The DVR
I love this DVR. I have setup it to record the shows I like, I don’t even have to tell it the stations, it will find them and the time, and will record them automatically. I now have a bunch of shows to watch right now.
No more comments in the Video sections, comments on the blog still are here
I have disabled the comments in my video section, do to spammers. I got spam flooded there, so I have made it so that only registered users can post there (not like any one really will register to post there) and the registration requires the typing in of a number that is show in a[…]
DVRs
I called Comcast today because I was wondering how much it would cost me if I wanted a DVR from them, I had looked at the TiVo to see how much it was, and how much I would have to save up for it and the monthly cost. Well I was under the impression that[…]
Computer to VX-5
I went to use my cable to connect my VX-5 to my computer, I wanted to do some programming of the memory channels, and found that cable had been severed so either I can program the whole radio by hand or I can spend the money and get a new cable, I am leaning to[…]

Happy Trinity Sunday
Today is Trinity Sunday in the church. Being that it is Trinity Sunday our church says the whole of the Athanasian Creed. This is one of the longest creeds that I know of in the church. It does take some time to say, but it does a good job at spelling out the Trinity. And[…]

Baby fish
Well today when I got home and looked at my Betta, I saw other animals in the tank I did not expect, and I am not talking about more snails, I saw what looked like fry. I know for sure that they could not have come from the Betta, since I don’t own any female[…]

The Betta in the new tank (comming along nicely)
My Betta (Strustrup) seams to be adapting to his new home now; he is starting to swim around the whole tank now. He seams to be still exploring his new home. The fish in the other tank is starting to get use to the new setup of the plants since I did a major redecoration[…]
