7th December, 2024.
It’s: it’s officially official.
I’ve had more work done to my bathroom: and now have grab rails.
That’s …
Well, a sign of getting old, I think.

Here’s a storm coming …
Every-so-often, Britain get’s storm: which very occasionally, get nasty.
Storm Bert at the end of November: which was bad in some parts of the UK, but, thankfully, wasn’t too bad here in Brentwood.
Bar turning the ‘Lighting Up Brentwood’ event into something of a washout.
This week?
Storm Darragh is due to hit: today.
With Red, Amber and Yellow warnings for various parts of the country: that thankfully don’t seem to include Essex.
I’m thankful.
Whilst being very aware it’s blowy out.

Every so often?
I’ll rip a blu-ray.
In other words, I’ll copy a Blu-ray Disc, then turn it into something I stream to my AppleTV.
I did the final half of the equation — re-coding the copies — over night.
Using HandBrake’s ‘Apple 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround’ setting to turn the copies into 1440*1080 resolution .
mp4 files, on a 2024 M4 Mac mini.If I’ve got the figures right … ?
It’s taken Handbrake roughly a minute to re-code each minute of video at those settings.
I don’t know how the combination of settings and machine would do with a 4k video: but those results are very impressive: compared to my old Intel machine.
