04MaySpring has some redeeming qualities

Normally, I am the first one to jump on the “I hate spring” bandwagon. I have horrible allergies, and the only time of year when I am able to kinda breath through my nose is winter. If there is some form of vegetation alive, I am unable to breathe.

However, it is sometimes worth it.

30AprI’m all high class and sh*t

My wife and I were lucky enough to be gifted a 1/2 seasons worth of tickets to the Cincinnati Symphonic Orchestra. We really love going to these shows. Not only is dinner included in the ticket price, but it brings me back to my high school days, when I would wail away with some Holst on my baritone horn.

Sadly, tonight is the last night of our season. We would love to purchase tickets for next year, but they are kinda damn asspensive. I guess we are doomed to live the life of the rest of you common folk. At least I got to pretend like I was a fancy gentleman for a little while.

29AprThis is a little much…

One of my instructors at DAAP, @artiekuhn, had told us that scores in a game should always be large enough to make the player feel like they are accomplishing something. I agree.. getting +100 every time you kill a bad guy is much more rewarding than getting +1.

The scoring system in Dishwasher: Dead Samurai takes this notion to the extreme:

crazy dishwasher score

26AprShopping list for tyhe MythTv backend

This was the final parts list for my new MythTv server. It will house 2 HVR-1600 capture cards, which will allow me to get 2 analog captures and 2 Over-the-air HD captures.

The total cost was a little more than I was hoping, but I payed to futureproof the machine. This will have much more power than i will need right away, but it will need to be able to serve up to three frontends in the future. I figured it would be better to pay more now for less headache in the future.

Apparently if I was feeling super adventurous, I could try to hack the bios for the processor and unlock the dormant 2 cores, turning it in to a quad-core machine, but I doubt I will be getting that crazy.
