		<title>Boot Optimisation Is Entirely Useless When You Reboot Once Or Twice A Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I spent a weekend optimising the shit out of my system to the point where I could press the power on button and be fully logged into KDE with all my shit open in 8 seconds flat. It seemed like a cool idea at the time as I didn&#8217;t have an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing It Wrong: Hardware Support, Null Frames, And Why You&#8217;re Overscanning Your Usefulness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sure is a lot of updating from me recently, if you actually read/appreciate these pages upon pages of tl;dr and/or read them, leave a comment with your thoughts. It&#8217;s a bit depressing to see high stats on reading and 30~ comments across the entire blarg.
Everyone knows some guy with a DivX player right? Those guys [...]]]></description>

		<title>Theora, H.264, HTML5, and Why Software Patents Are Giving Everybody Fansub Ice Cream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DISCLAIMER: This post is mostly about debunking myths and incosistencies. I&#8217;m going to start off by stating that I don&#8217;t know all that much about software patents, and that I really don&#8217;t care about them or legality. If the GPL Legal Team wants to sent a van for me, go right ahead, I violate your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Colour Matrices And Why Typesetters Make Encoders Look Bad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that a lot of people still have issues with when and how colour matrix conversions should be used. After talking to some fellow encoders and a few typesetters I figured it was about time to write something useful here again. 
There are two main colour matrices used in pretty much everything: ITU-Rec.709 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telecide Will Kill Your Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was recently pointed out to me that Certain Content Authoring Communities are still living in the dark ages. I occasionally speak to someone who writes their &#8216;guides&#8217; but really it&#8217;s about time things were updated, especially to be clearer on The PAL Situation. Long ago in the bleak days of everything being shit, Donald [...]]]></description>

		<title>Racism? In MY Media Player? It&#8217;s More Likely Than You Think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally I am fairly lazy when it comes to muxing anything I encode, I have some shellscripts that do everything I need. After my CPU fiasco the other day, I have been rather edgy about what I do on my system, so a bunch of things I normally have open are being closed while I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucky For My Siblings That Homicide Is Illegal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be a short post, as I don&#8217;t trust myself to write anything that properly conveys my rage without murdering a member of my family. I like to download my TV shows. My sister likes to watch TV shows. Occasionally stuff I download and stuff she likes to watch overlap. This is what I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Only People Dumber Than The Scene Are The Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long time since I&#8217;ve last posted as there is so much fail around I couldn&#8217;t think of anything special, but today I came across some comedy gold relating to video processing and encoding. I was speaking to a friend in The Video Industry this afternoon about why the hardware encoders we use suck. Now &#8216;Steve&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Topic of Stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If I master a movie with Windows Movie Maker and I burn it to a DVD-R as a DVD, how can I get it back onto the computer?&#8221;
&#8230;was the question that I was just asked. Besides the stupidity of using WMM, what really got to me here was the way he tried to sound so [...]]]></description>

		<title>This One&#8217;s on Kovensky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kovensky linked me a VERY interesting article, particularly for Sonictail I believe: http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2009/05/will-linux-ever-be-mainstream.html
I like how he goes on about Qt being awesome because frankly it is. Then Nokia pumped this out at the end of last year and it looks to finally be going somewhere interesting: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/12/02/widgets-enter-the-third-dimension-wolfenqt/
The stuff in the first article is quite a [...]]]></description>
