What the hell happened to facebook?

Facebook redirects to Myspace. What in the world happened to Facebook?

Good thing somehow. So I am forced not waste more time on any of those addictive yet lame Casual Games.

Freedom!

(/me goes back programming. :D)

Oh.

I guess you came here to look for answer. Well... it's just a problem with re-routing, which usually occurs on servers -- not Facebook server but Content Delivery Network servers and/or your router device. What happens is that, if there was a problem fetching for the address of a site you are trying to visit (in this case, Facebook.com), your router will try to provide you alternative site that is just about the same as to what you wanted to view (in this case, MySpace.com).

So how do you go about this? You can simply restart your router. Or wait for a couple more minutes. Make sure you hard refresh your browser (do this by pressing Ctrl+F5), or clean you browser's cache.

But then again, if I were you, I would attend to something more important than wasting more time on Facebook. :)

MSYS pr not found

Ever got the pr not found error on MSYS?

Not sure why the packages made pr command to be obsolete. But compiling FFMPEG on Windows using MinGW and MSYS requires pr in the toolchain.

Do not worry, it is still on MinGW's download page though not easily accessible. It's hidden inside MSYS/BaseSystem/msys-core/obsolete

But be careful, you will only need the PR.EXE, everything else is unnecessary.

Open source Matroska MKV converter

It's been a long time since I blogged about anything.

Is your hard drive (the one where you save you files and all that -- not the other one, if you know what I mean ^^) getting all spaced up because of your video file collections? Despite the number of hard disks in your PC?

Don't sway there's an open source MKV converter that will take care of your AVIs.

As of this post there's simply no better compressed video format than Matroska. Sad as it may be, but MKV is not an open format.

Enter HandBrake, an open source (GPL-licensed) multiplatform video converter available for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Windows.

Remember. I'm just showing you a tool to help you get more disk space. I am not telling you to download pirated Hi-Def DVD rips out in the Internet and have the file size get shrank by this tool. Also, what I just said is not a reverse psychology thingy. ;)

EDIT: Been using MKV for more than a year and I never had the slightest idea that MKV was indeed an open format. Thanks robux4!
