I’ve finally moved this site to my dedicated server. What a huge freakin’ pain in the ass. I wasted hours migrating my configuration to the new Movable Type installation because Berkeley DB sucks and Six Apart still doesn’t have a utility to import / export an entire weblog. I tried TypeMover… it took a ton […]

Moving Day…
28Feb05Mmmm, Toasty
21Feb05Someone has mounted a Mac Mini to the back of their plasma television. I dunno about this person’s plasma, but mine puts out a metric assload of heat. Add a slice of cheese and some bread and a few hours later you should have a nice McMini Melt sandwich…

Ultimate HTPC Case?
18Feb05Scanning my bookmarks yesterday I came across A-Tech Fabrication’s HTPC cases. I’ve got no idea where that bookmark came from or how long it’s been there, but they have some rockin’ cases that are “machined from aircraft grade 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum alloy” — no pansy-ass stamped and folded materials on the inside of these monster […]
Sweet new iPaq phone
15Feb05Msmobiles has the skinny on the iPaq Mobile Messenger h6500, complete with comparison photos next to an Orange SPV C500 (SMT-5600, SP3i, etc) and a close-up of the keyboard. Supposedly due in April for €700 ($900).
Another shot fired in furtherance of the global conspiracy to bankrupt my vacation fund…
Snapshots
15Feb05It’s time for me to buy a new digital camera. Presently I have a Kodak DC280 that I purchased in early 2000. It was OK for it’s time, and under ideal outdoor lighting conditions it has taken pictures so good that I can scarcely believe it was me operating the camera, but… That’s not good […]
Monster LCD for Cheap?
14Feb05Dell’s site finally has official information on the upcoming Dell 2405FPW 24-inch Widescreen LCD monitor, due for release in March. It’ll have all the usual stuff from Dell’s DVI displays, plus two extra USB ports, Component video, and a “9-in-1″ memory card reader. Gizmodo reports that the rumour-mongers expect a roughly $1000 pricetag. Compare with […]
Mondaze
14Feb05Got to work this morning to find my LCD monitor no longer functioning properly — when first powered on, or whenever the graphics mode changed, it would flash the image for a second and go dark. This was the first LCD that I purchased, somewhere around 16 months ago. The good news is that the […]
Blogging From My TV
10Feb05First post from my television…
The tuners arrived this afternoon. Installation and configuration with Media Center was simple enough but I was a bit disappointed that Microsoft doesn’t provide a chance to verify that the correct cable line-up was selected. For my zip code there were seven or eight different line-ups from my cable company.
Looks like […]
