I couldn’t get the quality up where I wanted it, but DVD Player and VLC both have the same issues playing directly from the source… I don’t recall all these minor glitches when we were watching it in the hanger, but that doesn’t surprise me – computer DVD drives typically suck at playing DVDs. Anyway,… Read more
Last night I got a call from Ryan to finally organise the carpool down to skydiving this morning. We met at work (the universal meeting place, it seems, for interns) at 9ish and from there all headed off in my car – Ryan, Jeff, Deepu, Stephane (guy, actually – French :P) and myself.

They sent around word that they were organising something, and I was initially going to pass it up, figuring I’d already done it and it’s expensive and all the usual excuses.

Anyway, we spotted a bar, which was… Read more
I just got back from seeing the Simpsons movie with ye ol’ interns and whatnot (plus Francisco & Ross). It wasn’t bad… basically a extra long episode, really… nothing revolutionary technically, and the storyline while reasonably involved was still of the type you’d expect for a half hour episode. Unfortunately a lot of the good… Read more
