Updated Handbrake Zune Transcoding (now in h.264 with iPhone support)

John Roepke February 4, 2010
With the release of HandBrake 0.9.4 I've finally been able to get a good x264 based encoding process running that produces video that is supported on both the Zune 8/16/120/HD and the iPhone. The encoding process does run bit longer than my previous method, but the end result is much better quality (due to being h.264 now).

A (mostly) top down shot of some of the area around the Port of Long Beach, with a seemingly endless amount of shipping containers and other miscellany repetition. One of the interesting features here, the enormous parking lot at the top of the image, is a Toyota logistics facility. (Unsurprisingly, they have a lot of cars to move!)
LA doesn't really have that tall a downtown compared to other cities I've flown through, what sets it apart is the way it sprawls.

Sometimes the sun is in just the right place at sunrise. And LA underneath just stretches on as far as the eye can see.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of flying over California and the rest of the West Coast mountain ranges.

Recovering from a Bad Mercurial Subrepo State
about 12 years ago

Earlier today I was checking out a Mercurial repository I setup a while back as a blank template for projects. Unfortunately, my last commit to it was a merge that broke the subrepo state. It also suffered from a typo in the .hgsub file. In short, the repository was hosed because I couldn't update to any of the previous revisions. I kept getting errors like:

cloning subrepo vendor/_src/twig.js from git://github.com:justjohn/twig.js.git
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

abort: git clone error 128 in vendor/_src/twig.js (in subrepo vendor/_src/twig.js)

and

abort: invalid subrepository revision specifier in .hgsubstate line 5

It took me a lot of searching to find a solution to these problems, so I'm documenting it here in the hope that someone else finds it useful.
