get flv from repph.

One thing that sucks about streaming in flash is that the flash player on linux uses al lot of CPU, especially full screen an doesn’t interpolate very well.

The solution is to download the flv file and play it on mplayer or whatever else. Here’s a small script that does it from repph:

#!/bin/bash
wget $1 -O page.html
axel -o $2.avi -a $(egrep file=.*flv page.html |sed ‘s/^.*file=//’ |sed ‘s/&.*$//’)
rm page.html

There is something in the way Patrick Dempsey talks that reminds me so much of Robert De Niro.

Ipse dixit.

Now fuck off and die, you fucked up slag.

(Possibly one of the best lines from closer (2004/I), which I loved)

Dear PB writers.

Dear Prison Break writers,

It is my duty to inform you that a gunshot playing from a loud speaker can not possibly be mistaken for a real gun firing at you. Please redo episode 3×12.

Thanks.

Drunkness vs drinking.

tinaught — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:49:00 +0000

Drinking alcohol is now banned on the Tube.

Is this against drunk people on the Tube? It would be if drunk people were drinking. But it seems to me that if you’re drunk you’re unpleasant on the Tube much more than someone not drunk who’s drinking.

So the real thing that is annoying is drunken behaviour on public transport, and not drinking.

Cose fatte bene.

Forse una delle cose migliori di Prison Break e’ la colonna sonora.

T-bag.

Despite the fact that he is bad, my favourite character is T-bag. Ok, he is real bad. But I still sort of like him.

Io oggi vado a votare. Alle amministrative di Londra. Non ho dovuto riempire nessun modulo, ne’ fare niente, mi e’ arrivata per posta una cartolina che dice “vai li’ tra le 7am e le 10pm” e scegli tra i 10 candidati sindaco. Si puo’ votare anche per delega, pensa un po’.

Politica inglese.

Ora qui c’e’ un dibattito perche’ il leader dell’opposizione ha chiamato il primo ministro “loser”. E gli dicono che sta rendendo la politica un teatrino eccetera.

Principianti.

S&TC voiceover

Every time I watch a bit of Sex and The City (yesterday I happened to watch the trailer of the movie) I can't help to notice how much I don't like the voiceover recording (I think is Jessica Parker talking).

It sounds like dry and horrible, like someone recording in a cheap mic in their bedroom. Maybe is an effect they want to achieve on purpose for some reason, but just compare to the voice of Mary Alice in Desperate Housewives to hear what I think is a much better production.
