UPDATE: As you can see my site is back for the most part.  I just need to add the theme back in, which I’ll do soon.  Thanks for your patience.

Seems some hackers exploited my WordPress 2.5 some how.  It’ll be a few days before I get everything back up and running again, since I’m pretty busy with school right now.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Their old 200k+ mile ’92 Caprice Classic died and with this death they ushered in an era of owning a car actually built this century. It’s a 2005 Impala with Onstar, CD player, cruise, a pretty standard package. Since today is Fathers Day I decided that it would be a great idea to burn my dad some CDs. Doing so in iTunes I went home with the Topgun sound track and the best ofs: James Bond and Sting and the Police.

Well to make a short story short, the CDs didn’t work. I don’t know if it was burning them in iTunes or maybe it was the CDRs I used so if anyone knows what I did wrong please comment and help me out.

Update: Thanks for all the advice, I’ll be testing out the various things, slower burn speed, music cds, not using itunes tonight and I’ll be sure to post an update.

Update again:  Burning at slower speed with a Sony disk seemed to work.  So I’m all set now.  Thanks a lot for all your help.

It’s been a while. Classes are done with for the year, thank god. I did pretty well too. I’m back working at Protein Media, doing 40 hours a week.

Recently, my friends and I have been watching really bad horror movies, Redneck Zombies, Dead Alive, Slumber Party Masacres, just to name a few. There’s a pretty cool site called badmovies.org that I just have to link to because its well written and actually rather funny. I guess I’m just wasting my Netflix subscription, oh well.

Other things. Beach vollyball is awesome. I’ve taken to playing with my friends. It’s very funny how bad we were at the beginning and how okay we are now.

Steve Jobs keynote is scheduled for noon eastern time. There are so many rumors of iTV, iPhone, Leopard release, who knows what rumors he might dispel or confirm? Its really just a crap shoot, however, there are some people having fun with things. MacWorld Bingo is a pretty good time.

For actual coverage of the event MacRumors has set up a live feed, which I’m positive will get pummeled with traffic.

Well, if you’re let down by the Keynote its really our fault, there is so much hype surrounding this event its almost ridiculous. So don’t be disappointed, just enjoy.

Tomorrow is the company holiday party, which should be fun. I’ve still got to put together my secret santa gift, that I didn’t get part of at the thrift store. Hah. Then I go home to relax and do all my christmas shopping… yeah relax hah.

I bring this up because I’ve decided to water cool my laptop. I found this how to… but I’ll need to make some modifications because my hp’s heatsink is insanely small.

If you haven’t noticed, I updated the layout a little bit… and by doing that I mean I uploaded a theme someone else had created.  I like it better then the default so here we are.

What else… I got the PVR up and running, its pretty awesome actually.  I still need to get xbmcmythtv working.  I need to figure out a mysql connection issue.  I think I know what the problem is, I just need to modify the conf file… and it should work.  I have my fingers crossed at least.

Protein moved into its nice new offices so I’ve been going into work everyday. *gasp* Its like I have a real job. They are pretty nice, I think at one point we’re having an office warming party, so look out for that? No one reads this, so I’ll probably tell you.  I just got a flickr account and you can see the pictures on the side bar —>
What else is going on… its Tripp’s birthday today, he’s 20. Happy Birthday.

]]> http://rag.nu/2006/09/08/the-college-park-site/feed/ 0 Um, a status update. http://rag.nu/2006/09/03/um-a-status-update/ http://rag.nu/2006/09/03/um-a-status-update/#comments Sun, 03 Sep 2006 15:39:02 +0000 Dave http://rag.nu/?p=9 I haven’t written anything recently. I’ve been pretty busy with all the back to school stuff/festivities. I recently became a mac owner again. This time I got myself a 12″ Powerbook G4 for 500 bucks which works a lot better then my g3 did. Its funny too because they day after I get it, the battery is recalled. That went smoothly.

My pvr project is going pretty well, I got XBMC installed on the xbox after I modded it. That was kind of a pain. Every xbox modding website is unorganized and aweful. I had about 20 different tutorials all up all saying something different. Zoe gave me her old computer. Its hard drive was dead. I broke one of my hard drives trying to put ubuntu on it. Some how I managed to solder the pins back in and it works now… I don’t trust it a bit. I just need to wait for a paycheck to buy the tv tuner card and massive hard drive. Then I’ll be done with that project.
