2 sound cards (1 record, 1 playback) + line-in pass-thru (winamp) + ps2
•
All this while, since my last XP reinstall, my computer has been passwordless as I wanted to simulate a proper HTPC environment, one which allows me to not go near my PC at all if I want to watch anything. Well, by setting a numeric password, I can still use the remote to key…

the astro max fallacy
•
Recently Astro launched their MAX service, which seems to be a DVB-S enabled PVR basically. What’s troubling is that, in their FAQ, they state that they’re competitively priced against DVD Recorders, which may be true but is similar to comparing apples and oranges. Fact is, there is no other digital PVR available widely in…

silence
•
With FFXII in hand, I spent a few moments moving my PS2 into the room. My monitor made the video connection real easy, but now I’m missing a crucial component: audio. Before this, I could just plug straight into the TV’s RCA plugs, but most monitors like mine are audioless and thus devoid of…

theme revamp 3
•
Hey peeps. Still messing around with WordPress. I’ve gotten my Gallery2 integration all set up. All that’s left is looking for a QuickLinks replacement, which I haven’t found an exact equivalent for. Well, I did, but BianHuan doesn’t seem to work with PHP5 due to what seems to be usage of the somewhat extinct…

theme revamp 2
•
After looking at all the work I’ll need to redo my theme, I’ve decided to just switch to WordPress. Reason being it has pretty much all the functionality I currently enjoy with Movable Type (except maybe QuickLinks and SpamLookup) AND it has Gallery 2 integration! And it’s PHP; I like PHP. I’ll be exporting…

theme revamp
•
As you can see I’m back to using the default Movable Type theme. Apparently, SixApart has streamlined the theme format for MT, TypePad and LiveJournal to follow some particular standard, so I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and refresh all my templates to follow it. Page regeneration on this site was also getting…

almost a htpc
•
Gotta love forums. There’s actually a utility called MPTray that lets you start MediaPortal with the MCE Remote’s Green button. And since I only use the remote for MediaPortal, that led me to uninstall HIP and the replacement MCE IR driver. One interesting development though is a new MediaPortal plugin that caters for the…

s3 resume again
•
Thinking how my overclocking is keeping my computer from S3 resuming properly, I went around looking for some utility that would overclock the computer on the fly when certain programs are run. So that my computer would only overclock when I needed to, leaving the rest of the time ready for standby mode. SpeedFan…
