Most folks buy their TV's at places like Sears or Best Buy, and there's a lot to be said for plunking your credit card down and driving home with a functional television set. But that's not my style. I've been using a Commodore 64 color monitor hooked up to a VCR since the late 80's and it's worked great. On the other hand, VCR's are going the way of the dodo and a 13" television with weak mono sound isn't much fun so I should probably upgrade.

 2003-09-23 - It turns out that video files are big. Who knew? I managed to wedge this server last night by filling it up with The Simpsons videos. Probably a good idea to put the recordings on a partition other than /.

Installed Myth Weather which is quite cool but I doubt that I'll use it.

2003-09-30 - Adding DVD support to Mythtv was pretty close to trivial. At some time between a year ago and now, someone packaged mplayer and ogle for Debian, so they're both an apt-get away. During the installation process you'll be prompted with the name of a script that will find and install CSS so you can watch encrypted DVD's. The Mythttv module is called MythDVD. Playing is trivially easy but I haven't quite figured out how to rip yet. That's OK, I don't have enough disk space anyway.

I had to add a link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd and make sure that your user is in the cdrom group, but other than that it just works. Cool!
