Avidemux
After going from using Linux exclusively I have started to use Windows again and I wanted some software which was free and would do a few basic video editing and converting actions, such as joining files together than converting them to mpeg-4 avis. I first off tried “Any Video Converter”, which was ok, but fairly simple and I disliked it not being open source and having versions which cost money (what was I missing out on?).
After trying AVC I then remembered Avidemux a really great, free open source video conversion tool, you can get versions for windows and other OSs here on Avidemux download page.
Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks.
It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.
Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license.

I am starting two photo projects, both about people. The first is the infamous 365 days photo challenge, I aim to take a self portrait every day during 2010. It will serve as a diary and force me to practice taking photos and being creative!
The second project is one where I want to take at least one photo of a friend, or family or someone I meet each week.
Here is my January 1st photo followed by one which almost made it.

Some photos from this years run into the sea! It was high tide and everyone had to walk across the rocks to get into the sea making it extra painful on the feet! There was also a lot of surf, I loved the sound the waves made when dragging the pebbles over each other. Here are some of my photos. Enjoy.

Japan
I loved Japan, it is an amazing country. So different and full of beautiful, wonder, bright lights and singing technology.
Tokyo
The textures and patterns which typify Asia are still there, just around the corner from the pristine city blocks.
There is a great contrast between old/traditional and super-modern/western Japan. The next photo was taken at the Meiji Jingu Shrine and illustrates a little bit of what I mean.

Australia
Here are some of my photos from my month in the land down under.
Sydney
Sydney has very unique icons which I think make the city worth a visit. Mine was only a quick visit, a few days, so I didn’t really get to know the city and its character. The only impression I was left with was that of a fairly young, generic and not very special city with problems of graffiti and other city ills. However the opera house and bridge are quite spectacular, especially at night…
