Been awhile…
Been awhile since I last posted. Not too much going on at the moment. I’ve been spending a lot of time with Andrea. She’s started working on a scrapbook of our trip with her parents to NYC last August. She’s done two pages so far, and I think it’s looking pretty good. Speaking of trips, I finally broke down and bought a scanner to digitize Matt’s pictures from our trip to Europe. I’ve got a few sets of them scanned so far, and have stuck them in my gallery. I’ve got 3 or 4 sets left to do, but it shouldn’t take me too much longer.
In random computer project news, I ended up ordering the TV-out card for the motherboard in the HTPC. It seems like people are having much better luck doing TV-out with the nVidia drivers than the open source Matrox stuff. Matrox supplies binary drivers for X windows as well, but they don’t allow overscan on the TV output, which is required to fill the screen. Also, the hard drive in my laptop has been acting up. It starts making a clicking noise after a while, then eventually just stops spinning. Been playing email ping-pong with Sony about it, hopefully I can get a replacement drive out of them. In the mean time, I’ve ordered a replacement drive from newegg, which should be here tomorrow or Thursday. Fun fun fun.
This upcoming weekend is FoRLAN 8, up in Lewiston, ME again, same location as last time. Should be fun. I’m going to be heading up on Friday morning, hopefully getting to the site around noon. A full weekend of nothing but games…. wheee!
