FFMPEG is so great… whatever it is you need to do with a video file, all you have to do is type "ffmpeg [thing i need to do] into Google", copy-paste your first result, and then it doesn't fucking work

#GoodAfternoon.

So far, I have mowed the lawn, got an oil change, ran some AM errands, and got a coat of paint on MDMRNia's bedroom. Doing a second coat after lunch.

So, pretty productive.

Hope your day is going well.

@neilhimself released one heck of an album.

I know shouldn't be typing this message because as we know wanting to be part of the conversation is most of the conversation, but, I have listened to this song all morning.

Also, the track below is exceptional.

this link leads to youtube. The song is The Problem with Saints by Neil Gaiman and Fourplay String Quartet.

So, Pokemon has this older online client called Pokemon TCG Online. Now they've been building a new one called Pokemon TCG Live.

Online provides an export function for decks and Live provides an import function.

They are not compatible.

So I built a converter. Get your old decks to the new system and keep on playing!

(It may still have some bugs, let me know if you find cards that don't import correctly)
