Now stop surfing the 'net and go drink some beers. Nerds.

I have found that re-encoding MP3s for the phone works fairly well. It reduces the filesize by up to 3 times, which is really handy when I only have 28MB of availalbe space.

lame --mp3input -m s -b 64 --resample 44.1 <INPUT> <OUTPUT>

I could even drop it down with -m m (mode mono) and -b 32 (minimum bitrate 32).

This way I have a few mixes that go for over an hour each, and the quality is still listenable (compared to nothing :)b

I have had Kylie's "Fever" as a ring tone on my phone since I first got it back in July 2004. That's over 6 months of hearing the song and associating it with an incoming call. Now I can't listen to that tune and not think my phone is rining.

I've changed it to The Chemical Brother's "Galvanize" but will be sure to keep it in high rotation as to not scar my subconcious.

I've got a good feeling about this week. The best way to describe it is that I feel like I'm a horse in the starting barrier waiting to bust out and start racing.

I think that's a good way to be at 8:30AM on a Monday morning.

It's probably because I have very defined goals for the coming few days, and Wednesday will see Mark and Em come home after 6 and 3 months, and Carrie after a few weeks. And it's Australia Day!

First up, when Seth and Ryan were driving around on the car they had Infusion on the radio. Lets hope they make an appearance at The Bait Shop!

Secondly, there is a looming plot with Marissa and Alex gettin' it on. Girl on girl style. Wicked.
