MythTV…again

Not a day goes by when I stop dreaming of building a MythTV box. I think I have been a closet home entertainment freak for a few years now. I remember when I lived at home, I would spend hours trying to get optimal speaker placement with my shitty old speakers that I...

Music, Linspire and birthdays

Nice relaxing weekend. I started work on my dedicated music site. I have been wanting to separate out my music collection from jonobacon.com and move it to somewhere else to make it a little more than just a section on my existing website. Luckily, much of the...

Sacraficial Life

For those of you with a penchant for distorted guitars, double bass drumming and growly vocals, you should stop what you are doing right now and go and listen to my new tune, Sacraficial Life.

Yesterday I had a meeting with Jake Stride from Senokian about Enterprise Groupware Server. EGS is going to be released soon and it is a PHP based CRM and project tracking tool. It competes with the likes of SugarCRM and I am really impressed with it. Jake and his...

Hot Dog

You know, Banger is cool. In fact, sometimes he is so cool, he looks good enough to eat: Today Sooz and I took it easy. I played some guitar, watched some TV and hacked on my new site. Don’t you just love time off? 🙂 Still having a few server troubles. We are...

Bugfix and upgrade

It seems my first release of the XAMPP Control Panel had a bug in it. Thanks to oris for reporting it. The bug assumed that a GConf key was set that stores the XAMPP path location. This prevented it from running. I have fixed the code and released a bugfix release,...
