When You Wish Upon a Beard

why’s (poignant) guide to ruby :: 7. When You Wish Upon a Beard

He wishes for the cloths of heaven - William Butler Yeats

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

some movies are broken with new mp3lib codecs in mplayer (ubuntu feisty)

If you read the changelog you will see that mp3lib audio codec is now enabled
Add --enable-mp3lib to CONFIGURE_AUDIO_CODECS (LP: #83580). - Remove --disable-mp3lib. This one took some time to find.

I will see if it works with the new update

Here is is how it was decoded in the past (with the big red warning)

Requested audio codec family [mp3] (afm=mp3lib) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 127.7 kbit/9.05% (ratio: 15963->176400)
Selected audio codec: [ffmp3] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG layer-3 audio decoder)
==========================================================================
==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family
Selected video codec: [ffdivx] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg DivX ;-) (MS MPEG-4 v3))


Accepted mplayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu3 (source)

Quote of the day John Krakeur via spiritsoloquest.com

Somany people live within unhappy circumstances yet will not take the initiativeto change their situation because they are conditioned to a life ofsecurity,conformity and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peaceof mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spiritwithin a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's livingspirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounterswith new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have anendlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun
