So? Can you tell what is different? No, I didn’t color my hair (well,
I did, but that was last week, and the color Jeff used didn’t really take
all that much). No, I did not whiten my teeth, although I want to. Give up? Well,
I am posting this from my lovely linux
laptop! Yes, I understand your excitement too.
I am actually in the process of installing
fedora on a spare computer I had just sitting around. Once I get it all
installed, I plan on giving MythTV a try. I am
currently evaluating SageTV and SnapStream’s
BeyondTV. I currently
have SageTV and BeyondTV running on my windows box. They seem alright, although
both of their interfaces seem to appear sluggish at times. The box has over
a gig of memory, so I would expect a little bit better response from the programs.
Update: I’ve also just installed
Media Portal. I have not run it yet,
but the interface seems to respond a bit smoother than the previously mentioned two.
Plus this one is
My goal of it all is to create a computer based
PVR that I can stream shows from
and watch them on my desktop. I have a
WINTV-Plus
card installed. The card comes with a remote (sweet!), but I have yet to get it
working with the system. *sigh* Back to Google
I go.
Anyway, as I know you are and will be on the edge of your seat until you find out
how it all goes, I shall keep you posted. Thank me.
Breaking away from the computers for a bit this weekend, I was able to get
out to Farrington Point
today on the kayak. It was beautiful out. The water was calm and the area was very
peaceful. There were at least a dozen other kayaks launching from the same area. I plan
on picking Talon up early tomorrow morning so we can launch from there. I don’t know who
enjoys it more, him or me? He gets excited just going, and I love being able to
take him out and do things like that. It’s a ton of fun, and I hope it gives him
some fond memories to look back on when he is older. I know it will me.
Well, that is it for me. I’m out. Later.
