I think my Dish DVR is gonna make me watch more TV. I normally don’t watch some shows I would like to because I am not home. Welcome timeshifting in digital quality. I’ve already recorded a few shows, and I’m gonna set it up to record the Sopranos weekly as well as a few other HBO shows. I’ve also got it scheduled to grab the Dave Chappell and John Leguizamo comedy specials. This is gonna rock. The HD package looks pretty good as well, even though we don’t have a HD TV yet. We have it on our bigscreen which is 900 lines of resolution, so it looks like DVD quality or better. Plus most of the channels look 10x better than Charter’s cruddy analog or “digital” cable. Viva la Dish!

Turn Table Tourture
DJ Rectangle’s Turn Table Torture… yea I know it’s old, but I’ve been listening to it a ton lately, and I have to say it’s a great mix-tape cd.

RNEWS
Wow… I’m impressed. I never really got into news aggrigators before, because mainly, I’m at work or school and I get out of synch. Not anymore! Rnews probably isn’t new to most of you, but to me it’s new, and very useful. I’ve set this up today and started adding feeds to it, set it as my homepage at work, and I’m going to do the same at home and school. Wow… this is really cool. I’ll show it to some other people as well, see if they find it usefull too.

New track
I’ve been playing with GarageBand and this is my first track created totally in GarageBand. I’m thinking of taking some of my older tracks, and remixing them in GarageBand with some new sounds. That might take a while tho… but hopefully I can have them done for the relaunch of mp3.com under the C-Net brand.

rambling
Got the bike out today. Was a nice day for a ride. Day 4 of no IRC is going well, at least I haven’t went crazy yet. I’m bored, if you can’t tell, I just thought I’d write some shit on here. Safari is pimp. I now need a new monitor for the mac, and maybe a pro-keyboard & mouse setup. This oldschool ADB keyboard is kinda cruddy.

G4 550
Boom… the freebie frankenmac project is done. The free blue & white chasis I got from work, with a new (used) G3 Yosemite logic board, two sticks of 256meg ram from OWC, a Radeon 7000, and a G4 550 upgrade processor. I still had a few lockup issues, I don’t know if it was the old G3 processor which may have been damaged, OR the zip drive in this chasis. I disabled the zip drive cable connection the same time I put the G4 in, so I’m not sure which one killed the freezes. Right now, I’m running iTunes to stress the system and test the stability.

Honing Techniques
Lyle emailed me this picture of a rendering he did of one of my wallpapers. I think it’s pretty sweet, and since he didn’t have the space, I’m posting it here. Feel free to download, the thumbnail links to a full-size 1280×1024 image.
