I bought BoA (The First Album) off of Amazon earlier. The only real dud in the whole album that I have found so far is "Dress Off"; I still have to listen to "Look Who's Talking" and "Touched". Here is a video of the song Obsessed; this is the best song in the whole album in my opinion.

Edit: "Look Who's Talking" is another dud. "Dress Off" is definitely a worse song though.

This is an incremental update but there are some neat changes made. The main motivation for releasing an update is that YouTube changed the format for high quality videos so the YouTube parser would only get the low quality version of videos. Now, the mp4 version of the file is used as the high quality video file on YouTube. Changes:

• Changed YouTube page parser to get the new default high quality format
• Experimental Windows release. Both the GUI and command-line versions work
• Site directories option added. Videos from a particular site are saved in their own directories
• Small preferences window added. FFmpeg location and site directories option can be set
• GirlsInTube parser added
• Timed updating of GUI. Download and transcode information is updated every 1/2 second. This is mainly for Windows since updating after each message from ffmpeg or wget was too intensive and would cause Windows to slow down
• Changed regular expressions used with ffmpeg due to new Ubuntu package
• RedTube and DailyMotion parsers fixed
• Fixed some issues with the padding code

Happy Pi Day to all.

I finally broke down and quit my second round of P90X last week. Round 2 was pretty bad overall and there were constantly factors getting in my way. The final straw was when I had a really painful mouth pain for several days. I had missed quite a few workouts beforehand but that made me miss enough to make me quit. My diet was also a major problem that I did not attempt to fix beforehand; my diet had not changed since after I finished round 1. I also think that I was eating a bit too much because I was concerned at some point that I wasn't eating enough.

There was some progress with this last attempt. Some of the more recent changes are that I am now almost at a 30 in. waist, I can almost do 8 bicep curls with 30 lb dumbbells, and my man bobbies seem like they are almost gone.

I will try to start a round 2.1 P90X run within the next month. This time around, I need to make a detailed game plan and be more diligent than I was during round 1.

Here is a link to my Flickr pics for round 2. Check for day fail pics for the most recent pictures. My attempts aren't a good indication of P90X can really do but I like my progress and there are things that I can do now that I have never been able to do.
