Catching up on news, friends, and the world. Working on a thumbnail project now. Trying to see how I can get a JPG stream so that I can have dynamic JPGs on my site. Thumbnails of live images, to be exact, hiding behind my firewall.

In other news, for those that know me... I am still working on Italian. Trying to learn it as best I can. However, I was invited to learn Chinese. Hmm... well, there is a need here for that. We'll have to see.

I updated some of my links. I have a few friends (GASP) that have sites. Hope they don't mind my posting their links, but it seems that they are public. Let you know more later.

Updates

Ok, things have settled down. I hope my dad get's over his pneumonia soon, he's running out of things to do. I updated the colors of links in the blog. I don't know if people could see them. My GBPVR and MVP setup rocks. Here are some of the modules I've got running: Recording Of Course, so that I can record shows Weather We have basic cable, so we don't get the weather channel. This gives us local weather. Music Plays all the stored music to our stereo. Pics We have Gigs worth of pics. Now we can slideshow them to our TV. They aren't even on the GBPVR server, they're on the Linux Server! Web Music Streaming radio stations, so I can listen to my CT stations from PA! Caller ID I can see who's calling when I'm in the middle of a movie so I don't have to get up and check. Cinema I can see listings of what's playing at the local theaters. All of this on our TV, with one remote!!! Sweet!

Updates... at long last

Well, we certainly have had a lot going on, namely, we bought a house. Hadn't really been planning on it, but we saw it, we went for a showing, and the price was right, really really right. Once we signed the paperwork... (some poor tree gave it's life for all that paperwork) we had work to do. First paint... since we were going to pull out the carpets... we started with paint. Then the carport roof needed to be redone. We started out just doing the roofing, but when we got underneath, and saw how bad the wood was, we had to replace that too. Then we went back inside. We had to take the carpet out of the main floor... bedrooms, living room, bathroom, dining room. Underneath are hardwood floors. (Except for dining room and bathroom.) These had stains that needed to be sanded out... this turned into a 4 day project... with follow-up coats of polyurethane. After that was move in day. We had been taking boxes and small items, so all that was left were the larger pieces of furniture...
