No annoying flash anymore

I was reading this post and couldn’t read the text without loss of concentration all time. The fu**ing annoying flash animations on the left side disturbed me.

Now I’ve installed ClickToFlash (Leo, Tiger). It’s a WebKit plugin that prevents loading flash contents. Instead of it a static image is shown. To load it just click it.

If you wish to load flash contents automatically just right-click on a unloaded Flash box and add the site to your whitelist. If no right-click is available in older versions try this (type it in your shell) :

defaults write com.apple.Safari ClickToFlash.whitelist-array-add "slopjong.de"

Happy flash free surfing!

Update: It wasn’t flash. These are gif animations :evil:

Video conversion

This is a little howto (in fact it’s only a note for me :-D ) concerning conversion from one type into another using ffmpeg in the shell. You should have already installed ffmpeg ;-)

ffmpeg -i original.mpg -f flv -b 400000 -ac 1 -r 23 -s 320x240 video.flv

  • i: input file
  • f: output format
  • b: bit rate (video)
  • ac: number of audio channels
  • r: frame rate
  • s: size (widthxheight)

Update: There’s a video tutorial about ffmpeg here
