Custom PVR/DVR

November 26th, 2006

(I have to snap out of that last one before I go to bed, or it’ll give the NyQuil something to make really creepy dreams about.) Atox has reconfigured his media PC with a Hauppauge tuner card and Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) with MythTV. It’s amazing, and I’ve already ordered parts to build my own. [...]

Stilted Ruminations

November 26th, 2006

This may seem a little disjointed. I apologize if it is; I’m endeavoring to keep it orderly, but there are several opportunities for branching here and I’m not certain where they lead. It’s basically things that have come into my head over the last couple of days. Some of it is very difficult to put [...]

Up Around the Bend

November 25th, 2006

Thursday was ups and downs. Even Nashville closes for Thanksgiving. Home was… alright. Could have been better. There are a lot of feelings there that haven’t been resolved. Seeing S. always hurts more than I expect. I’m beginning to suspect that “Yeah, we work Friday after Thanksgiving” is a joke played on the newer employees. [...]

Thanksgiving

November 23rd, 2006

I spent the morning rolling over and going back to sleep. I just started a load of laundry; going to try to get at least three loads done before I head to Cookeville. Have to work tomorrow. Going to mom’s for Thanksgiving dinner. I waffled on it quite a bit. There will be awkward moments. [...]

Skimping

November 16th, 2006

It’s been a week of ups and downs. The usual thing. I got to this too late tonight to post anything approaching insightful, and I was torn between posting something short and apologetic, or simply posting nothing at all–but evidently, I have made a decision. Work is a source of anxiety. My friends are incredible. [...]

Busy Week and End

November 10th, 2006

I went to Cookeville Tuesday to have some blood drawn (regular test, nothing unusual) and to vote and to drop some things off with S. The blood-drawing went better than usual; I was anxious about it, but didn’t get dizzy or nauseous or anything. While in line to vote, two plainly-dressed guys came in and [...]

Short Weekend

November 5th, 2006

Bill and Pam’s party was fun. It was nice seeing the gang again. With the exception of overdoing it on the carrots, it was a great evening. Talked to S. a little bit after leaving Cookeville, though. She was up at 2am because she’s got a cold and was having trouble sleeping. I was fine [...]
