Wrote a perl script to convert demultiplexed SEGB files (SEG code 4444) and A5 files into a standard SEGY file. The software we're using is about 25 ways to awful, so... why not write your own?!

( The guts )

Takes a 24-bit sample and converts to IBM 32-bit floating point.

I should really try and optimize this, because I use it quite a bit, and I know I'm making way too many calls. (Strict isn't enforced for one... naughty naughty!)

I've thought about using this space as an open code repository since Google caches this stuff, but I don't know. The chances of anyone finding it and then giving a crap about it are very, very slim.



Tax-free weekend is coming up here in Texas. Mathematically, the worst sale of the year, but people seem to go crazy for it.

Red Faction: Insane environment destructibility overshadows any storyline or repetitive issues.

BF1943: It's a year later, the war is still going on and EA still "shocked" at the demand.

I'm not sure how I turned it on, but the OSD Lock on this ViewSonic sucks. It locks you out of the menu screen and looking up "OSD Lock" viewsonic turned up a bunch of nothing on Google. So for my posterity, here's how to unlock it:

Press the menu button on the TV. It should bring up the "OSD Lock" message. Now press and hold the Menu, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons for 5 seconds. You should get the message "OSD Unlock" -- You can now go into the TV menu again! Yay!

Domo-kun demands you have a good Easter, or the crazy-eyed bunny gets it!
