Promises, Promises

Okay, I was going to lie to all of you and pre-date this entry. But then I realized that it would wrong to do so. Then I realized I really didn't care that much about making you goobers happy, so I'm just posting and forgetting. I'm joking, of course, Apolgies for not posting in so long.

Not much to update on the weight loss front. I've lost 46.6 pounds to date. I have to adjust my workout schedule a bit. Okay, maybe not. I have to scap it all together and come up with something new. And get my own keyfob. And wake up early enough to go before work. I'll be trying that this week. Wish me luck.

I'm going to start getting the componants for my media center a couple pieces at a time with the next paycheck. Basically, I'm building a small-formfactor PC (read: little sexy case) with PVR functionality. It'll provide TiVo-like functionality, DVD Video and 24-bit Audio playback and be a media-frontend for things on my Linux box, like downloaded TV shows and my ripped audio files.

Yes, my Linux box can do most of this, but I want a standalone device that'll output to my TV. I'm getting tired of watching Doctor Who on my 17" monitor. It'll have to be Windows-based because nobody appears to be interested in writing something like DeCSS for DVD-Audio, and I don't know jack about that kind of programming. I can't give up listening to Pet Sounds. Of course, the second someone does write what I'm looking for, goodbye Windows, hello KnopMyth. No selling out here :)

Saw Lords of Dogtown last week. Fun flick. Going to check out Melinda and Melinda tomorrow. I love living ten minutes away from a $2 theatre.

I need to get new cooling equipment for my Linux box. It's waaaay too hot for NY in June. I blame people who drive SUVs. If you're driving an SUV, you can fornicate yourself with a pointed stick. Hard.

Well, that's enough rambling and hostility for one day. I'll be back eventually.
