Quick Update
Not that I post that often, really, but here’s a quick update. I’ve been consumer by work and a recent death in the family.
First of all, for all you locals, there’s a project to create a Haunted House in Deep Ellum. I posted the MySpace bulletin on my Dallas Halloween blog page.
Secondly, Firefox 2 is coming about, with an updated XulRunner not to far behind(I hope!).
Thirdly, my experiment with Freespire is over. While I highly recommend it, I need more of a fine control over everything. So Gentoo here I come. Well, maybe. I think I want to give FreeBSD a whirl, but I’m not so sure of it’s MythTV support as that’s the ultimate goal of this box. It worked quite well on Freespire, but for some reason is not booting, and I have an inkling that it’s because I installed different kernel headers(and possibly the kernel itself) and now the system will not boot, it freezes and then turns itself off during the boot process. I will try to salvage it as much as possible. The projector has to be sent off for a new light bulb, Best Buy takes up to 3 weeks to change a light bulb. So of course this has me looking at new projectors too, as mine is very entry-level and not intended for Home Theater.
The HD70 by Optoma has good reviews on it’s amazon page, is pimped out by the Projector People as a good low-budget Hi-Def HT Projector. Price is right, that’s for damn sure. I really need to get a screen, and I plan on painting the screen on as my loft is a bit unique and there’s really only one place to throw the image onto the wall, so why not paint it a screen. It’s definitely cheaper too.
My spelling has greatly improved with FF2 Release Candidates, as it now has spell-checking in text boxes. Very nice.
One more quick note on Tech, Sage has been updated for FF2, thank goodness! I can’t live without it.
Oh, and anyone who has a Sony notebook, please comment on them. I’m looking for a new notebook computer, something light, and sony looks to be the way to go.

Ok, off of tech. Shortbus(IMDB) is coming soon. A sneak preview is tomorrow, that I, unfortunately, can not attend due to a scheduling conflict(Softball practice, d’oh). Anyways, it will be out at the Angelika on Friday, so I’m going to see it then. It’s by the same guy who did Hedwig and the Angry Inch, both the musical and the movie.
Check out the Trailer and the Teaser. The music sounds awesome as well, although it’s not on iTunes yet(at least not as the movie album). There is an uncensored trailer as well, but I’m not gonna go looking at it right now, I’ll just wait for the movie. Who the hell hasn’t seen porn on the internet these days anyways?
