National Do not call Registry

The National Do not call Registry is up! Finally they’re doing something about phone-spam. Now for the next step, a national do not spam registry for email! haha that would be one HUGE database.

Most telemarketers cannot call your telephone number if it is in the National Do Not Call Registry. You can register your home and mobile phone numbers for free. Your registration will be effective for five years.

Livejournal Sux

Ripping audio from DVDs

I wanted to make note of this in my blog so I could reference it later. Very Handy way to rip audio from dvds.

Thanks Jeremy Zawodny and David Dorward

I use Transcode for this, for example:

transcode -i /dev/dvd -p /dev/dvd -T 1,1 -E 44100 -y null,wav -m myAudio.wav -s 3
