I have two Half-Marathons I’m setting my eyes on:
Ealing Half Marathon (29th September 2013)
Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon (6th October 2013)

Concatenating Videos
I’ve been cracking my head trying to figure out how to concatenate my dashcam videos, which get chopped by my dashcam into 15 minutes chunks. The most obvious one is ffmpeg, where I would use this:
$ ffmpeg -i "concat:`ls -l | egrep -i "apr\ \ 2" | awk 'BEGIN {ORS="|"} { print $9 }'`" -c copy output.AVI

30-minute run. Surprisingly, burned out pretty quickly. But I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a decent lunch…
My run was later than normal because of training at the office which delayed me, not to mention an accident at the Brent Cross junction with the North Circular Road….

Shorter run today, and scored pretty well — got 95% and I think this is probably because I actually pre-empted the start of the Green Zone.

Modular Modelling
Up until know, I’ve been following tutorials on modelling in Blender and they all use box modelling. However, I wonder if I could take a modular approach instead, and model parts of the character separately, then merge them together. The only reference images I have (short of drawing my own) are three-quarter views, which are a lot harder to model from a face or side view. So, if I model say the leg and foot independently, I can clone it and attach it to the torso.
Going to branch my Bitbucket repo and give this a go.

I’ve worked as both a user and as an IT engineer, so I know how true this is…. :P

Reasonable run today. Only scored 81% though. I used the larger, steeper lap this time, but managed to keep my pace more consistent.

Bad Driving – Mercedes 1
I finally have had an opportunity to process my dashcam videos for this week and here’s one from Tuesday.
Mercedes drivers have a bad rep and this guy isn’t helping by first jumping 5 cars in the queue in front of him (including me), forcing cars going the other way to stop, and then jumping the red light at the roadworks.
The clock on this footage was one hour behind (it was actually 16:11, not 15:11)
It should be noted that I caught up with him about five minutes down the road where he got caught behind another queue of traffic. Moral of the story, don’t jump the queue. It’s not smart, it’s not cool, and just proves you are more of a dick than you already are…

Scored 90% today. Did a longer lap of my local park this time, which had the steeper incline. Harder work, but better for pacing.
