Good weekend, this one. On Saturday a bunch of old Uni pals came over for our annual fake Christmas day. This involved plenty of food, drink, a game of Trivial Pursuit (in which the female of the species was shown up as the weaker player), and some Christmas presents....

Well, well, well. Today I am proud to announce that the final major chunk of the MythTV puzzle, TV out, is working. Freedom fighters among you will be disappointed to learn that I resorted to the proprietary ATI driver, but from what I can tell, this is the easiest...

Sooz was away last night to attend a BBC training course today, so I descended into full pants-and-chinese-food mode and spent the entire evening hacking on MythTV. The latest major win is that audio in both TV and DVD now works. Those of you who are trying to get TV...
