Pendulum body suspended free to swing
I have made some blog-like notes on the pendulum webpage (www.pendulum-movie.co.uk) but they're not getting updated very often so I thought I would start a real blog instead.
Things are slowly coming together, we have chosen most of the music and have someone looking at writing the score. About half the scenes have been exported from Avid as omf and sent off to have the dialogue track level and stereo imaging sorted out.
Next step is to get the rest of the scenes finalised and then put the whole thing together, resulting in the first locked picture cut.

Widescreen signaling, aspect ratios and active format descriptors (WSS, AR, AFD)
There seems to be a lack of published information on the system used to signal aspect ratios in UK digital television broadcasts. I have written a simple guide for anyone wanting to learn more about it... http://www.pjdaniel.org.uk/afd/
Might add it to wiki too...

itunes remote
the problem: I have a pc which contains all my music and runs iTunes, the digital audio output is connected to speakers in the bedroom and in the lounge. I want to be able to skip/change tracks from a laptop but I don't want the audio to be played from the laptop speakers. In this case airtunes doesn't really help.
solution 1: I googled and found a simple php script that can control iTunes (http://nepthar.blogspot.com/2005/12/how-to-control-itunes-on-pc-from-any.html). This works well but doesn't give the full iTunes functionality, in particular there is no way to pick a song from the library.
solution 2: Asked my geeky brother to write new script with a library function. After a few hours it was working reasonably well. I perfected the layout and design and integrated it with the original player by modifying it to accept play requests via the url. Download the results here : http://pjdaniel.org.uk/webtunes/.
