2008 has been a lot of changes for me. I graduated, I started a real job, and moved out of state. Can 2009 bring as exciting changes as 2008? I hope so.

I bought a new computer. And I love it. I still have my laptop as my primary machine, but I got tired of crappy DVR boxes from Comcast and Cox. So I bought a Dell Studio Slim Desktop PC. I have it hooked up to my Samsung PN50A550 (which I also love). Its perfect as a Windows Media Center computer. It has HDMI outputs on the back, and looks really nice in a horizontal positions. (Please no wise-cracks.) I added a Hauppauge TV Tuner Card which works great as well.

Speaking of my laptop, I just realized I never finished the tale of my ordeal. They sent a tech out to my house to install a new motherboard, CPU, and video card. The heat-sink for the video card wasn't even screwed down. So it works a lot better after that work has been done. It still overheats though if I don't have it on my cooling pad. The graphics will start getting corrupted, then programs will start crashing, and then it will blue screen. *sigh*

Anyways, sometime soon I will finish updating the rest of the site to use Smarty more extensively. (I have already started and in the process left some of the site unusable, oops.)

C# is a fun language to play around with.

Goodnight
