Just gave up. I tried reading a chapter from The chronicles of Narnia for my 5.5 YO daughter. She just couldn’t be still. After half a page she even tried crawling under a bed-sheet. I hope it is due to her having a cold, and not related to her age. (Teenage may start early with some…) She usually listens rather carefully when I read to her, and sometimes reads a sentence herself.
Today we started planning a halloween-party. We quickly invited three of our best friends and families. That’s enough to fill up our little house; 15 people. I’ll be making a cake decorated as a pumpkin. Water frozen inside a latex-glove may be a “cool” hand in a bowl of drink. My special chocolate candy, dipped in white chocolate and decorated with an “iris” will be delicious eye-bulbs with the coffe.
My patch to tagtool is now rewritten. The first try used a library called mp4ff, but it turned out to be available only in a heavily patched version of faac from freshrpms for Fedora only. Now I use mp4v2 from an unpatched faac. It also supports setting cover-art, so now most of the tunes in my iPod sports a teeny-weeny (10mm x 10mm) cd-cover-image. Looks rather cute. I nailed a few show-stopper bugs today, but there are a few more minor ones to weed out before I send anything to the maintainer. Those interested have to make do with a screen-shot for the moment.
