February 2006


just waiting for my mod chip to come in the mail.

1. I’m going to put the mod chip into my xbox.
2. step left blank intentionally (something involving bioses or whatever)
3. Then put Xbox Media Center onto it. This is a cool free project people have put together for people with modded xbox’s to play movies, music and pictures off cd’s, the hard drive, and even off your home network, on your XBOX to be shown on your tv. I figure this is a far more fun and cheaper way to buying a media center PC, or trying to hide my old Mid-Tower computer in my living room.

I figured a large beige rectangular box just didn’t really go very well with the rest of the stuff, and since the XBOX is already there, I might as well get more use out of it.

Laurie and I are hitting Ikea tonight. We haven’t been to that store in a while, since our initial thrust of Ikea adventures (which included strapping a huge couch at one point to Laurie’s little Rav 4) .. but i digress. Possibly after tonight we’ll have be done with furnishings for the house for the most part. yay!
