Lots of video encoding testing this week - I’ve decided to give back to the OSS community. It’s my first time that I can actually contribute, because tovid is a Bash script. Also, other upgrades in the house have begun: a new faucet in the kitchen, a new screen for the bathroom window (to let some air through the place). It’s in beta testing phase; if it survives a good wind storm, I’ll make another for the shower room.
Will buy materials for a screen door this coming week, too. Install should be relatively easy - just a pressure fit with wood and concrete. Can’t modify the concrete parts at all cos it’s a prefectural building.
But, tomorrow, I’m off to Fujikyu Highlands - one of Japan’s best amusement parks, and home to some of the world’s most extreme coasters according to coaster net (”find” fuji with your Edit menu/Ctrl+F).
These coasters in particular (other stats on the right):
- 5th tallest, 6th highest drop, 8th fastest, 6th longest.
- 1st acceleration, 3rd fastest.
