My beloved JVC GR-D73E stopped working! I really enjoyed having and using this beautiful machine. It was a compact, capable, elegant, well made piece of technology.It had captured so many happy family moments, it was with us in many key events in my family’s life. I asked around, the man who used to service them in my city retired many […]
Hello, I have installed a new certificate to my domain. Now you can visit the site using https: instead of http: protocol. I am using the free letsencrypt service. Edit 6-March: I am trying to enforce https protocol for all connections. Let’s see if there will be any problems… Have fun, Theodore
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’, […]

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 […]
