New - ed

Well, no video as of yet. Open Movie Editor on Ubuntu is still giving me problems. I've even tried compiling from source from Medibuntu repositories with no change. I have the video complete, however it still will not render to a real format that anything else can read.

Anyways, now onto stuff I did manage to complete. I finally got some pictures (although very poor lighting quality as they were lit with my car headlights) of my new Bicycle:

New Bike Computer

Even had a chance to setup the tripod and get a few shots of the new state of the master bath which has a bit more color than before:

Not too much new has happened in the past few weeks really. Still training for the Triathlon whenever I get an opportunity, including a 27 mile bike ride last weekend. I also went out and purchased triathlon shorts, and all I think I need from here is a helmet for the biking segment. Running has been put on hold for a while to prevent further injury to my shin, and I'll start swimming this week. I'm hoping to be able to get the motorcycle down here this weekend and be able to take advantage of this warm weather!

In closing, here is a photo I snapped of a jeep put to good use:

Everything in it's original place.

Well, I finally am getting settled back into the house, which is great. Commute is down to less than 30 minutes a day which is great seeing as I no longer have to fill a 20 gallon tank every other day! I'm hoping to get some pictures as well as some video, however video production on Linux is giving me a bit of grief at the moment. I've been keeping myself busy most of the time with training for the triathlon, averaging 10-15 miles/week on foot and 30+ on bike/week. We'll see how long I can keep this pace, as I'm starting to have some issues with lower legs. I'm going to be giving it a couple days rest and see how it fares.

I still need to get some photos of the new bicycle, a new laptop has been procured, and lots of projects with the house. I might even get the motorcycle down here this weekend! :-)
