I have compressed and uploaded about 20 shows for my friend Marvin: http:www.mojo.org/communityorchaos I took an image from a poster a mutual mate of ours (political pundit Chris Trotter) had made a nice banner. Its a bit gothic. It could make a nice model for other Hills AM shows, since the government neglected to fund a streaming service for us.

I used the magnificent LAME codec to compress the shows. After much faffing about I found the presets it has, and found lame -preset voice did the trick nicely.

I also finished off our fencing club site: http://www.salle.angelo.gen.nz, with an installation of gallery2 for photos. The boys are dead impressed for three or four hours work. Nice. Oh, and I fenced well enough for them to ask me to join, which was doubly nice. I must frame the certificate.

I’ve been welding gallery2 into the delgirl website as well, I think there is a nice lightweight skin for it I can use that will fit into the wordpress install I’m using for them.

On top of that I got a quick flash job for the Beeb, though a UK mate of mine. It was pretty simple though quite time consuming to get it looking good. It was converting a completely horizontal banner design into a sky scraper. I may even get money out of it!
