Carol and I are starting to look for a house to move into. Given our jobs, we need high speed internet access wherever we move. So, when we have a look at a potential house, we check to see if DSL is available. Today, we decided to look into cable. Locally, that means Suddenlink. So, [...]

You may have noticed that the blog and everything else was down for a few days this week. If you did, you may have wondered what happened. Did we close? Obviously not. But since you’re curious enough to have read this far, I’ll lay it all out for you. Even though this blog is run [...]

If you follow the instructions to integrate XM Radio Online with MythTV, you need to select “low” for the bandwidth setting. Some channels (like Flight 26) will throw a 401 error if you try to stream them on high. Selecting “low” doesn’t make much of a difference with TV speakers.

Long time readers will know that I don’t brook much from Cindy Sheehan. She not only let her grief allow her to be manipulated by others for political gain, but she participated in that willingly.
