Lately, while our house has been pretty much off-limits due to the painting, I’ve been doing more thinking of possible future projects. There are plenty of things I could do to improve my Home Theater system(s), but I’m being practical. What would make things more convenient while also being useful? What I [...]

I finally got around to getting my home theater equipment added in my projects list.  I’ll get some pictures up soon.  Painters started on the inside of our house today, so I’ll probably take a bunch of pictures after they’re finished and everything is put into place.  That will probably slow things down for the [...]

I’ve added a network equipment  table to my projects section.  Next up will be a table describing my home theater equipment.  Eventually, I’ll get pictures to associate everything to up here.

I missed it until this morning, but MyMovies 2.44 is available for download here. It appears to be some minor bugfixes over the 2.43 Final that was released a few days prior. I’ve not noticed any differences, but I ’set and forget’ mine and don’t use anything beyond the MCE interface side of [...]

There were, however, about a half-dozen or more titles that won’t make it to the web service since [...]

There is a thread at the unRAID forums here that discusses increasing the read-ahead buffer in unRAID from the default 256KB to 2MB can drastically increase performance. I hadn’t tried it since I’m very new to unRAID and not very proficient in Linux, so I was unable to comment…until now.
A few minutes ago I [...]

We were supposed to begin painting the entire insides of our house today, but we’ve postponed it until Monday. It’s made for a busy last couple of days and the weekend won’t get any better.
Yesterday was spent taking down and cleaning two 30g fish tanks, unhooking my entire living room entertainment center and moving [...]

For the longest time, most of us Vista (and MCE) users have wanted the ability to add, remove and modify the menus presented on the ‘Home’ screen. It looks as though an application is on the horizon that will give us that capability.
Over at XPMediaCentre.au, a member has started developing an application to do [...]
