Finally got my HTPC working correctly. I had to swap out some video cards between PCs in the house, now it seems to be working ok. Picked up a bit of extra speed since I moved the web server to…

I've used iTunes to purchase a couple of songs (actually a few days ago), and it is working very well. Think I may stick with it. On the HTPC stuff, something is wrong with my damn server, not sure what…
I've taken to using Beyond Media and Beyond TV on my HTPC, and it kicks ass. Basically all of the functions of Tivo. I am using beta versions of both of these programs, but they are working very well. Now…
After eight months, we have the house to ourselves again. It's very weird. We are all going to miss Sandi and Bryce, but it will be kind of nice to have the space again….
Guess I didn't take the time to think about what a busy man Johnny Isakson probably is. He DID respond to my email, this morning, and though it COULD be a canned answer, or one from a staffer, I don't…
I've spent alot of time over the last couple of weeks working on the HTPC. Main programs are there. Beyond TV Beta, which I am also using for videos, rather than Beyond Media. Beyond Media has some issues and will…
Came across this message on the Yahoo Fairtax list that I subscribe to and thought I should include it here. My apologies to the author if you did not want it reproduced (tough shit in other words): There is one…
Need spellchecker. I've had several frosty beverages this evening and am quite toasty. Hope I don't have to go in to work, hehe….

Finally gor got my HTPC where it will change the cable box channel itself when I change the channel on my PVC software. Had to do it a roundabout way using three different programs, but hey, it works. That will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just set my PC up to record the closing ceremonies Sunday night. Will have to set up a couple more recordings for today to make sure that it is working properly though.
Did a couple of test runs on the recording stuff yesterday. I won’t say that it worked flawlessly, but it was pretty damn close. Recorded Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee, a classic if there ever was one. My 15[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve been fooling with trying to find a good program to backup my DVDs for quite awhile. The only thing I am interested in is the movie itself. I don’t particularly give a shit about the menus or other interactive[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I figured that since I only want the movies themselves off of dvd, I will just hook the dvd player into the s-video on my TV Tuner and just record them with BTV. Such a simple solution, fuck this ripping[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Came across this little story at boortz.com:
BUSH … NO CHAMPION OF FREE SPEECH
But then again neither is John Kerry.
President Bush has enlisted the services of Arizona’s Saintly Senator John McCain to “go after” the so-called 527 groups, that is the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, Moveon.org, etc. The President wants to shut them down. That’s right, he wants to take away their (and by extension, your) right to free speech. Welcome to The United States of America in 2004.
Neal Boortz said something about this column yesterday on his Radio show, this is the first time I have had a chance to look at it. Explains very nicely the Fairtax Act in very simple terms.

Here is the entire bill known as HR 25(the Fairtax Act). It will take a few minutes to read, but I felt that it would be good to actually post the entire thing here.
The 2004 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremonies are on. Recording it for my wife. I watched the Regatta, and some of the Gymnastics, but that is about the only thing I was interested in.
That shit was even more than I could bear. It was on for something like four hours, don’t know when the actual ceremony was, but the rest was just frigging boring.
Election day draws nigh, and I am starting to see more and more bullshit from both of the major parties. Kelley, over here, brought up a good point. This is going to be the biggest goat-fuck we have seen for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Not. It’s been a long couple of days. Stayed up too late Saturday evening, then worked 12 hours Sunday. Stephanie is in class now on Monday and Tuesday nights until 8:30 or so, have the kids, getting ready to fix[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
