winter is back!

Inevitable, isn't it...

On the other hand, winter allows people to work more efficiently (ok lets not generalize. It allows ME to be more efficient because during summer i end up being at the beach all day).

So this winter there's loads of work to be done! From iPhone apps to ThemeChef evolution to ending and starting some new projects.

I maintain 3 websites now (which this, my blog, a bit neglected - :( ).

www.re-compile.com is our "corporate" website, where we are being

Why don't projects ever end?

Ever worked on something for too long and after long nights and lots of work you think "mmm yes, this project will end soon, i reckon sometime next week"?

Then it will go all wrong, and you will find that all the bugs that wouldn't reveal themselves till that time, will be detected during the last week.

fully configurable websites almost here

Why does the client have to pay big amounts of money in order to get a website? In most cases is a template and the developers just copy and paste modules without much effort.

Known issue, you say. Indeed. Apple will replace it for free. So it has been. I took it there, they saw it and 2 weeks later it was ready.

They insisted on sending the package instead of me going there to get it. Very well, i thought.

Linux dvd authoring & video convert

Well, converting to various formats isn't easy.

DVD Authoring is dead easy on the other hand. I have tried DeVeDe (http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html) a few years back and it would crash before it even turned itself on.

But things changed, and the 1st time i used the latest version, i created a DVD video disk from a .avi file.

So far, so good!

Second problem was to embed (for various reasons) my greek subtitles into the .avi file. That is still a problem to be hone
