What’s the deal with this quality option? How much better is it? What are the nitty-gritty details? Unfortunately, Google Search is worthless nowadays , and a topic as technical as video compre...
MMS is a fairly antiquated thing, now that we have so many other (and better) options to share small video snippets with our friends and families. It’s from 2002, the size limit is outright an...
Howdy folks, I’m currently working on a project (under NDA), and the vast majority of my time is spent in a giant spreadsheet which feeds the game vast quantities of data. Every time we make a ...
Hello everyone! So yeah, this yearly blog post is about three… four months late… it covers two years now. I did have a lot of things written last year, last time, but the more things have ...
Hello everyone! This post is going to describe the way in which I export and encode my video work to send it over the Internet and archive it. I’ll be talking about everything I’ve discovered...
I just had to switch from a x399 motherboard to a B550 model, both by ASRock, both “Taichi”. It’s a long story as to why my hands were tied, but anyway, I did it without reinstalling Windo...
I like to store a lot of my 3D work in Dropbox, for many reasons. I get an instant backup, synchronization to my laptop if my desktop computer were to suddenly die, and most importantly, a simple...
I originally wanted to tweet this series of bullet points out but it was getting way too long, so here goes! I got this to replace a PG278Q, which was starting to develop odd white stains, and ne...
IT’S BROKEN. JUST WRITING THIS QUICK POST SO THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE MIGHT NOT WASTE AN HOUR LOOKING FOR INFO LIKE I DID. LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT: “p-state overclocking” is better than regula...
Hello again, it’s time for the yearly blog post. I’m a couple weeks late, and I’d like to keep it short this year, so let’s get started. I am technically still publishing this in Januar...
This blog post is about my personal history with video games, how they influenced me growing up, how they sometimes helped me, and more or less an excuse to write about associated memories with t...
I use a Raspberry Pi 3B to do video encoding — see this post . However, under certain circumstances, ffmpeg might end up ballooning in memory, and this can get serious very fast given that a...
Some high refresh rate monitors, such as my PG278Q, have a “Turbo” button that allow it to switch on the fly between 60 Hz, 120 Hz, and 144 Hz. I use it, and so should you! I’m going t...
Nowadays, I use an Alienware 13R3 as my laptop. Before that, however, I was on the i7 model of the Surface Pro 4. It had a funny quirk, you see: it was powerful hardware… too powerful to be con...
I have been toying with a Raspberry Pi 3 for a few months in my spare time. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a $35 computer, a card-sized motherboard. It’s using a system-on-a-chip (So...
Howdy! Time for the yearly blog post! There’s enough depressing stuff that happened this year, so I want to try and not focus too much on that; talk more about the positive and the personal. (...
My computer is, unfortunately, not in the same room as my modem. And up until recently, I was using ethernet-over-powerline adapters. It’s fairly “old” technology and depends a lot on the ...

Wo-ho-ho-ho there, it’s time for my yearly blogpost again. We all know how bad this year has looked; 2016 is a terrible year, 2016 was the worst year, 2016 this, 2016 that. And really, who co...
