>Ahh, finally able to get a minute to myself. Enough so that I am updating, at least. I’ve been on a big downloading tiff – KaZaa will be shutting down shortly (most likley, as their in a lawsuit) but in the meanwhile I’ve got a list queued up all the time. Check out “Adult Swim – Brak” he’s got his own show now…

Things have been rather tense in the old “update journal world” some people might know what I’m talking about. I tend not to get personal, I’m more business oriented – “hey look at this…” sort of stuff, rather then discuss who I went to go play pool with, or who ended up hooking up with who… it’s better to have general ideas because specifics can’t be taken back. The rock had different plans, and I’m still ignius. =)

I wish everyone the best in their endevours, I don’t pretend to have any idea what’s going on, officially: I know nothing. =]

My dad had his birthday yesterday, so I went over, hooked up his new “surround sound” system and played with the puppy. (I got pictures!) Panasonic makes this 5 disk (jukebox style… put them in one at a time) DVD/Receiver thingy that they sell at walmart, dolby 5.1, s-video… unfortunately there’s no inputs worth a damn. No optical in/out, only s-video out, and the speakers hook right in the back of the receiver/dvd player. The TV only has 1 S-Video port, and he’s got Dish Network, so that’s S-Video too. They watch more TV then movies, so receiver to VCR via Composite, and VCR to TV via coax (ung) was the only way to hook everything up at the same time, and he’s still got to switch between channel 3 (VCR/DVD) & Video (Dish Network). …this is why people need to buy more expensive electronics. They don’t realize most of these things are meant as one or the other, they’re not set up to have everything working in harmony.

That’s just one more advocation towards moving to home entertainment systems composed of computer components.
