The DaVinci Code

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

People say that the film is a crap. People say it’s anticristian. I must say, that when I went to church I couldn’t listen to the stupidity the priest was saying. From then I’ve never been in a church. I don’t belive in it. If I belive, I do it to God. Well you know… when something doesn’t want to happen, you ask him. :)

So, what’s wrong with this story? I say, nothing. It’s just another religion coming out of the Christian one. It happend many times in the past and I don’t see it as a problem. I just think that somebody is concerned about the money loss it will create in the “community”.

Behind that, the story is just amazing. But to really enjoy the film you have to read the book first. When I was watching the movie, the scenes were just as I’ve seen them when reading.

Linux and bash

You type 3 strings in the command line and you get 254 qt videos converted to theora.
You write 100 lines of bash and you get 300 static HTML pages.
What do you want more? Clicking?

Let’s see how much time do you spend on clicking in Dreamweaver to make 300 static pages linking on each other in an unobvious way? A week?

Linux -> I’m just lovin’ it!

When building libraries becomes a nightmare

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I’ve got a virtual machine on our ciberpipe Xen machine, to build cinelerra packages for slackware. The machine is a Slamd64 image. As it seems it is a new distro built for x86_64 architecture and as being new it doesn’t have a wide range of package selection, because it doesn’t have a big community building them. So… if I need something not included in the default package set I have to build it from myself. The problem is, that cinelerra has a big variety of dependecies to solve.

After a few hours of library building and problems with the use of wrong libraries with the !SAME! name I got to a point where I don’t know what to do. :)
When compilig ffmpeg it returns an error when using libdts. But I compiled it already, and I don’t know what is wrong with it.
I used this package: http://developers.videolan.org/libdca.html

The error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/3.4.4/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/3.4.4/../../../libdts.a(parse.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol’ can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/3.4.4/../../../libdts.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libavcodec.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/apps/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavcodec’

And it’s making me crazy. :P
