I have gotten my media center setup. I decided against using linuxmce so that I would be able to individually upgrade components and not worry about breaking things 
I have installed mythtv and gotten my hardware setup. It was all quite easy. I used this howto to do the setup. Worked like a champ!
I have the livetv(recording)/pictures/music parts figured out. Now I need to figure out how to setup the gaming part and the info center.
Interesting article I saw on digg about tuning Ubuntu performance. Some was new and some I knew about already.

I saw this on /. today:
OSX on the x86 platform runs on a sub-set of the hardware which evolved with the commodity PC running Windows.

It was a 3 or more dr pepper problem.
Subversion is all setup and my data has been imported. I have checked out the data onto my laptop. I feel accomplished.
So one project complete! Now its time to setup IPV6. This ties in with my SoCal Lug project and setting up a SoCal LUG cloud. This is part of stuff I mentioned earlier in my blog about VPN and Virtual images and auto setup.
Yea hah!
I came across a cool website this morning. Its called Scribd. Its like youtube but for written material. Lots of good Linux texts online.
So I have upgraded to Feisty fawn and installed Beryl. It is great when it works. Its still very buggy. Hopefully it will continue to get better and become more and more usable. I have only gotten it working in GNOME so far. Still need to figure out how to get it to work in ICEWM. I am thinking of running the GNOME environment with ICEWM as the window manager.

So I have some done basic captures in kino. Working on editing and exports now. Once I get Kino figured out more or less (and most likely contribute to the documentation) I will move onto Lives.
Video has always been something of an interest of mine, and I will be recording various user group meetings that I attend. I will add this to my standard equipment that I travel to user group meetings with
