Happy Birthday, Marcia! *throws confetti*

So. Your real present is gonna have to wait because the Post Office is annoying and slow [and your gift is coming from Brasília WTF?].

Meanwhile I made something [arguably crazy] for ya --

Ooooh, NICE. I've never actually ripped a DVD [never had the need], but it's good to know there's a good option.

*I* love the wallpaper. I'm sure Marcia will be head over heels. (AND there's one for my screen size, and I'm using it now! *EEE!*)

Yay! Free programs!

(Então eu vou te ligar para a gente combinar a viagem de amanhã para a Barra!)

ETA: Also, I like Free MP3 WMA Converter. And MusicBrainz. Just sayin'.

Então, vc ainda não me confirmou que vem... mas agora eu já sei que posso confirmar seu nome. ;p

Yay! :)

I use dbPowerAmp for converting stuff [though it's not free], but MusicBrainz sounds eeenteresting. Tag detection = love. :)

Eeeee, feliz aniversário para mim. Eu estou 'estranhamente' animada esse ano. ;)

'Brigada, lindo, lindo, lindo. Ai, Daniel. E eu vi Reckoning ontem. Vou ver Threads hoje. Eu estou em 'full Daniel mode'!

E eu vi Frame Up! ontem. Ah, Michael Weatherly. You are cute and can act! *sigh*

Êeee! Que bom que gostou! :)

Agora, eu li "Vou ver Threads hoje. Eu estou em 'full Daniel mode'!" e o meu cérebro respondeu com "HERESIA! Threads = Jack/Sam ONLY, the end." Heeeeh.

Bem, não quis dizer que Threads = Daniel. ;p

Mas eu estou revendo o final da 8a. temporada, vá lá saber por quê...

Ah, eu vi um episódio tão chato de NCIS que eu cheguei a dormir e tive que voltar, acho que dois episódios antes do episódio do Tony. Um que tinha um molequinho cujo pai foi sequestrado. Oh, moleque enjoado. ;p

Eu não consigo ver as partes do Danny em Threads porque Mala Desala = NOJO. Ainda mais que eu só vejo a versão extendida, aí então que ela não cala a boca! Ai.

Marcia, vc acabou de descrever pelo menos uns 5 episódios de NCIS. :P Mas acho que sei qual é esse, não me incomodou. Eu gosto quando tem Gibbs + crianças. Na quarta temporada tem alguns eps beeeeeem mais ou menos, porque a storyline do Tony é um saco. Mas na S5 dá uma melhorada legal! De 10 eps, só um que eu achei mais ou menos.

That's a pretty well-written article about the horrors of dynamic range compression. Definitely one of my pet issues.

And I wrote a whole post about auto-tune yesterday.

I'm a bit behind on the flist, but I just read your post and man -- YES. Auto-tune makes me wanna headdesk until I'm brain damaged. And it's even worse when we realize most people have *no idea* that what they're hearing is pretty fake.

Fake is the new real.

Yay, awesome list that I'll have to go through with a fine-toothed comb later on.

My freeware musts:

Foxit Reader. Much faster launch than Adobe, and when I absolutely must use a reader for .pdfs instead of viewing it in html with my handy pdf extension, this is the only program for it.

Core ftp. Not news, but I noticed you didn't have an ftp program up there.

WordWeb. I don't know how I managed without this. I use this in all sorts of programs for a variety of reasons. I love that you can see the list of close-lying words, in case it can't give you an idea for what misspelled word you might be after.

Zoom Player. I'm sorry, I know you swear by VLC, but I'm still not even close to being won over while I still have Zoom Player around. I just can't do without the playlist feature (I have playlists for YEARS, adding shows I haven't watched, removing episodes I have, etc.), and since I have an old version with the DVD player included for free (as I understand it, it now only comes with a media player, the DVD player carries a charge ( ... )

I've used CoreFTP, but the FTP program I use the most [FlashFXP] isn't free, so I didn't list it. And I forgot about WordWeb! Gah. I can't live without it, I use it a hundred times a day. :)

The thing I love the most about VLC is that it'll correct broken AVIs to play them. I've never seen another player do that, and since my connection isn't that fast, I'd rather have a player that'll ignore problems than re-download something.
