Well, to say the least, my life has changed significantly since then: I've nearly finish graduate school, I've gotten a new ... http://tacomafia.net/blog/2010/life-updates/ Thanks to darthanubis, I realized that I was hosting an out-of-date version of my Mythexport script. I've not used it in quite some time, since I no longer maintain a MythTv box. However, if some people are finding it to be useful, I'll keep it around. So, I hope ... http://tacomafia.net/blog/2008/mythexportrevisited/ That is all. http://tacomafia.net/blog/2007/ive-graduated/ I installed Ubuntu 7.10, "Gutsy Gibbon", last week when it was officially released.

I'm taking Database Systems, Operating Systems, and Design of Digital Systems this semseter. (Lots of "Systems"). I'm pretty psyched about Operating Systems. I hear/know it's ... http://tacomafia.net/blog/2007/new-semester/ I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.1. That was a huge pain in the ass. First, I decided it would be a good idea to start using the debian package to handle my wordpress updates. Not a good idea. There were bugs all over the place that ... http://tacomafia.net/blog/2007/well-that-was-a-pain/ It seems as though nuvexport development has slowed recently. I've run into problems with ffmpeg throwing floating point exceptions when invoked from nuvexport. After some discussion on the official nuvexport trac about the problem.
