Very funny clip from Robin Williams. Definitely NOT safe for work or around children.

I’ve taken up golf again after not swinging a club in over 15 years. I used to play on the weekends and during the summer back when I was in high school but then college and working full time got in the way so I wound up losing interest. Over the summer, we would have putting competitions at work and they got me interested in it again. My uncle made me a set of clubs and I went out a few weeks ago and played my first round in a long time. I planned on playing a full 18 holes but stopped after 9 because I was getting tired and frustrated. I hope to work on some things over the winter so I can play all 18 holes. I have a page setup which is going to show my last 20 rounds as soon as I figure out why the plugin isn’t working properly.

A brought a PC home from work a few months ago that I planned on using as a MythTV frontend. I tried installing Mythbuntu on it because I wanted to see how different it was from MythDora but Mythbuntu didn’t seem to like the onboard video nor the add-in card I had. I loaded MythDora onto the hard drive successfully. After I built the MythTV backend, I had thought about building a frontend to go with it. When I got the PC from work, I anticipated turning it into a frontend that could be connected to the main TV in the house. After I was forced to reinstall MythTV onto a new hard drive in the backend, I started looking into getting the frontend up and running. I finally got the frontend to see the database on the backend. After playing around with the hostname settings, I am now able to get the video to stream over the network so I can watch recordings and live TV.
I also just found an app that’ll allow me to use my eMac as a MythTV frontend.

Eventually, I would like to replace this frontend with an HTPC that becomes part of my home entertainment center and maybe build a few others for other rooms in the house. I’d also like to increase the storage on the backend to a couple of terabytes so that I can store all my TV recordings, music, and photos, along with ripping my entire DVD collection so I can watch any movie from anywhere in the house.

The hard drive inside my MythTV server crashed on Thanksgiving morning. The database that stored all the information about everything I’ve recorded was lost so I had to purchase a new hard drive and format the 500GB hard drive I’m using and start from scratch. I plan on figuring out a way to automatically have the MythTV box backup the database, compress it, and email it to my GMail account so I have a copy of it.
