== Bernie's brain backup of April 2009 ==
+=== April 21th - x264 ===
+
+I re-encoded all videos from MJPEG, the crappy native format of my Canon camera, to x264 (aka MPEG4).
+Firefox 3.1/3.5 still doesn't grok it with the ##video## tag, but I didn't have a
+[[http://theora.org/|Theora]] encoder installed.

=== April 20th - Shinkansen tour ===
In a jounery report, the details of transportation are usually left out as uninteresting.
The ticket cost a whopping 11240 yen per person, and I'm not even getting a
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Express_999|machine body]] with it! ;-)
