I've added some notes to my wiki about how to transcode videos for the PSP: http://www.dryft.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/PSPVideo
So, what have I been up to lately?
on Monday, headed to Painshill Park. Very nice. Very cool. Mid-18th century landscape designed to create scenes. I took my Nikon film body along; but would like to go back another time with the full D70 kit (inc infrared).
From the top of the "gothic tower", I could just about make out some features of London with the aid of my binoculars. (Canary Wharf, Telecom tower, Wembley stadium, and also Hampton court castle.)
I caved and ordered a PSP, which arrived today. It really is terribly shiny. It's just a pity it doesn't have a touch-screen.
Setting up the GNU/Linux PSP development toolchain and sdk was surprisingly easy.. just download and run a perl script some guy wrote, and it downloads, patches, and configures everything you need. Sorting out ffmpeg to recode videos to the correct format for the PSP was a bit harder, but eventually google hit on the right mantra.
I did buy an actual genuine game too; GTA, because it has the exploit that lets you run homebrew stuff. Plus it's fun.
Still busy. Still seem to have too little time in the days.
Oh. I signed up to Skype - I am, predictably, "Wintrmute".
Watch the clocks.. It'll be "01:23 04/05/06" in half an hour.

Rate my Sanity update
Jan. 5th, 2006 04:15 pmI've updated Rate My Sanity!!1! to v0.03.
When everyone hit the site at once yesterday, a concurrency bug showed up and probably caused a few of you to get long loading times, blank pages, and missing pictures.
That should be fixed now.
The randomness of the Random function still sucks though.
[Edit@17:50: Randomness improved.]
