My Point Exactly!



I was trying to explain this to Angela and Chris today. This comic does a much better job than I did. Not to mention that OSX is $69.00 for students, $129.00 for regular consumers, and $199.00 for a 5 license Family Pack. Much cheaper than Windows, but I'll probably still buy it anyway.

A Funny!

It is always a good idea to wipe your computer's hard drive prior to selling it or disposing of it. Here is a great, free, open source tool to help you get the job done: Darik's Boot and Nuke.

DIY DVR

Over break I managed to build and configure my own DVR (Digital Video Recorder). I took a spare PC that I had laying around and installed a WinTV-PVR-150 TV tuner card into it. From there I just needed the software. After a little research and some testing I decided to go with SageTV. It was extremely easy to configure and it is even easier to use. It allows me to use all of the typical DVR functions such as pausing, recording, and rewinding live TV, configuring Favorites, and pulling down program information. Plus, I can watch content from Google Video, get weather information from The Weather Channel, and more importantly I can stream all of my shows across my intranet and across the Internet. Last, by not least, it offers plenty of room for future expansion. It is pretty impressive and definitely worth the cash.
