I was baptized tonight.

This one is going to be short because I’m not feeling well (nasty sore throat and a bit of a fever). This post is dedicated to geekiness. I am considering getting one of these to replace my current Kensington Turbo Mouse, which is an older ADB model connected through an ADB-USB adapter which sometimes flakes out and stops doing it’s job, forcing me to rely on a conventional mouse.
In other news, this past weekend I got my MediaMVP working. This involved cross-compiling a kernel (compiled a PowerPC kernel on x86) and setting up netboot (using TFTP and DHCP of course). The how-to I followed (more-or-less) is here.
Now, off to bed to get some sleep. Hopefully I don’t feel this way tomorrow.
Today was fairly productive. I managed to remove XFree86 from my FreeBSD box, being as it doesn’t have a monitor hooked to it and doesn’t really need X. I made several attempts at creating an HREF track in a QuickTime clip, but haven’t been successful yet.
While not really “productive”, I rebooted the mythtv box since the backend had crashed during the recording of the Happy Days reunion the other night (didn’t discover this until we got all sorts of errors trying to view stuff on the web interface today).
This afternoon I did my taxes and got those filed. Yay! I am in the middle of updating software that isn’t quite up-to-date on the server (and trying to eliminate stuff I don’t need in the process).
Tonight Liz and I went across the river for clothes shopping for her… she needs to expand her wardrobe for work. Fun stuff. We then went to Best Buy where I got to spend a gift card. I picked up:
Falling Down
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
History of the World (Mel Brooks)
The Village
After that, we went to Borders, where I picked up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Then we went to McD’s for food and then home. Fun day, eh? We didn’t go outside much like we had intented to, but that’s okay I think. Tomorrow we start church membership classes, which should be interesting.
