I've been to his house. He owns a lot of hair products.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

A quiz that NoiseDesign and Kristin can take together: Is the logo for hair care or digital audio?
I am so out of touch. I got 13/14. Ashampoo got me. Never heard of it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got 13/14 mostly cause I figured the ones that were obviously one or the other must be tricks

Flickr Easter Egg: [link]
From our playful friends at Flickr comes a nifty little Easter egg that adds a bit of holiday flair to your Flickr portraits: Add a note to a photo with the text ho ho ho beard or ho ho ho hat and you'll get a resizeable Santa hat or beard to drag and drop onto the unsuspecting subject's head or chin.
Unfortunately, Flickr is blocked for me at work, so I can't try this until I get home. Grrr...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
ARGH.
I need to encode some video into RealMedia. Our edit station is a new Mac. Real does not appear to have any encoding software that will work with Tiger. (They do have a free Quicktime plugin, but it explicitly says "Does not work with OS X 10.4," and installing it seems to confirm that, since I can't get any of my Quicktime apps to recognize it.)
Anyone know of a solution to this? Some unofficial Real encoder I can use?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Real still hasn't done a MacIntel-friendly version of their codec, so as far as I know, there's no tool out there that can do it. This kind of crap is one of the big reasons my group really tries to steer people away from Real, but of course that doesn't help at all with your project....
(If you still have access to a PPC machine, you might try the QT exporter anyway: they do say "not compatible with Tiger", but they also say "has known issues", which suggests to me that it works at least some of the time.)

That might be worth trying -- so far I've only installed it on the new (Intel) Mac. If it works on the old one, it'll be a PITA to transfer the clips over there (the company doesn't "officially" support Macs at all, so neither one is networked), but at least they can both burn DVDs. (Which none of our PCs can.)
I also may try telling them "Here's a Quicktime, encode it yourself!"

That would work. As would "Here's a QT, just use that because IT'S BETTER ANYWAY, YOU DORKS".
The fact that your only DVD-R machines aren't even networked makes me want to cry. I'm sure it makes you want to throw things out windows, or at least shake people very hard.

Fortunately for my blood pressure, I've become fairly numb to the quirks of this company's corporate IT policies.
