and make my own translation. The script would be useful for that, but I couldn’t find it on the Net.

"Hacked $99 NAS gadget runs full Debian Linux"
“A Debian ARM hacker has published a detailed HOWTO on installing Debian Linux on Linksys’s NSLU-2 NAS (network-attached storage) gadget. […] The NSLU-2 (Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives) is a low-cost embedded Linux device that turns any USB hard drive into a NAS (network-attached storage) device, by providing various network interfaces. Tom’s Hardware published a rave review, saying the device could revolutionize NAS.”

“Xob- ja Lakka-palvelimet päivitetään uusimmaksi Debianin vakaaksi versioksi. Xob-palvelimen päivitys tapahtuu 19.-20.7. ja Lakka-palvelimen 20.-21.7. Katkoksien pituuksia ei etukäteen voida ennustaa. Päivityksien aikana jäsenten palvelut voivat olla pois käytöstä. […]
Päivityksien myötä monien ohjelmistojen versiot uusiutuvat. Siitä johtuen on odotettavissa, että monien jäsenten omat skriptit voivat hajota. Pyydämme teitä tarkastamaan webbisivujen sekä skriptien toimivuudet päivityksien jälkeen.”

Siirsin TLA-kilvet ja Nuudelisopan WP:lle, pois Bloggerista. Jo oli aikakin, sen verran paljon tuo on taas viime aikoina takkuillut.
Toteutin Ns:n kanssa tuon siirron vähän eri tavalla kuin aikoinaan marginaalissa: jätin vanhat postaukset ihan suosiolla html-muotoonsa ja pois WP:n tauluja täyttämästä.
TLA-kilpiin väänsin huvikseni tuon Bloggerin 565-teemankin.
