I am moving. But, I haven’t said to where exactly. Well, that’s mostly because I haven’t found a place. Anyone that has moved knows the pain of finding a new place to live. My troubles are much worse. See, one of the killer benefits of the Sacramento Valley versus the Bay Area is a little company […]
Monday, I have a private conference call with the Media Center team at Microsoft. And, there aren’t really any limits on what I can ask… and hopefully, get answered. So, I’ll turn to you. What would you ask the team behind Windows Media Center? Post your questions in the comments, and I’ll try to get […]
Microsoft today formally announced TV Pack 2008 for Windows Media Center, inside of Windows Vista. And, they also said you can’t have it. If you want the benefits, like ClearQAM (that’s unencrypted digital cable), or the ability to add an unlimited amount of tuners (of any combination)… Microsoft appears to be directing you to buy […]
I’ll be at LinuxWorld 2008 most of this week. I’ve just posted the announcement over at the PhoneNews.com Blog. Why am I posting this here? Well, if you’ve got something cool to show off Linux-wise, or if you just want to hear what I think of the pros… and cons… of all-things-Tux, this would probably […]
Odd question, I know. Let me tell you the story… A long time ago, a certain web site had hidden slander forums. This was a childish, clickish group of idiots that were given special treatment, and hidden message boards. The admins of the site refused to acknowledge that they existed. Reason being, members were clickishly-childishly […]
I’m just wrapping up an all-day restoration of my MacBook Pro… complete with clean install of Leopard. I was at a lunch the day before, talking up how my MacBook Pro has been running without a hitch, while everyone else was complaining about MacBook failures. I was asking for it… and boy did I get […]
I have to admit, I don’t go to Starbucks as much as I used to. Between Java One in my Senseo, and McDonalds getting coffee right (and then getting lattes right)… Starbucks was losing my business. Please, spare your Starbucks is Evil comments. They’re a business like any other. But, they weren’t changing with the […]
If you have HD direct feeds of Sega Lindbergh (or even more elusive, Europa-R), I’m willing to pay top dollar for them. HoTD 4, After Burner Climax, and Sega Rally 3 are mostly what I’m after. Obviously, you’d probably have to work for Sega to have access to this, it’s not something they put on […]
First, I want to apologize for being half-away the past week. I’ve been hard at work planning a big move for myself, which will have some big pay-offs for MechaWorks as a whole. I don’t want to touch on those just yet, as the eggs haven’t hatched yet. But, it certainly is exciting… albit it […]
Some of you may be wondering if TiVo Suggestions (where the TiVo records, using free space, shows it things you might like), are bought and paid for. The main reason for this is that when there is a movie in theaters, you may get a bunch of related content from a TV show tied to […]
