I was kind of MIA this weekend down in the basement working on crazy inventions and such. It took me Friday and Saturday to finally get my xbox modded and working with the new bios. Then unfortunately I had some problems doing the gentoox install. At this point everything is working except I don't have a working connector so I can attach a keyboard to my xbox ... once that works I should be all set to compile mythtv and have my frontend all up and running correctly.

There was also a fiasco with my ipod ... somehow I fucked it up by disconnecting it while it said "do not disconnect." Like sure, I need to listen to that ... right? Anyways ... it fucked up my ipod partition and left me with only 8.6 GB of space to use on my 15 GB ipod. To reformat it I plugged it in to my mom's laptop which has windows and that was just a stupid thing to do. I turned on her laptop and it reported that my ipod partition had errors and started scandisk. Yeah, so I thought that was a good thing at first, but then it ended up running scandisk for 12 hours and then not even fixing the problem, stupid windows. I tried again ... just this time I plugged in the ipod after windows booted. After that I was able to reformat the partition and fix the problem ... so now my ipod is indeed working perfectly =)

I played ball on Saturday, but man it wasn't my day. I played like sheeite ... bleh. I'm looking forward to a chance to improve on that performance. Saturday I saw L'Auberge Espagnole which was pretty neat reflection on traveling. On Monday I went to see the US vs. Whales soccer exhibition match. The game was totally brutal with penalties practically every few minutes. The US came out on top after one good goal and a penalty kick which came with a red card.

I have been sadly neglecting updates to the website and writing reviews lately. I've been trying to make some changes to the site that will give me a chance to make updates easier. Hopefully once thats all in place I will have a bit more to show.

Well ... thats whats up for now.
