Topolino Wheelset Review and Veloflex Pave Reviews
h2. Topolino Wheelset Topolino Tech. I’m a crazy dope with too much craziness for lightness. In any case, I just got these wheels. A great deal from “Bethel Cycles”:http://bethelcycles.com that includes tires, rim strip and tubes. I finally got these and mounted them with a set of Veloflex Pave 700×22 tires. Here’s a review of…

a little ludwig goes a long way: SHN. John points out that instead of using lossy Mpeg compression. Going to a lossless compression scheme like SHN might be better. Great point. With disk space so available, I’m already encoding at 320Kbps variable rate which is still 5x less than the raw CD format. But, I…

Wifi Hotspot Directories
Here are some of the top Google hits for wifi hotspot directories. Interesting to see the third tier actually building networks: * “Node DB”:http://www.nodedb.org/. Wireless node database. * PDAStreet: Software: Other Internet & Communications: WiFi HotSpot Directory. An Excel spreadsheet of access points. * “Riverwalk Directory”:http://www.makewirelesswork.com/directory.htm. Another directory. I think this is the actual content…

VideoFoundry can split MP3 and WAV
Sonic Foundry. After all that, it turns out that VideoFoundry/Video Explosion can strip out the audio tracks and produce MP3 or WAV files. It is buried in the custom render menu when you choose Make Movie. Not documented anywhere either. Sigh.
