The following packages are needed: ssh, Xorg sever, twm. I am using  cygwin 1.7.1. Maybe something more … I installed everything under X11 to get it work by clicking the X/Win Server menu, which brings up an xterm window where I do “ssh -X” without problem….

We bought a house on June 26, 2009. Did the move on the weekend of June 27, 28. I like the small south facing gardening space in the backyard. This always reminds me of the farmer days in my childhood, when my father and mother made their living on a small land, growing cotton in the summer and wheat in the winter.

June 28: planted 8 tomatos from Chi Shuang.

June 30: planted 4 more tomatos from Chi Shuang, a line of 14 garllics, one purple flower that we grew from seeds (I forgot name).

June 30: introduced myself to Julia across the street. Carol visited us with a card a flower pot. Helen and Joy visited us with a pot of rose. Refrigerator arrived in the morning. Spent a lot of time cleaning tap residues inside it (damn GE for not using better quality tap). Caulked most of the 90-degrees. Oiled the garage door. Padded two chairs and the dinning table. Finally we can sit while eating!

I am able to put an old 45min *.rm video file to my Zune 80GB, using encode-handheld-2.5.pl + a version of ffmpeg that supports x264 video and aac audio.

Building ffmpeg:

svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-libfaac --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl
make

Converting:

./encode-handheld.pl -t ipod -f input-file -n new-title-for-the-video-file-to-show-in-zune-ui
