I’d almost forgotten that I hate computers. Then I came home from Memorial Day weekend and woke my desktop up from Sleep in order to extract the pics I’d taken. The computer looked ok for about 15 seconds, then kind of froze. The cursor would move but it didn’t do anything. I watched it do (apparently) nothing for about 2 minutes when I hit the hard-reboot button. It hung at POST with the HDD light on solid. I couldn’t get into the BIOS, so I tried plugging into a different SATA port on the mobo, and finally got the thing to post by … unplugging the drive completely. I got into the bios, did a “load failsafe defaults” and tried plugging the drive back in and booting. It made it through POST this time but gave me the “INSERT SYSTEM DISK” error. After about an hour of messing around with it I turned it off and came upstairs to go to bed. The drive is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, 1000 GB, purchased less than 18 months ago (Christmas 2008). I know things die, but this is just dumb. Maybe tomorrow I’ll see if anything shows up using a USB-to-SATA adapter. Sigh.
libiphone / libmobiledevice is now in the official Fedora repo!
Hooray! This was strange though:

Lost Finale: Dumb
The LOST finale was a decent episode against the backdrop of a terrible season. Really nothing got answered. The only way it could be not terrible is if everyone on the plane died when it crashed in the series pilot, but that doesn’t appear to be what happened. Oh well, at least it’s over.
Java Code: searching a Binary Search Tree for the largest value strictly less than X
Someone recently asked me how to do this, so I figured I’d write it up in Java since it’s still the language I’m most comfortable with:
Node.java
package com.evanhoffman.bst;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
/**
* Node in a binary search tree in which values = are in the right branch.
* @author evan
*
* @param
*/
public class Node<v extends Comparable> {
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Node.class);
private Node left = null;
private Node right = null;
private V value = null;
public Node(V t) {
this.value = t;
}
public V getValue() {
return value;
}
public boolean isLeaf() {
return (left == null && right == null);
}
public void addNode(Node node) {
if (node.getValue().compareTo(value) < 0) {
if (left == null) {
left = node;
logger.debug("Assigning "+node.getValue()+" "+
"to left child of node "+value);
} else {
left.addNode(node);
}
} else {
if (right == null) {
right = node;
logger.debug("Assigning "+node.getValue()+" "+
"to right child of node "+value);
} else {
right.addNode(node);
}
}
}
public V findMaxStrictlyLessThan(V t) {
return findMaxStrictlyLessThan(t, null);
}
/**
* Returns the greatest value in the tree strictly
* less than (as defined by {@link Comparable#compareTo(Object)} the given value.
* @param t
* @return
*/
private V findMaxStrictlyLessThan(V t, V currentMax) {
if (t.compareTo(value) = current node "+value+", checking right (if exists)");
currentMax = value;
return right == null ? currentMax : right.findMaxStrictlyLessThan(t, currentMax);
}
}
@Override
public String toString() {
if (isLeaf()) {
return "{value="+value+"}";
} else {
return "{value="+value+", left="+left+", right="+right+"}";
}
}

Ripping a DVD to iPhone or iPod-compatible m4v for free?
I was stuck somewhere the other day wishing I had the full movie “Cars” on my iPhone. Surprisingly, this is not something you can presently do through iTunes. After some searching I figured out an easy way to do it for free. The two programs you’ll need are good old DVD Decrypter and WinFF. Put DVD Decryptor in IFO mode and set it not to split the .vob files by size (so it rips them to one huge 6+ GB .vob file). Then drag the .vob file onto WinFF (making sure to use the proper preset for iPhone/iPod) and click “Convert.” It’ll take a while but it works. With my first attempt there seem to be some audio/video sync issues but I’ll play around with it.
Also, see this previous post for more info about WinFF and iPhone-compatible video.
