Disturbing Video

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

This has to be one of the most disturbing things I have watched in long time.

I don’t understand why universities in the US maintain their own security services, especially when you see the abuses that can happen.

Queen says no to porn

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Darn, and was hoping she would say porn, but the register is reporting otherwise http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/15/queens_speech_2006/

Continueing mythtv quest.

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

I have given up on trying to get my via epia box to run as a mythtv frontend server instead I downloaded http://www.goof.com/~mmead/MythFrontend-MacOSXUniversal-0.20-fixes-20061001.dmg.bz2. Now I can watch TV recorded on either of my Mac laptops which give me the ability to watch something other than desperate housewifes. My 12 inch powerbook is probably at the speed limit for watching a stream over an 802.11g wireless connection, but it works as long as the mythtv application is in the foreground and the power is plugged in. I am still very temped to get a series 3 tivo so I can move my lifetime subscription to a newer platform than my old series 1. I wonder what the ebay price on a lifetime series 1 will be after the ability to do a transfer expires at the end of the year.

Uk going to far

I will have to see if I can find a copy of the queens speach where she says ‘porn’ 🙂
