At last I’ve finally got round to doing somehting with the video I shot at some friends of ours wedding in France last year. I’ve been using Kino on Linux to capture the video and I’m just recompressing the unedited footage to DVD format so I can play it back later downstairs. The ultimate aim is to produce a nicely edited version, running to around 20 minutes, as a belated extra wedding gift for the happy couple. This will involve doing some nice DVD titles and scene selection menus.

Having received a bashing in the press this week due to all the other free email providers giving away 1GB accounts, Google has pulled back into the lead by increasing the storage on their Gmail accounts to Infinity+1. Of course it’s April 1st, so this could be a wind-up. But then again, they launched Gmail with 1GB last April 1st, and everyone thought that was a joke… but it wasn’t.

Update: They’re giving people two gigs really, and lots of other cool features.
