Hi guys, I have to add this info to the subject of my previous post for completion purposes. I tried to use ffmpeg in a script and compare the results with my Handbrake method. To find the parameters to pass to ffmpg, so I could use the libx264 codec as I wanted, I used the info from here. Ffmpeg’s -help […]

I just started this weekend, transferring my old home videos from some miniDV tapes to my PC. I have more than 50 hours of playtime on tapes from my old video camera that have been waiting for this moment, for an average of 15 years or so. Better late than never, they say, and now I finally had some time […]
This post title may confuse my readers of Greek origin, as there are at least three meanings that pop up in mind when trying to make sense of the title word. Notice that most will read ‘J’ as in ‘Jason’. The first is ‘glass’, if you put an emphasis in the ‘a’ vowel. If you put emphasis on the ‘i’, […]
Hello people. This time I will give you one of my menu systems for graphic liquid crystal displays. I have made graphical menus in the past with a more project oriented approach, once-off, but I ended up spending time redoing the same functionality. This one I made it to be more reusable and it seems promising. It is difficult to […]
A way of being must be found To balance the stones and the dreams I carry Pebbles to keep my roots in Dreams to keep my leafs high Still someone must supply the water… Just something that came to me one day when I stayed in bed till late, during vacation time. It was as is, in less than a […]
I would like to say only a few words about the book of the same title as this post, by Henry S Warren, Jr, as this is nothing new, probably well-known already and rightly so. It had two editions so far, the first was in 2002. I bought the second, as pictured above (used, in very good condition, hardcover, sent […]
Στην πραγματικότητα δε θέλω να μιλήσω γενικά για τον Χρόνο, ένα τέτοιο post δε θα μπορούσε να ήταν ποτέ σύντομο και περιεκτικό, όπως μου αρέσει. Είναι ωραίος τίτλος όμως. Θέλω να μιλήσω για τον χρόνο που πέρασε από πάνω μου ή εγώ από μέσα του, ή συμβαίνει ενώ υπάρχω, ή τέλος πάντων… Ήταν τα γενέθλιά μου στις 21 και πολύς […]
Happy new year, everyone! The end of 2016 was as the rest of the year, busy, without much to mention. The one good thing for me was this: I sold my old Kawasaki KLE 500 and bought a slightly used (for a bike first used in 2012) Aprilia Shiver 750. You can see it below. I liked this model […]
I just made this banner image for my home page slider with inkscape. I like this software, it has saved the day more than once for me. I have used it for making labels for products of my day job, making placing diagrams for the pick and place machine guy, even for modifying postscript files (silkscreens) generated with old EDA […]
I have changed my mind regarding the project I had started with LoRa modules. I will use it as part of a commercial product for the company I am working for, and since this product will need certification, I decided to change and choose another module. I will leave HopeRF’s RFM9xW in favor of Microchip’s RN2483. RFMs are cheaper but […]
