X-Mas List 2008

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I decided once again to post my X-Mas list online.  And here we go.

I am sure there are some other odds and ends that will be gracing this list over the next week or two when they  come to me.

Xbmc Goodness

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

So I finally modded my Xbox and installed Xbmc on it, and man I must say its sweet. I haven’t had much time to mess with it as of yet but from the time I spent toying around with the setup of things its a vast improvement and will make a great center piece to my entertainment center. More postings about this to come as soon as I have more time to mess with it.

Lame site and and Xbox to boot

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

I was starting to think that my site was getting little to no attention.  I hoped that if I were to update it to the new version of Wordpress it would spur my interest again … but yet all it has done is create 3-4 new posts all talking about an upgrade.  Not exactly what I call good times in the world of blogging.
After hearing Chase talk about his new fairly new Xbox setup with XBoxMediaCenter installed I was wanting to get an XBox and do the same.  And I think the stars might be aligned just right or something as Brian and I were talking the other day and he actually just picked up an XBox and is looking to sell it, even has the DVD remote which is a plus.  So after talking with him I was going to go to Vegas and get it this weekend, but I had forgotten this was the same weekend Alexis was coming to visit me for her spring break.  I have made other plans on getting the XBox though so I should have it Monday afternoon if all goes as planned.  From there I am planning on installing a new hard drive in it (120 gig) and installing XBoxMediaCenter, this will replace my MythTV Box that I recently created.  I have no plans on getting rid of the MythTV box but instead I am going to turn that into a Fileserver/Backend/Desktop and just stream all recordings to the XBox.  I am creating a new category on the site here for the XBox and will be posting updates to how the install goes and everything that I do to it.
