ffmpeg "crush"

This is a function from one of my "dotfiles".

VERY useful on QuickTime/iMovie exports of screencaps for bug reports, etc.

Preserves aspect ratio, but sets some maximums: 720p, 24fps, 44.1 audio (hardly touched).

How I configure my Logitech G502 mouse to make me more productive

I use a "gaming mouse" as my current favorite every-day computer mouse, when I'm not just using the trackpad.

If you're not familiar with it, it's a great computer mouse that has some extra buttons that can be arbitrarily assigned key combos, macros, and various functions.

Recently, I decided to tweak some settings for every day desktop/work use, and I've been quite pleased. Here's a couple things I did:

Middle scroll wheel: left/right tilt

I wanted this capability for various reasons. It's not necessarily stable, because uap0 has to use the same channel as wlan0, and if you're traveling/mobile, wifi channels aren't necessarily predictable.

This is not a guide. This is just so I remember how to get back where I started, in case I wipe this thing. =)

Extremely helpful guides that got me here:
