Flac to MP3 (flac2mp3.pl)

TweetI wrote a crappy perl script to read all the .flac files in a directory and convert them to MP3 using LAME, extracting the meta-data and inserting it as ID3v2 tags. I figured this might be somewhat useful to others, so here you go: flac2mp3.pl

Apocryphal post #2

TweetI watched Chocolat tonight; it was pretty good. So much stuff is going on that I can’t even begin to explain it. The job is good and everything else is ok, or ok enough for now. One thing is clearer to me now than ever before: I was never meant to follow in anyone’s footsteps. [...]

Apocryphal post #1

TweetThis morning, with the help of archive.org, I found a paper I’d put up on my website way back in 1997. It was written for my 12th grade AP English class, during the peak of my Stevie Ray Vaughan fanboy phase. I converted it to PDF because the original ASCII text version looked kind of [...]

I am a weird dude.

TweetI am a weird dude. I still feel like there’s a huge part of my personality I’m hiding from everyone, including myself. I feel like if I go in there it would be really weird. When I was in first grade I won the spelling bee because two other people misspelled the word “thief.” They [...]

TweetYesterday was probably in my top 5 worst days ever in terms of commuting. When I left the house around 8:15 AM it was about 35-40 degrees. Sometime around 11-12 it started snowing, and by about 2 it was blizzarding heavily. The wind was insane. Snow stopped around 5 PM and the sun came out [...]

TweetHere’s a sentence whose horror can only be appreciated by people familiar with the Long Island Rail Road: “Ladies and Gentlemen, for today only, this train will be making all local stops to Penn Station.” Seriously… fuck you guys. My monthly ticket went from $168 to $178 and the service has continued to degrade. Car [...]

TweetOk this day is starting out really super. I wake up to my alarm clock blaring, interrupting a dream in which somebody was yelling at me that “The database connection is DOWN! It’s DOWN, man!” But I don’t think the guy meant down as in like, defunct, he just meant it was down, like, “man [...]
