Geeky Video Conversion

Posted by danielctw On August - 15 - 2008

Good morning, man… it’s so tiring. Yeah, recently why have I been writing programming codes is due to me working in a new working environment and my mind is full of codes and programming stuffs. Indeed…. until even someone mentioned in the comments that I have been geeky through out this week.

Looks like in the office there’s nothing much to do as I am still new here so why not play around with some video conversion files. Heee.. especially those movies I recorded using my Casio Exilim camera. The files are big especially since it’s a avi file format. Must be crazy then. Those videos are a video of the Blur Queen BlurJess, Hike of Bukit Tabur and church events.

Hmm… some videos though about those comical scenes, I had once converted them to 3gp format, which can be seen on your mobile phones. Of course I forgot what software I used for it already. I’ve always thought that one can convert movie files into other movie files, but then there’s such thing as changing image to convert to AVI format. Huh?? Don’t need to be crazy a bit, just have a look.

Haha.. converting Ducktales cartoon is such a pain in the ass.

Hor… now instead of just me converting it to 3GP, there are like so many other movie formats, like FLV, iPod even PSP??? Playstation Portable?? That’s something new. Wait wait later I go convert all my big Hong Kong dramas from avi format to other formats. Yeah, have a collection of Hong Kong drama series at home and with my 40Gb hard disk, this is so going to help me. Not enough space right!

Opps.. you want to get this software, you can get it from here though.

Eh… today’s Friday and looks like it’s going to be weekend. More photoshoot to be done tomorrow. Wait now I can go for movieshooting too.. darn, new lens.. yes, don’t know why this week is more like geeky week for me.

Programmer Poetry

Posted by danielctw On August - 14 - 2008

People tell me why am I acting weird at times. But weird in what sense? Yes, it ain’t the weirdo kind of weird, but the unique kind of weird which makes me special. As a matter of fact, everyone of us is special. Just how one defines it though.

Just have to look at what I’ve been doing for the past 10 minutes, writing nonsense, but then to programmer newbies, this is the way to start learning some OOP (Object Oriented Programming) concepts for your future. Yes, I’ve written it in Java.

/* Hello this is me Daniel here
and I am going to write a program
on This day */

public class Daniel {

private static
String gender;
private String codeLanguage;
private String textName;

public static void main(String[] args) {

doDaniel();
System.exit(0);

}

public static void doDaniel() {

Daniel daniel = new Daniel();
/* This part of the code does the checkGender for Daniel */
checkGender();
/* Tries to print something which is set to a bean */
System.out.println(“Daniel is a “ + daniel.getGender() + ” obviously!”);

/**
* Now you’ve seen it, it doesn’t really needs a direct assigned variable to
* get the value.
* This is one important part of OOP programming.
* The life of Daniel when he is too free
* 14th August 2008, written in less than 10 minutes
* http://danielctw.com
* Email me at me@danielctw.com if face any issues
*
* Have created other variables for you to play, this program was tested
* and runs as it is. Copy paste the whole thing and start playing with codes
*
*/

/* Other codes not fully done yet */

}

public static void checkGender() {

setGender(“Male”);

}

public String getGender() {
return gender;
}

public static void setGender(String gender) {
Daniel.gender = gender;
}

public String getCodeLanguage() {
return codeLanguage;
}

public void setCodeLanguage(String codeLanguage) {
this.codeLanguage = codeLanguage;
}

public String getTextName() {
return textName;
}

public void setTextName(String textName) {
this.textName = textName;
}

}

I guessed by now I think people think I am crazy already writing this in the middle of the night at 2am. I think that makes me ME.

ps: BO GO SHIP DA!!!!

For The Sake Of Outings

Posted by danielctw On August - 13 - 2008

Days ago or rather weeks ago, someone came all the way back from Perth and back to Johor, South of Malaysia. Then from the South, that person came all the way up to Kuala Lumpur. Yes, and thankfully Devince planned this outing so we all can meet a fellow kokorian member called Puresky.

Yes, the planning was okay, but the amount of people there was errr.. humongous, though some are just there for the gathering I supposed.

The Long Gathering Table

Now you must be wondering who is this Puresky? Well, if you still remember the time when i was in Perth, and I posted up this following photo.

Daniel and Phoebe

Now after like a year haven’t met up, my mei mei (sister)  Puresky aka Phoebe is now back in Malaysia with a new photo.

Danielctw and Puresky

Looks like time has past and we all look a bit different from the previous photo. There are a lot of people there but due to certain people who does not want their identity expose here, I am only selecting the selected privilege few to post up.

Of course would like to thanks AaronWoolala for getting that shot up there. Oh yeah, Aaron was the other fellow camera guy with me.

Happy Shouters

The 3 shouters doing their pose. And in case you don’t know who is who. The one at the back is Joey a.k.a Vinspire. Hmm… as of date, all still single. :P

For the sake of outings, people can go and meet with each another and just get to know each another from there. I sure glad that there is such thing as the Internet. Also glad that the term camwhore is around. It makes us does crazy things.

Take Shots Without Realising

Posted by danielctw On August - 11 - 2008

When one is preoccupied, when one is in full concentration, you’ll never know what lies beneath them or underneath them.

This is the case of the full concentration being put into full use until unsure of what other things are happening around them.

090808 Post is ‘Funner’

Posted by danielctw On August - 9 - 2008

Everyone kept posting about 080808 and how it symbolises the chinese understanding of this auspicious date. Was like WTF, why is everyone talking about 080808. Seeing once is enough but seeing it on multiple times in every other blog is like, crap crap… nothing else to blog is it?

Some even go to the lengths of blogging that 080808 is the official start date of Olympics in China. Well, lots of people knew that, but what I don’t know is why would they want to blog about 080808 and Olympic in China when their post is like just 2 sentences. This kinda post really got me the mood to ‘DANG’ them in Nuffnang.

Anti 080808 Club

Maybe I should do what another Nuffnanger does to self nangers. Well, but by doing so and not stating the reason why would make me a copier of someone. So why not I just dang those I don’t seem fit posting up topics.

090808 has been left out since everyone’s been talking about 080808. But guess what, by the time we hit next year, people will be talking about 090909. Then the following year 101010, 111111 and 121212. The special number would be 111111 with all 6 identical numbers. Scary…. yes, there won’t be a 131313 unless someone came up with a thirteenth month called Danimber or something. Another 4 more years for you people to either plan to get married on the following mentioned date, buy lottery , or just wait another 90+ more years to do that in the year 01-01-2101. Then we can start it all over again at 010101.

090808 is the date that makes ShoutOut 1 day old. It also marks the ending of the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics, it’s also a weekend. A weekend…. the day to sleep and be merry and go get yourself drunk. Okay, that sounded wrong, but what the heck…

Why would I write about 090808, I just wanna be different, that’s all. I shall now proclaim myself anti 080808 and be the avid follower of 090808. Welcome 090808 and condemn you 080808.

ps : The article above was created when the writer just came back from Mamak and it was so ‘early’ at night. Darn….

pss : The article bears no meaning if you don’t understand the pun intended. Seriously… don’t try deciphering it, you’re not weird enough unless you’ve reached my level.
