@bbum I'm late to this party, and you've probably figured it out by now, but HandBrake has a command-line interface: http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki...

@joanna OK, yeah, that is creepy.
@fridgebuzz I see. I guess I don't understand why that's hard? Maybe I'm spoiled by Python.
@joanna Ah, didn't know. Yes, that's understandable. Our didn't look like a gun, but did fire lego bricks 10 feet.
@fridgebuzz Ah, so you want browser to trigger email, or email to update site? Or both?

@fridgebuzz Last compiler I paid for was Metrowerks, for Mac OS 7. Metrowerks for BeOS was free. Before that, TurboPascal, which rocked.

RT @Moltz What color hat do I need to put on my icon to raise awareness about having Ben Bernanke's head in a sack full of angry badgers?
Why open source is great. Find self in acknowledgement and learn you've helped a project w/o even knowing. http://docs.blacktree.com/quicksi... #mademyday
@fridgebuzz That's perfect, thanks!
Gone two days without my Wordpress/Dreamhost site being rehacked! Still want to ditch Wordpress, and maybe Dreamhost as well.

@fridgebuzz My daughter was asking about fountain pens recently. Where can I get a Lamy pen in Canada? And roughly how much do they cost?
@rtanglao Heh. I was talking about the weather being good for November today too. But it's actually sunny for December.
@davidascher You've very welcome. I've been looking for an opportunity to use underscore.js, would love to hear your experience.
@davidascher Would this help? http://documentcloud.github.com/undersc... It's not itertools, but maybe similar niche in ecosystem?
RT @FakeAPStylebook: When burying the lede always eliminate any witnesses.
@DougCoupland That's why I still organize with milk crates and pine boards.
