Bottom line, it sucks. The version 1.1 software is supposed to fix some bugs and add support for the remote. I didn't notice any bugs before, but now, after updating, when I hit the center button while playing music to rate songs and things, the wrong screens show up. 406@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2006-01-29T20:56:22-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/11/the_polar_express_in_imax_3d.html Now, I'll start by saying I am not real big on watching children's movies. But, there are a few I do like such as the Lion King and Shrek. But, Saturday night after work, Nickcole and I decided to go to the movies. There wasn't really any outstanding movies playing, but I noticed that there was a 3D version of the Polar Express playing at the IMAX theater. I have never been the IMAX as it has mostly had movies that I haven't wanted to see. And anything I did want to see was just a normal movie blown up for the bigger screen. But, based on the previews, I knew the Polar Express had some pretty impresive animations, and to see it in 3D would make it worthwhile to pay the extra charge for going to the IMAX. 251@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-11-15T14:26:25-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/07/2gb_of_storage_for_msn_accounts.html Joel mentioned to me that you can get 2GB of free storage on Hotmail with an @msn.com address. There are instructions there how to sign up for that. While it's a very nice offer, though strange that only MSN Explorer users can access that. Maybe there are just testing the service out with those users, and will maybe expand the offer to all users in time. Once GMail is out of beta, the other free e-mail services will need to come up with something. 185@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-07-21T10:21:30-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/06/learn_to_code_to_the_proper_way.html Not an extremely comprehensive site, but I have found it to be informative. If your like me, and still have trouble thinking of webpage design as XHTML and CSS as opposed to old school HTML, then this is the page for you. 158@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-06-02T13:52:36-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/03/welcome_to_the_19th_century.html On Wednesday I had phone wiring and phone jacks installed in my house. I have now entered 19th century technology. ;) I have been living in my current place for about two and a half years, and bought it new. Never had any phone jacks, and when moving I decided that I would try the wireless only phone option. So for the last two and a half years, a cell phone has been my only telephone. 129@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-03-26T23:08:40-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/02/new_tv.html Tonight I ended up buying a new TV and setting that up. Was going to hang out with my friend Patrick and a bunch of other people, but I forgot to line up a babysitter until the last minute, and then it was too late. 106@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-02-22T03:43:49-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/02/nice_ebay_deal_on_sb_live_51.html Got a nice deal on a SB Live 5.1 card off of EBay. Only $10 with shipping. It was advertised as a Sound Blaster 128 card. I just wanted to get a card that had support for rear speakers since I got a Creative 4.1 surround sound speaker set for Christmas from my mom. I'm not a big audio fanatic, so I had just been using the stereo sound that came built into the motherboard on my PC. So I was very surprised to see the card was even better than the one advertised. 81@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-02-06T14:02:56-05:00
