Last weekend, Matthew asked me if I was up to anything. I told him I wasn’t so he invited me to join him, his wife, and his parents. So, I headed out to his parents’ place in the country. We spent the afternoon swimming in the pool and then went on to Round Top in the evening. We heard the Texas Festival Orchestra perform at the Festival Institute. They played Mozart’s Don Giovanni: Overture, and Concerto in A for Calinet & Orchestra. After the intermission, they played Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a nice concert hall out in the middle of no where. Makes me wonder what other treasures are hiding out in the Texas countryside.
Been a while since I have posted here. I expect most of the reason is due to the fact that the summer is progressing slowly. I did take off last weekend and spent time with the parents. We spent a fair amount of time watching the nine Doctor Who episodes I brought with me.
In the mean time, I started hosting the repository for perian, a project to bring ffmpeg codecs to QuickTime. Assuming that cross-compiling issues with ffmpeg can be dealt with, then it should work out well.
