Need a Firewall? Part 2.
Welcome Back!!
In the last article regarding firewalls I gave you the links and some basic information regarding three different firewall options. I had intended to try all three and let you know how it went but I was enjoying messing with the Endian firewall too much to lose it! Well, I recently got bored and decided what the hell – time to try something new. So I went to the next in the list: pfSense.
Updated Mencoder Script
Welcome!
A while back I wrote a script to convert my dvd collection into AVI files on my computer, which included the ability to auto-crop the black borders. I recently decided I wanted to start using the Matroska container instead of AVI. I again tried to accomplish this with GUI tools – many of them I evaluated previously such as WinFF and HyperVC and I also tried Avidemux and HandBrake GTK. WinFF/HyperVC wouldn’t run the encode for some reason when I selected the auto-crop features, and HandBrake GTK would not run at all on Karmic Koala giving GTK errors. Avidemux allowed me to set all the settings, and it worked – but the audio was invariably a-sync’d. I couldn’t find any settings with MP3, Vorbis, or FAAC that would properly sync with the video I was trying to convert.

ATI Catalyst 9.10 Pre-released for Karmic Koala
Welcome!
So evidently, ATI has released the 9.10 driver, even before 9.9 is released – but only for Ubuntu Karmic Koala users! Way to go ATI! I saw the article at Phoronix yesterday and said to myself “Hell yes, I’m going to try this!”
I was originally going to show everyone how to patch or install the 9.9 drivers onto 2.6.31 kernel as soon as they were released but I guess now that becomes unnecessary.
