Quicktime 7 and the H.264 codec

April 30th, 2005 · 2 Comments

I started to experiment with the new codec in Quicktime 7 called H.264. I re-encoded the Search & Destroy video to the same files size as the old mpeg4 version, but doubled the size of the video. It handled it well I think. This is my first try so the quality isn’t perfect, but I’ll [...]

It’s time to change your diapers Mr Jobs

New York

April 26th, 2005 · 1 Comment

It looks like I’m going to New York on a photo assignment in a couple of weeks. It’s just supposed to be over a weekend, but I’ll try to pay for an extra couple of days myself. It just seems silly to sit through sixteen hours of flight just for a couple of days. It [...]

Chalk

April 25th, 2005 · 2 Comments

This weekend we visited my wife’s parents. Her father gave the kids some jumbo chalks to play with. So they found the perfect spot to paint. In front of their house. Groucho painted his favorite Pokémons and Mira made a sun. I don’t think that was the original idea, but Ylva and I had to [...]

Attention span

April 17th, 2005 · 8 Comments

I’ve always had this thing of getting really interested in something and then trying to learn everything I can about it. But I also manage to set my goals to high, and be all to critical of my own work, which eventually leads to me giving up on it. Then I sell of all the [...]

Went out with the family today to the airport at Arlanda. Soon got bored photographing landing airplanes. Managed to get this one with both the moon and an airplane. Tacky!

iSync and SonyEricsson P910 in Mac OS X Tiger

April 13th, 2005 · 7 Comments

when syncing a SonyEricsson P910 in Mac OS X Tiger, you get a dialog box asking to download a software called iSync Config to the phone. And after doing that you’ll be amazed over how much faster the syncing is. Now you can finally do syncing often. And no more program crashes on the [...]
