Transmission, RSS and XBMC

Posted by on April 27, 2011 5 comments

I’m a huge fan of XBMC. My pc (currently running Ubuntu 10.04) has taken root in my living room, piping all my movies and tv shows straight to my HDTV.

While my pc is set up as a DVR using MythTV to record shows off my FIOS box, it tends to be a little unreliable, which can suck when it’s time to catch up on Daily Show and Colbert episodes.

Potatoes and Portal Guns

Posted by on April 27, 2011 5 comments

Got my hands on Portal 2 and finished a run through the single player campaign. Was a lot of fun, the characters were bursting with humor and personality. Just like the first game, it was hard to stop playing. Unlike the first game, it’s got some length, so I stayed up late a couple nights with my eyes glued to the television. I already want to play through it again to find any little things I my tired eyes may have missed.

I’m itching to give co-op a try, so if you happen to have it on xbox or care to drop by, let me know.

Update: Played some co-op with Jen, had fun navigating puzzles together :)
