Continuing on the “try to break all my electronics” spree that started with modding my old XBOX and moved on to turning my NAS into a binaries downloader – I’m looking at what it takes to load Linux onto the PS3.

Why? I really don’t know at this point. I had understood it was mandatory to try and install Linux on anything that would take it, although I haven’t yet tried with the old TI-99.

One of the problems about having an entire week off is forgetting what day it is.

It’s Friday. I think.

Today sees my poor little car getting some Toyota-mandated recall work so that a “sound insulator” doesn’t cause a fire should I wreck the thing. I think that’s what they call a “bad thing.”

…and, we’re back.

Of course, I don’t know who this “we” is considering I’m the only one here – literally. The only one posting and reading.

Let’s see – the last post was in November of ‘08. For the curious, I did make it out to L.A. and back in one piece. There’s pictures of it floating out there on my Facebook page, which is also suffering from owner neglect. I’ve dropped off of the few online forums that I frequented, and can’t be bothered to Twitter.

That’s just lazy.

Not only did I just book my trip to a Doctor Who convention out in L.A., but I’ll also be making a pilgrimage to the ancestral home of the Wilson family – which is a scant 10 minute drive from the convention.

Let’s see if I survive Los Angeles.

Nope, I don’t look tired at all…

…I look completely wiped out. I can’t keep up with these kids and their [[insert pop culture reference here]] anymore.

As you can tell, there’s no point to this post other than to post something. Isn’t that grand? Yay internets!1!1!!!!1!!

P.S. The missus got a new job. Wish her well, or else.

So, someting absolutely wonderful happened in Montana during the latest bout of the Olympics. As you can see, that’s the MST3K guys keyed over some folks running. Oops.

Granted, doing that has been a dream of mine for many, many years – hindered only by my common sense and mortgage payment. Now, the good folks at KTVH claim it was an accident caused when a new piece of equipment was powered up for the first time. Indeed, it was a second-hand Flexicoder and the previous owner must have loaded Mike and the bots up into one of the keyers. God bless ‘em, not just for that – but for figuring out how to load something up into the keyer. Goodness knows I’ve tried a few times and failed.

Moving on now…because I know you’ve all been waiting for it – here is the return of the SportsCube! I could have cropped out all the timecode information at the bottom, but it makes it look more high-tech and stuff.
