So it was supposed to be a fun little project - Compusa had a sale on a PVR card, and what could be simpler than installing MythTV? Linux Uber Alles, and all that. Shit, I'd have it all set up in time to watch the Superbowl, no problem.
So anyways, here we are, a little over a month later, and I've got everything almost done, really, except that I probably need to get better video card because the one I have won't record at 720x480 and therefore The Office looks bizarre when I dump it to DVD and it's louder than than I want it to be so I'll need a new "silent" power supply and a "quiet" cpu fan and well, at least I'm having fun right? Not like those poor bastards who just have to get by with using their tivos.
So that's why I haven't written anything since January - I've been busy, honest.
Well, that and I haven't really had anything to say. Nothing. Zip, nada, nichts. Empty. So empty of ideas and inspiration that the "blank white page" metaphor can't capture the enormity of it all - we've moved into the sort of emptyness that can only be described in comparison to Dick Cheney's soul.
I haven't even been able to muster the minimal effort required to mock Cal Thomas, and that's easier than clubbing baby seals, if not nearly as much fun.
And now, when it comes right down to it, I still don't have anything to say. Isn't that sad? All sorts of fucked up shit in the world and all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say "eh. oh well. In the long run we're all dead anyways."
I guess I'll see if there's anything to watch on the computer....
