...the original web guru and all round good guy

Just a wee update, it's been a busy month and lots of fun's been had! Saw The Cult at the Edinburgh Picture House last week, what an excellent gig, a reasonably small venue but the crowd were jumping and the music was loud!It was a bit of a surprise when Ian Astbury appeared on stage though, a bit of a Jim Morrison thing going on - not the lanky goth look we're used too! Still, didn't effect his performance, a great gig and lots of great music. As ever, it seems posting the gig on youtube is the done thing, but glad to see it's there, see how good The Cult were for yourself, here's Love Removal Machine (live in Edinburgh 07-Oct-09).

Wasn't quite so good next day - Caitlyn had a dental appointment and had to have a little filling - but had an anaesthetic injection rather than gel which she's used too - this was a major upset and does nothing but re-inforce her dislike of dentists (Any dentists care to comment???). Aside from the filling, it was a good report from the dentist, her teeth are doing fine, cleaning them well, even with the brace fitted in her mouth - the filling was on a baby tooth, so lets hope the "big" teeth are gonna be OK! I took the next day off work as C was still complaining about a sore mouth, still a quick shopping trip with Caitlyn soon sorted her out - even at her age, it seems "retail therapy" works wonders!

Adding the Repository

The following command adds Medibuntu's repository to Ubuntu. It also adds Medibuntu's GPG key to your keyring, which is needed to authenticate the Medibuntu packages.

This command should be run in the Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal):

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update

Medibuntu's repository is deactivated by upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release, so you should run this command again after the release upgrade.

Direct link

and all so I can convert Realmovie(.RM) files to AVI, using the following:

mencoder -ovc lavc file1.rm -oac mp3lame -o file1.avi
