Yup, another weekend come and gone. This one was fairly busy. On Saturday, I managed to get the HTPC up and running in the entertainment center. I was having some issues with the onboard ethernet, but it fixed itself once I disabled ACPI. I’ve also gotten the framebuffer TV out stuff working, but it still needs some adjustment to make it look decent. Hopefully I’ll spend some time with it over the next couple of days and get it to my liking.

Saturday afternoon, Matt and I went to see 28 Days Later…, which is kindof an odd little zombie movie. Not as much random zombie-related horror as I was expecting, but it was still a fun movie to watch. It’s rather refreshing to go see a movie that doesn’t rely on billion dollar special effects every 10 seconds to keep things interesting. Probably not a must see movie, but definitly worth a rental.

After that we wandered around for a bit, and ended up grabbing Matt’s hard drives out of his system, taking them to Manchester, and hooking them up to my PC so I could swipe a bunch of his music and stuff. While waiting for that, we broke out the old THPS3.

On Sunday, Matt and I went out to Newmarket so I could fix one of SimPro’s installations out there. Once again the Belkin router that we’re tapping off of for Internet access decided to forget it’s port forwarding settings. I’m not sure why it keeps doing it, but it’s getting annoying. We were also wardriving for the trip out there. Picked up a decent amount of stuff, which I have mapped.

After getting back, Matt and I parted ways, and I picked up Andrea to go see a movie. We ended up seeing The Italian Job, which was pretty good. Again, not a great movie, but I thought it was fun to watch. Not really all that much to say about it though. Afterwards, I took Andrea home, then wandered home to fiddle with my computers for a little while before heading off to bed.

I had a much better posting written up yesterday, but Windows crashed on me, and I can’t remember half of what I wrote. Ah well.
