Wanted to transfer some songs to my phone from iTunes. I have the default encoding set to AAC, so songs that I imported from CDs, get stored as m4a (MP4 audio) files. Realized that this format wouldn’t work with my phone, so was looking for some converter. Tried ffmpegX (that I normally use for video conversion) and it worked fine. But then I was lazy to do all files one by one.
Found Swith! A nice little utility that can batch convert you audio files to and from a number of formats. Including wav, gsm, ogg, mov, aac and mp3.
Worked pretty well and I was ready to roll in a few minutes! Power of simple utilities!

Writing is one of my passions. I actually started as the founder editor of India’s first ezine - MagNet (which we later converted to a software company!) Most of the people write really bad emails, let alone technical documentation, articles or reports. It’s not just the English usage, it’s not just the punctuation but it’s much more.
I was talking to someone about technical writing. Wanted to suggest some resources so that he can polish his writing style and be ready for bigger assignments. A little bit of web surfing opened may doors. If you are interested in writing, planning to write an article, or dream of authoring a book, I strongly recommend going through these resources.
I guess I too have a lot of reading to do next
