Wow, I’ve been incredibly busy over the last five days. This morning I looked at my blog page and nearly fell out of my chair when I realized it’s been five days since my last post. This weekend I went to Los Angeles with my friends Izzie and Larry to help them setup some new servers at a data center. It took longer than expected, but it was a great experience being back in a data center. This place was still very small, only a handful of racks were even occupied by one server. After getting everything setup we went to Fat Burger and met up with my partner in crime James. Sunday I stayed at home and did some chores. I had school yesterday and here we are today. I have made some progress with my video converter. The script is pretty much done. The only thing left is the fine tuning of my video conversion line. I ended up going with PHP as my script language. I’m more familiar with it and in the end it just was easier. I have my aspect ratios dynamically being calculated and the appropriate dimensions being used. I will try and get this script finished today. I really want this project squared away. It would get me about 1/3 of the way done with the project as a whole. Still left is a script to take the converted videos and push them to my iPhone and a script to queue up my TV show downloads. I got my Apache server on my iPhone all setup and pointed to the /var partition so that I’m using part of the 7GB partition on my phone to store the videos rather than part of the 300MB system partition. This was a fun chore as I had to SSH into the phone and chmod the httpd.conf file so I could alter it. Once I did that, made my changes, and restarted Apache all was working perfectly. Well, I have a rough draft for paper due in about 2 hours that I haven’t written. I’ll try and post an update before I go to bed tonight. Unfortunately with so many projects in school and out I’m not sure what I will get accomplished.
