Despite the fact that I own a Cold Heat Soldering Tool, I was made painfully aware that I don’t know very much about actually wiring electronic components together. The only experience I have at doing anything of this nature is messing with a programmable circuitboard during my Computer Architecture masters course at WIU. The “technique” […]

I have been corresponding with A Very Smart Man named Tom that wrote the tutorials on how to get my WebPal keyboard working with MythTV. Throughout our conversations, it has become apparent that a few assumptions that I made about the setup were incorrect. Through Tom’s infinite patience, I have learned that I will in […]

This morning Dad and I were the only ones there at 8 am. Then the troops came rolling in about fifteen minutes later… most of them. We were joined by Dobbleaire-san and Sarah-san, probably since Thursdays workout was cancelled and we all needed our fix. I know I was ready to work out, and we […]

The ride home went much more smoothly tonight. Right now I’m waiting for Tasha to get back from Sams so we can go to my supervisor’s Christmas party. It should be a pretty good time, however Tasha and I are going to spend a part of tonight cleaning out our entertainment center in preparation for […]

Tonight’s commute home was certainly interesting. Apparently, downtown Peoria affords no snow plows. It took me 20 minutes to get to Creve Coeur hill, at what point I got trapped in the rut of a truck as it edged over the shoulder.

Tonight was a continuation of test preparation for our students. The black belts helped correct for the first class and part of the second. I elected to help refine Hickman and Dobbleaire’s kata a bit, they’re coming along nicely on that front. McCabe-san and I were discussing something off and on during the first session… […]

There is nothing better on disgustingly cold winter nights than a golden retriever on your feet and a cup of Earl Grey. Also, knowing there is a space heater in the bedroom that can make it 80 degrees in there helps. I *hate* cold weather. The only reason I put up with it at all […]

Tonight was the first attempt at getting the wireless keyboard working on the MythTV. Lets just say it did not go well. I followed the instructions on the website quite closely. It did not work. In my desperation, I dusted off the 1990’s marvel that was the now defunct WebPal box. I plugged the thing […]
