Item No. 129

Written on Tuesday, October 13, 2009

I’m getting fat. I had trouble getting into a pair of my jeans this weekend. It could be all the carne asada burritos, or it could be the bottled soda I’ve been buying, or it could definitely be the ice cream cake I eat at work when nobody else is looking. Either way, I think I’m going to have to start by scaling back my sugar intake, and maybe even going for walks. Oh the humiliation.

I switched up the skins on my malfunctioning HTPC (running MediaPortal), and it’s still crashing. After some further debugging with the help of my friends, it’s looking like my video card is overheating. While I’m none too happy about this, at least it looks like the problem has finally been found. Also, the new remote I ordered still hasn’t arrived from freaking Hong Kong. 15-20 business days for shipping! I need to read my eBay descriptions more closely from now on.

I got a Google Wave account, but sadly have no friends to try it out with. I need to find me some more geeky friends.
