Handy site lists 101 different tools to convert video, audio and more

September 12, 2007 by Tricia

Earlier today as I was surfing the net I came across a site called Conversion Central. It lists 101 tools to convert video, audio, music, image, PDFs and more. I’ve already bookmarked the site because I’m certain it will come in handy when I’m trying to find something to convert some type of file into another in the future.

I wanted to tell you about the site, because I’m sure you’ll find it handy too.

I mean, there’s been times in the past when I’ve tried to find software that would convert video from my cell phone to the more common AVI format. It was a frustrating search that took hours, but I finally did find something that would convert the files for me. Now of course I’m sure the software that I downloaded has expired or is outdated so it’s nice to have found this site that lists just about every kind of conversion tool that you can imagine.

Not only will you find a multitude of tools that will help you with converting video, converting music or converting images into different formats, but you’ll also find software and tools that will convert PDF files to Word documents and other formats, or convert text and rss and other text formats to PDF.

Scrolling down the page I also found tools for converting Power Point, Excel, drafting documents to new formats and tools to convert measurements, temperatures, currency, and even clothing sizes!

You have to check this site out. I’d be surprised if you didn’t at least bookmark or favorite it, like I did, once you visit.

Movie Night

September 9, 2007 by Tricia

Have you seen the movie “The Queen”? We recorded it off the movie channel last night and we’re just about to begin watching it.

I’d love to get your take on the movie. Didn’t it win an Oscar last year as well as several other awards?

I love settling in to watch a good movie every once in a while. I hope I enjoy The Queen.

Oh yes, I’ll be watching the movie and doing work on the computer. I’m so behind it seems I can never just have a few hours with the computer off unless I’m actually out of the house buying cabinet hardware, gardening supplies or some other thing!

I’m missing out

September 8, 2007 by Tricia

I’m not feeling well again today. Are you as sick of hearing that as I am?

It’s a real drag. I had plans for the day. Exciting plans.

I wanted to go downtown and perhaps see one of the films being shown at the Toronto Film Festival. If I couldn’t get into one of the films I’d planned to walk around the area where the majority of films and parties were being held to see if I could spot some stars.

Naturally I would have had my camera with me to take photographs of the stars.

The other thing that I had on the agenda was to plant some plants that I purchased last week. I bought some beautiful carnations, some very cool looking daisies, two different colors of Heather, and some kale and ornamental cabbage plants. I love the last two in the fall as they get quite colorful when the weather gets cool and look very attractive in the garden.

Oh and we also wanted to get some fire glass for our gas fireplace. Man is that stuff cool. We’ve got to get some by the time autumn comes around and we start using the fireplace more often.

Well there’s still tomorrow. Actually the film festivals on all week so there’s lots of time for me to get downtown to do some film and star sightings. I suspect some of the best sightings might be this weekend though.

Snakes on a Plane

September 4, 2007 by Tricia

The other day I taped the movie Snakes on a Plane. I thought I heard good things about that movie? I guess it was ok, but at the height of the snake attacks it was just too unbelievable and corny for me. The beginning and end of the movie were fine.

Did you see the movie? Did you enjoy it? I’m certainly glad that I didn’t go to the theater to see this one!

Oh yeah we’re going to have a home theater room

August 10, 2007 by Tricia

When we renovate our basement we are definitely purchasing home theater seating. Our basement is going to be a deluxe rec room!

We’ve got a 50 inch DLP TV and a great theater sound system so why not create a nice home theater room with proper seating?

Of course I think I also want to try to have a spare bedroom in the basement as well. Hmmm does home theater seating come as a pull out couch? LOL well if it does … I could kill two birds with one stone so to speak, couldn’t I?

I’m actually quite tired of all the renovations that we’ve been doing. I just want them done. Is anyone else going through the renovation blues?
