concert tracking

I’d love for this (or something like it) to exist in Portland…

what’s up lately

1) Started to rip all my CDs, now that iTunes 6.0.2 fixes the crashes I was seeing. I should’ve done this a long time ago, so I guess it’s just a responsibility that comes with owning music. 🙂

2) Joined a gym. Playing some racketball.

3) Waiting for it to stop raining.

4) On Monday, I realized I had written code in 4 languages (C, Python, Java, Javascript) in the previous 24 hours, woah.

5) Mac and cheese is yummy.

Music Update

Check it out, four new songs.

TiVo

Wow, I am a bit late to the Tivo-hacking party.

I started looking at it today because I’d really like to get rid of the landline, and pretty much the only reason I am tied to it is the DSL and Tivo. I Googled a bit for wireless upgrades and saw the adapter that 9thtee.com is selling…hmm…you need to add your own PRISM2/2.5 wireless card. Looked on ebay and Froogle, and they were running an extra $60. That plus the $70 for the adapter and I might as well get a new Tivo…but mine has lifetime sub…oh hell I just won’t bother.

[hours pass]

HOLY SHIT, this old Linksys WPC11 card I have sitting *on my desk* is PRISM2! Duuh!

So I’ve ordered the adapter thingie. Once I get Tivo updating over the net, that gives me (along with moving my little laptop server to Jen’s or a colo) the freedom to get the cheap no-static-ip broadband if I want, and get rid of the landline!

I also registered gloof.com. No idea why. It seems I will spend time doing almost anything to put off Christmas shopping…

74

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

Oh damn I got tagged!!
