I received the Kworld 115 Tuner on Tuesday. I tried to use this guide on mythTV’s wiki, but that alone didn’t give me everything I needed. Instead, if you follow my path and buy this card and run ubuntu, start here and follow the first 4 steps (ignore the modprobe step) for the ATI HDTV [...]

Current Mood: nerdyI’ve been rambling a lot lately about MythTV, which is an open source project that aims for something akin to Microsoft’s Media Center application for Windows XP (MCE edition) and for Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. But it is a lot more than that, with an amazingly flexible client / server architecture. [...]
Yes, that is right ladies and gentleman, after many years of Intel bashing, and hating them because they are the microsoft of the hardware world, I am going to jump camps unless AMD pulls something amazing out of their ass. ( Nerdy explanation of why I was an AMD fanboy ) So, now I like intel again, [...]
I’ve just started this super-nerdy project and I need some advice from my more linux-literate friends. ( Don’t read if you don’t want to be nerded out ) In other news, Kyle and Ellen are going to be here this weekend, and Saturday Lauren is having a girls night, and I’m taking Kyle out to do something [...]
Since no one seemed really interested in my Computers 101 idea from before, I’m just going to go ahead working on my project in my spare time. But, Josh 3 seemed interested in taking a look at how Linux installs and what-not, so tonight I’m planning on using a little of my free time to [...]
I applied for Googles Adsense program yesterday, got accepted, and now I’m in the process of augmenting my WordPress theme to add Googles little text-only adds to the sidbar of my page. ( Need Ideas for what to blog about )
I have parts laying around for somewhere from 2 to 4 computers at my house right now, and as soon as I get a case from a guy at work I’m going to build them up. I was wondering if it would remotely interest anyone if I turned that into a little info session. I [...]
I’m writing a batchfile, and I can’t seem to get it to do exactly what I want. I’m taking a directory of files, and running all the .wav files through LAME and spitting out mp3′s with the correct encoding settings. I’m only writing the batch file because stupid winLame stopped giving me options to control [...]
Yes, With the annoucement of the MacBook Pro I am contimplating turning over to the dark side of the PC Universe. I’m mean, it is just so sexy, and I can dual-boot windows or OS X or any flavor of X86 linux I want. On a more serious note, I just want to run down [...]
I’ll spare the non-technical types, and just beg for help from people better than me with Linux. ( Getting email to work ) Oh yes, and GO BEARS!!!!! According to Seth, Rex Grossman is the touchdown Jesus. I had to agree with him. I think the bears have found their new starting quarterback who will get us [...]
I spent some time over the last week or so checking out the forums on Zimbra’s website, trying to iron out some kinks that were preventing a few of the components from starting up. Well yesterday I fixed the last one, and this thing started to fire on all cylinders…or at least it wanted to [...]
Have you ever had one of those times where someone says something to you and it starts your head to flying around like some kind of rollercoaster on crack. Well, in an effort to still my head I will not write about anything that is making it go crazy today and focus on something entirely [...]
