Windows 7 Beta 1 Upgrade Complete
Posted by clifgriffin in Technology on January 9th, 2009
As of a few minutes ago I finished haphazardly upgrading my HTPC to Windows 7 Beta 1 (Build 7000). The short story is that things went smoothly with very few exceptions.
Details to follow tomorrow/later today…possibly even with videos, just like last time.
I Can’t Find A Screw Driver
Posted by clifgriffin in Personal on July 18th, 2007
I can’t find a screw driver. Philips, flat-head, or otherwise.
And just why would I need a screw driver, you ask?
Well, I will answer that question. You see, my life is not complete without many hobbies and trivial pursuits to keep things interesting. So I invent ways to spend too much money on toys. The toy of this month is a media center.
What is a media center? A media center is a computer that is built solely (or primarily) to be used for playing media, whether it be TV, DVD, music, or photos. I have decided that I do not use my desktop computer often enough to justify just letting it sit in the corner. It is relatively powerful and it would be a shame to let it waste.
Thus, I bought a media center case that looks quite like a DTS (audio receiver), and an HD card. (HDTV, baby).
But I can’t put it together, because I can’t find a screw driver.
And I’m too tired to go somewhere that has one.
And it’s just as well, I’d probably break something in my tired stuper.
Alas, I go to read my book, Catch 22.
Love,
Clifton
