People and Numbers

So in the last month I have been getting to the GYM at least 3 times a week. Today I did hot yoga! It is awesome. I was surprisingly flexible. (Little tip, I did Gymnastics for a few years when I was 8 or 9). In addition I have made a pretty significantly change in my diet. NO MORE refined sugars. No sugar drinks, just water or milk. I also cut my servings in half, and eat a lot more fibre. All together I feel great. And surprisingly enough I have not really had a problem resisting the fun foods in my old diet. I have been sleeping a lot better as well.

The Hot Yoga was pretty intense. The time went by pretty quickly. You move between poses quickly, and it really pushes your physical stamina. I have good things to say about the activity.

I have been trying to load video onto my Blackberry… with little success. Why would I try to do this…. Um… Because you can and I want to. So I tried using third party encoders making sure it fit the BB list of playable media types. It didn’t work. Well I don’t like failing, so I jumped back on the horse, so to speak, and loaded the BB desktop software. Apparently they have a Media converter in the application developed by Roxio. So I loaded that. And in about 5 minutes I was letting the software re-encode Star Wars III. It took about 30 minutes but it works and looks great. So if you are trying to encode a movie for playback on a Blackberry 8830, use the desktop application because apparently RIM wraps the format for the phone. In any event, I am happy to say I figured it out.
