Over the weekend I managed to get split a 15minute video I took at the Family Christmas Party into smaller sections so that it could be uploaded onto youtube. Being a fan of Ubuntu, I had track down an application that could split the mp4 file from my fujifilm S2000HD camera. I found MP4Box, a fairly easy to use command line application.
You can view the videos, The Farmers Pt1 and Pt2. My skills at video capture leave a bit to be desired, but I was sat on a hard concrete floor that was very uncomfortable, so it is a bit shaky.

Work
nd Well I am at work and its 20:50. I am upgrading a couple of our customers servers. Hopefully it won't be a late night. While the upgrade is working away, I have been surfing ebay to see if there are any bargains to be had. Not found any yet, but there are some monsoon dresses that my wife would look absolutely stunning in.
Well its nearing Midnight and I have just about finished. I have just discovered that one of my favourite bands Runrig from my days at Paisley College are on last.fm. Yeahaa. One of my all time favourite Runrig tracks is Skye.

Beer and Curry
Went out for a Beer and a Curry at one of the local pubs last night with some mates. We usually try and meet up every 4 to 6 weeks, but lately this has stretched to 6 months. It was good to catch up on what's been happening, however one of the group may be of to Switzerland for 6 months work. Ideal time of year just after Christmas. Next meeting we intend to head into Brum for a curry.

MCCC Family Christmas Party
Over the past weekend (6th, 7th) December we helped run the Family Christmas Party for the Midlands Centre of the Caravan Club. Overall it seems to be a successful weekend, most people commenting favourably.
However at the end of the weekend I did have very sore feet, having not sat down for most of the weekend. I would do it all again and probably will next year.
The theme for the Party was Disney and a good selection of people made the effort to dress up, I was Captain Jack Sparrow, my wife was Elizabeth Swan, and our two boys where characters from High School musical 2. Our friends were The Incredibles and characters from Toy Story.
If I can find some free time I will put pictures on my picasa account. I also manage to record a 15 video of the evening entertainment that I will upload to youtube at some stage.
