How to convert mp3 to amr (for mobile phones!)

*** Only for Linux!! ***
for Windows and Linux

Eva and me have been searching a way to get music for our new Sharp 770SH for a while now. It’s very difficult as the size of the mp3’s are very high for a cell phone and the AMR format was our best option.

So I started to search the way I could do such thing…and it has been hard to find. But then the amazing ffmpeg came into my life :P

More than a year out?

The last post was from May 2006, since then…well too many things happened:

  1. I’m forced to use Windows (I play Lord of the Rings Online: Lotro…and  Neverwinter Nights 2 + expansion, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008)
  2. I wanted to try a new Linux distro, but my second HD broke so I’m not going to test that or any distro for a while…
  3. I have a new graphic card: Nvidia Point of View 8600GT in which Lotro looks cooler than ever (I have to try it with F.E.A.R.)
  4. I hae my own domain/server, so I kind of lost track of my old blog until I had to configure a plugin and use the API key…

That’ it, I’ll try to stay tuned for now on…

Training and having fun

Today I went to work for the training. I still have 4 more days of training and we only have to learn about routers and practice some shit with the 2 programs they use.

It look easy, but at the time we'll be dammn nervious so the first week it's gonna be awfull! lets hope things won't go nuts and we get nice people on the lines :)

How hard can it be? no idea, I think I have to wait until I'm on the phone :)

Blink it!

crazy life…

the last time I wrote here was in April 19th. then I was getting ready for a new job: Waiter. I was a little bit nervous as I hate that kind of jobs: telling the customers "Oh! I'm sorry, my boss is so stupid that he forgot the buy that yesterday so we don't have today (coming back to he kitchen with the customer petitions') Oh! I'm sorry Sir, the cooker just told me we don't have that also…"

The first day was horrible: at the beginning it was almost ok! until the moment the owner came in and told me to always face the door, and then blamed the metre (or however the name is) because I was'nt facing the door on my VERY first day!!

So, around 15hrs the "boss" asked about my experience in the kitchen. I was a little bit shocked because of the question, but at the end I love the kitchen ;)

I hadn't even finished the morning shift and I was already working in the kitchen and to be honest, I was finally happy. The first hours are always the worst ones: you don't know how things work, where they are and where do they put things, so I spend the whole day asking and asking, and when I wasn't asking, I asked a little bit more about other things, what are those for..anyways, trying to know the most I could in the shortest time.

For the last 3 days the rhythm of the job went down so fast the we were preparing things for the next week. Nothing to do and everybody with good mooth: really cool!

A few days later I bought a bike and, of course: somebody stole it :( RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY RESTAURANT!!! i couldn't believe it…and I said "as long as I don't have a save place where I can put my bike, I won't buy another one"

Yesterday I came late to the job (15 minutes) late and he was very upset (we all thought it was because of the lack of customers) and I told him it would never happen again (bla bla bla)

At the end of that day, after everyone got paid, the boss called me to the "office" and paid me until that day, everything.

@ 2am, May 5th, I ended my contract (which, BTW, I signed when I was getting paid), after 14 days working 10 hours a day (if not more): a really bad paid job.

I hope I get another job soon enough to have money to flight to Austria and meet my brother and friends…

The sad thing is that like the people in my work ex-work, very, very kind people…

My Fight against Alzheimer

I'm 26 (almost 27) and I feel like forgetting things is more usual than most people. I've always had problems remembering things.

My ex-girlfriend hate it and Eva understand me as I told her the truth: Is not that I choose to forget/not remember things that she might find important, that just happens.

I'm afraid of what could happen to me in 10 years. It's actually Alzheimer? or it's just that I don't pay enough attention to the things that happen everyday.

Lets get back to Business

It has been a week already since my last post I was wondering why. Maybe because my peruvian friend from Austria is here to work: woohoo!!!! Isn't that great???

Then Madiamarkt opened a store here in Seville and now it's like my seccond house :P (I bought a wireless telephone today ;) )

Eva's mother has to go to Madrid to get cirgury next week and she want to spend some time with her so I took the time to help Danilo with some papers after caming to Seville.

I've been using some software, reading a Linux Magazine for free (niceeee!!!) and walking a looooot (for Danilo's papers) and so on.

I hope I'll get more time to blog daily. Other things are still the same: BlogMad is getting even worse with -379.5 crerdits…but more news tomorrow :)

Back online

Yes!!! it seems that they understood that I had nothing to do with the spamming ;) and so, my site is back online and it won't be deleted or suspended anymore :)

BUT (I hate "but"s) comments and ecards are only allowed to registered users as a way to stop fucking spammers…
