of course, youtube still requires flash to upload with, completely demolishing any claims that removing it had to do with security issues :/.

i've been tweaking a version of smplayer as an html5 workaround. what i've discovered about it is that:
1) seeking crashes the processor. so, don't seek.
2) pausing the video disconnects it from the server. so, don't pause video.
these are behavioural changes that i can deal with. but, i'm not convinced that the solution is even stable, yet. see, there's something like 20 video drivers to experiment with. the default seems ok, except that it doesn't like seeking. if that changes, i have a lot of options to experiment with.
i feel that i should be working this out before i move on to the next option. so, i'm going to be experimenting with smplayer for a while. that's fine; it gets it out of my head, and lets me focus on something else.
i'll need to do groceries tomorrow. i may get a bit of a headstart tonight, even. it'll be a nice bike ride out to the far store this evening.
i'm rebudgeting a little, in taking the hst money out of the 5000. this was useful for july accounting, but it wasn't really honest. the reason is that the $300 they gave me for hst actually offset the $300 i owed in loans. i then took that $300 and spent it a second time on bathroom supplies. letting the $5000 eat it cushioned my expenses a little, but it was always meant as a trick, and i always meant to take it out.
what that means is that it's going to take a full year to balance it back out in my accounting sheet. 25*12 = 300. so, my grocery allotment is decreasing by $25 this month, and each month for the next year. the idea is that i paid it ahead, so that will balance out over time.
but, what that means is that i'm $300 in the hole on the $5000. i'm not going to wait a full year, of course. rather, i'm going to have to hope for some quieter months in terms of raw expense. and, august & september may be those months - although october looks busy, just in time for that gst rebate.
i've been distracted again today, as i have been the last several days. i got some cleaning done, at least - the shelves are lysoled and the cassette holder is cleaned and drying. i might ave to do another coat...
rather than get right back to finishing the living room, i'm going to take some time to finish the next season of videos and get the next season started. i'm also going to get my documents for court ready ahead of time, this time. when that's done, i'll try again on kijiji before i get to determining how much it's going to cost to buy all of this wood.
so, it could be up to a week before i get back to this. hopefully, my remaining items at least get in by then, so i can start with a blank slate.
