Work?!?!?!

Have u noticed that more time what u study in school isn’t what u end up doing in life?? Take look at some ppl u know and ask them what did they study at school… quite a few of them would have studied something vastly different then what theyare doing now. Why do i bring this up? Ive been delving into computers for more than 10years… if i’m honest with myself i haven’t really reached anywhere…. Now is it my fault or is it that i just don’t know the right ppl so i can land a decent job in the IT field?!?!

Whichever one it is it looks like i’ll be branching off… there is a family business that started a few months ago and it looks like my father really wants me to join in the action… If i told u i’m jumping for joy it would be a lie. WHAT i do seem to like is that I’ll be starting something different from PC’s. This hasn’t come ay even abetter time.. cause at my current job I am really getting disgusted with it, I’m tired of answering dumb ass questions and what for ppl who should have no business in front of a PC.
Ohh welll that is enough ranting for one morning… let me seee if i can go back to sleep.

Skype and Cisco ATA?!?!?1

Hey u know what would be cool?? If i could use my Cisco ATA186 with skype?!?! That woudl be great!!!! Don;t think it is possible though since Skype is proprietary and a peer-2-peer like service.
I could dream thgouh can’t I?

No Title

Can’t think of a flashy title.. so i thought No Title would suffice.

This past few week have been uneventful.. same shit just different day. I know i haven’t written in this blog for some time just couldn’t bother really. maybe it can be theraputic to keep writing in so i guess i will.

Profound has finally recieved his so-called ‘iPod killer’ the Zen Vision:M….. i was about to bash it and say it’s another ipod wanna be but i must give it probs while i look on the specs….

• WMV (320×240/700kbps and 320×240/436kbps MPEG4 and DivX 4/5, XviD (720×480/3Mbps and 640×480/2Mbps recommendation)
• MPEG2 (640×480/2.5Mbps and 640×480/2Mbps
• MPEG1 (640×480/1.15Mbps and 352×288/1.15Mbps
• Motion-JPEG (640×480/2.5Mbps)

As i’m writing this i’m here thinking about selling my 60Gb 4Gen ipod to get a Zen .. call me copy cat but it is nice to have somethign that would play divx/xvid.
I must say at first i was happy with BUT every has a mp3/video player now…. i feel left out. Hmmmmmm US $329 x JA $65 = JA $21,385.00 ouch that is alot of money…. BUT is it really worth it?
I might can tell u one of these days soon.

As i see what i wrote about it should be mp3 player showdown :d

Dammit!!!!

Yea i got my Hauppauge 150 working on my linux box BUT the true ablity to work as a PVR jsut not working out
The channel listings alone will kill me…. the only place i can get listings for my cable company, Logic One, is tvguide.com. Alas there are no grabbers to take the listing info from the site. Another thing that has halted my little project is that even WHEN, i won’t say if, i do get teh channel listings since i have to use a cable box it’s almost useless to me…The PC can’t change the channel on the cable box to the required channel u want to record. the ONLY way i can see it workign is that u set the cable box to go to the station then u have ur tv card set to record at the deigned time.

Enuff of that… i can’t bother with it right now.
This is the box i want to fix up for my medai PC.. be it MythTV or Media Center.

As you can see it is a small PC.. not as small as my SlimBay but still small with lots of features…. BUT i can’t seem to find a P4 478Pin 400Mhz FBS proccessor ( So for right now i just have this box laying here waiting on a CPU… what a waste
