| 2009/01/01 How to Calculate How Many Calories You Need to Eat to Lose Weight
The key to fat loss is first figuring out how many calories you should be taking in each day. Many people skip right over this step and jump straight into “eating healthy” but if you have no idea how many calories you should be eating, how can you ensure you are feeding your body what it needs to function and in turn will allow you to lose the fat you want to shed? Missing this part of the process is what most often causes the dreaded plateau, aka the "fat loss brick wall". So do yourself one huge favor and take a few minutes to do some quick calculations....

| 2008/12/22 AVIFile Tutorial
Windows contains a powerful set of video file functions called the AVIFile API ('Application Programming Interface'). The AVIFile API set of functions is part of an even larger API called the Video For Windows API. It is possible to use the AVIFile functions from Visual Basic. However, the lack of samples and documentation for VB programmers makes it a non-trivial and even daunting task. I have been using the Video For Windows API with Visual Basic for a couple of years now and from C/C++ before that. Most recently, I have been experimenting with the AVIFile functions for creating and editing AVI files. I hope that sharing some of my discoveries here will allow others to get through the maze of quirks and pitfalls in these functions a little quicker than I did....
