I have recently signed up for eBay as the Boy wanted to purchase something off it.
...Faarrrkkk off and line up alongside Sharapova, Tantor will be along directly.
Just got an email asking me if I'm still interested in something I had previously looked at and then gave me links to some other shite. Hope you get the voracious arse cancer I have wished upon PayPal.

And get rid of the mail address you used to sign up with. If you did not get any spam on it before, you now sooner or later will. First spam and 'newsletters' from the sellers you once had to do with come in and eventually also really fraudulent stuff when one of those guys spills the beans.

I was thinking about you and your job hunt plight on Tuesday night. Had an email chat with a UK based Recruiter for a day or two's work here in Sydney for a UK based company. One of the things they wanted to know was applicants English proficiency. Problem was, a couple of emails in I was wondering about her English proficiency.
I asked: Can I please know the suburb and if there is parking or public transport to the site.
She answered we have a very low budget for this task so there is no transport hope you understand
If that is what you have had to contend with I think the Pub attendance was from being driven to drink by the stupidity.

My job plight is not really an issue anymore(!) I have got a role with quite a large company starting the 24th(! ). The problem with a lot of recruiters is they are told X for so many years, Y for so many years, Z for a couple of months. They don't userstand X, Y & Z so you can get discounted for a role which you would be ideal for. My attendance in the PUB can be blamed on Nagy. I got totally frustrated and almost took a role removing rats from Arcade machines. So yeah the Pub served nice ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) and took some strain off. It does seem that recurters in general are special, the chances were you were talking with one of them who's English is a second or third language!

I was using the UKs perogitive with English, we invented it, exported it, now we don't know how to use it!

I'm never ever going to deal with another recruiter.

Yesterday I slipped when getting out of the bathtub and almost did the salto mortale. I managed to avoid breaking any bones or banging my head, but I landed on my starboard nacelle that had to swallow the entire impact.
Now I have a beautiful concussion, shaded in every possible shade of green and blue and look forward to yet another day of sitting on it in the office.

And I thought you were going to post about the Nika riots... 
I hope you feel better soon.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hang on, what are you calling your nacelle there? Your head? You mentioned a concussion? It that why you're planning to sit on your head?
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

1. I know some women that would beg to differ
2. there's the "little head" nearby the 'bottom' - might have gotten whiplashed
3. and the old quote "sh*t for brains."

Yes, that describes it very well. By now, the pain is almost gone and the colors are fading, so it's probably ok.

I have a good handle on the particulars of audio file formats, but I am completely out of element when it comes to video. I have noticed that MP4 files are rendered in icon view with a screenshot (perhaps the first frame?), but FLV files do not, so all things being equal, I would prefer to have my videos in MP4 format.
I did a conversion using WinFF, and it seems that the only choice I have is something called H.264 compression, with "very high quality". A 10 MB FLV file converted to a 3 MB MP4 file, but the quality was definitely degraded, which would be expected for such a smaller file due to the entropy. Is it simply impossible to get a good conversion? I don't mind having a larger file as disk space is super dirt cheap these days. Perhaps the problem is that WinFF isn't very good?

WinFF is just a GUI for FFMPEG, which does support a lossless mode (and slightly less extreme options), but maybe not through WinFF which has its own ideas about presets and so on.

Try ffmpeg -i input.flv -c copy -copyts output.mp4 to change container, if that doesn't work you can try to reencode using ffmpeg -i input.flv -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a libfaac -q:a 100 output.mp4

Man Dies After Being Hit in Face by Firework | NBC Chicago[^]
Quote: One witness who saw the incident said he was handling a large cylindrical firework called a mortar and was with children at the time of his death.
"He wanted to shoot one of these mortar fireworks and the fuse looked like it wasn't working right and he stuck his face over it,"
Read this in the paper today, WTF.
And yes, I'm the only curmudgeon on my block who was not playing with fireworks.

Perhaps!
I maintain that it's the positive outcome of having a small firecracker blow up in my hand as a 13 year old.

But the poem doesn't work as well with your celebrate the independence of your country by blowing up a small part of it day! 
Quote: November the fifth July the fourth has come and gone,
But memories still linger.
I held a banger firecracker in my hand;
Has anyone seen my finger?
