I always have huge issues with MKV files. I love them, and they are the best for my screencaps, but my PS3 doesn't like to play them. Which makes for a very cranky me. There are other programs that I've tried to master, asking me to select audio formats and folder formats and everything. I've done the millions of steps only to end up with gigantic files or files with no sound. That's always fun.

Every few months I Google for MKV to AVI just hoping for an easy solution and I finally found it. The first one I found was a virus, which I hate, but then I went to MKV Converter's site. I downloaded, did the free trial and literally? It's open, select the output you want (and there are more than a dozen outputs) and then you click Convert.

Simple. Easy.

For anyone on my FList that wants to put something on their iPod, PSP, PS3, FlashUSB - whatever it is and it's only MKV that you can find? This'll help. It's on Sale now for the full version for only $30, or they say if you promote it in two places, they'll send you a code for free!

To be really honest with everyone that might read this, I didn't want to write this. Since this happened to me I opted to take a stand where I wasn't going to contribute to the posts that were out there. I felt that this was my business, this was something that happened to me and that really it was no one else's business what happened. From that point I have altered my belief to pretty much be completely open about the events. I have emails, and copies of logins.bml screens, and even my actual support request ticket all uploaded to servers, because I felt that if people wanted to know? They could ask me and I would share with them what happened to me. But I still stood by the notion that I didn't want to make a big public to-do about it all.

Mind you I wasn't doing this out of spite or hate or anything of the sort. Something horrible happened, yes. However in the end the only thing I lost was that friend. To be honest if they were willing to do that to me I didn't really feel it was that much of a loss in the end. It might sound a bit cruel, but hindsight is really nothing new for anyone. Things happen, it sucks, we get over it and we try to move on.

( By now you know what this is about. This Is Cut because honestly most people are done with this. They do not want to go through the facts again. I am one of those people. Sitting here and writing this out was not what I wanted to do at all. But here it is because something needed to be said to set my record straight.Collapse )

( Setting Straight a few RumorsCollapse )

So you want to know what IRONIC is? It's when you put up a question in a meme for one of your muses asking if you'd rather be blissfully ignorant or painfully aware and it actually be something you should be asking yourself! Ironic is hearing that someone is trying to figure out how something they said got out and thinking to yourself, 'Hey self give them that link you always give people when they think they might have a friend using their flist... you know self? The Manage Logins link!' THEN when you open the page you realize...

Oh shit. It's you.

There's this moment where you try to think of all the different places you might have logged into your journal before you start doing the IP tracker. Then you don't want to look them up because you don't want to know who the hell did that to you. So you use some kind of half cracked logic where you think I'll just go through process of elimination and see which ones are from work addresses and maybe its because we have the fancy network at work! So you log into an account you know you've logged into at work to find that there are the same IP addresses and you feel relief... but then not so much because you still don't know why there are so many of them. So you log into another journal you know you logged into at work but... isn't one that a lot of people know about just yet... and realize that the IPs aren't in those... at all. Which then OF course finally makes you whip out the IP tracker and then you just... hurt.

You hurt because you realize not only has this person logged into your personal account since who knows when since the manage logins only goes back a month, and the other IP is there... a month ago, but they've logged into your RP journals too. You hurt because while you've been trying to stay out of things they've offered support and now you're wondering why. You hurt because you realize that the dates they've checked your other journals... just happen to coincide with the dates on fictional awards that you've voted on. You hurt because the journals they've logged into are only the ones you voted with... and one that they thought you would because you mentioned it to them. You hurt because you've done things for them, without question or fail because you thought you were friends.

You hurt because you know it is too much effort to be anything else, because anything else just feels too IRONIC to even be worth mentioning.

What hurts the most? (besides the fact that I say/type that and I immediately think of my work going, "That was Rascall Flatts What Hurts the Most closing out another forty minute music marathon...) is that I don't like... get it. I don't understand what is the big deal that this person just HAD to see how my characters voted. I don't know if because I had one person vote for X and another person vote for Y that it should really make any difference. Are my FIVE votes going to really impact voting THAT MUCH? Hell I freaking voted for myself sometimes and then other muses voted against me which pretty much CANCEL my votes out anyway!

So this is me. I'm my own Mastercard commercial. Because honestly it's the only way for me to even find any humor in this at all.

One Hacked Personal LJ.... cost? One friend's trust.
Six Hacked RolePlaying Livejournals.... cost? Anonymity.
58 passwords changed in one night?.... pain in the ass Priceless.

I did have the IP addresses up because I admit I was feeling VERY violated and just wanted to react, I will admit it was bold of me, but so were the actions put onto me. I took the IPs off my post because there are a lot and I'm still all bitter and pissed off and out of those on my ELITE list of only 60 friends? I would bet that only 10 actually could sort out anything.

Also those who are so damn curious of how I voted for the Tammy's? I might post my votes up in the journals because at this point? I don't really give a fuck.

comments screened because I love pity... no because if people want to talk to me about it that's fine or whatever but I'm the only one in the world that has this password now, and I won't be making the mistake of giving it out ever again, even in DIRE emergencies.

Per prettybutt who said, "OMG i'll be on in two minutes, write me something dirty in the meantime"
