I'm not sure he says "table". I sometimes imagine he has repeated words we say, but there is no real sign that he's actually used a word to indicate something. He does a lot of pointing and vocalising "da" at the same time though. -Fruey Hi Mum,

This was quite jerky and slow when I tried to sneak a watch at work but it is much more even at home. The music brought back our two weeks with Nathan in August! He seemed to say "table" at one point too. Its a good idea to be able to see what he is up to and also Yasmina and you. See you have a new rug in the lounge! Funeral was yesterday, I spoke for a short while then back to 23 Pasture Road after the service. About 100 or so people there. Burial at the new annexe to the graveyard by Fearnhill but now next to the 2 Chimneys. Bit bleak, bulldozers and tractors still landscaping. Dave brought me an orchid round today whilst I was at work in memory and we took some tulips away yesterday as did everyone for planting in memory. Mark etc sent best wishes. Love Mum Lovely!

The video looks OK to me. At least the camera remained static, which is essential when filming sport unless you have a very good cameraman with good handheld or tripod technique. Sport is always worst served by digital compression techniques, because there are a lot of differences between each frame. This is especially true in team sports like volleyball where a lot of people will move from frame to frame. Tennis tends to suffer less, if the camera point is fixed. -Fruey Robbeh,

I play indoor volleyball in winter with the school. And Wilson was the best volleyball picture I could find. I've tried uploading some of my friend's clips of me playing volleyball, the quality is watchable but it looks like blobs jumping around rather than human forms playing a game. :D Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZIL3gWzMyE Yup it’s Wilson.

I'm not really sure about the YouTube conversion method, but they suggested preparing a clip at 320x240 in MPEG4 (DivX or XviD). I use XviD all the time for this kind of thing, so that's what I used. It's great because the film out of my camera takes up about 400Mb @ 640x480 whereas the XviD @ 320x240 takes about 40Mb, but it's just as "watchable" even if it's not as detailed as the original. -Fruey Hi Robbeh,
