Monkey and I do a lot of fishing in the warmer weather. We also like to do a lot of bicycle riding. The two tend to be mutually exclusive, so I sent out to build a trailer so we can ride to the lake, go fishing, and ride home.

It’s not pretty. Hell, it’s downright UGLY! It’s part of why I scrapped the design.

A friend of mine just sent this to me and I thought I’d post the recipe. I’m kind of afraid to try it out….

Exchange 2007 UCC SSL certificates. We love ‘em. They actually do make life a little easier when dealing with SSL on internal and external environments. But I just ran into a little quirk with the GoDaddy interface and with the Microsoft Certificate Store.

I’ve been working with a lot of digital media lately… copying avi files to my Wii’s SD card, burning AVI’s to DVD, converting AVI’s to video DVD, etc… It’s a royal pain in the neck.

I KNOW! I’ll build up a cheap HTPC. I can get all my media over the network (or from the HD) and no more messing around.

Parts were ordered and assembled, I hooked up through HDMI on my AV receiver. (After all… a guy at work said it’d work right)… Nope. Nothing. I can hear everything. I can’t see a thing. OS isn’t showing HDMI working, either. WTF?!

I come to find out… unless you pay a boatload for your AV receiver, you don’t down-convert HDMI. Well, shucks! So now I either sit on this computer or I find a new TV with HDMI…

So I suddenly find myself in the HDTV market. Hooray-sorta. I get to decide on a size (not too big. Condo’s not that big). I have to decide on what resolution, refresh, etc…

I’m proud to announce that an LG 37″ 1080P at 120Hz is on its way. If all goes well, I should have it by Thanksgiving! I can’t wait!

Here’s the TV at amazon, supplied by DataVision

The TV I ordered

Free week-or-two shipping. I paid for expedited shipping to have it here sooner.

Did I mention how excited I am?

Before I get into my rant, I have to jump in the way-back machine to tell you about the last time I had to deal with DTE…

I was buying my condo. I called DTE from my parents’ house to set up the electricity. I moved in. Everything was great. . . Until I got my first bill. They sent my my parents’ bill AND my bill. I called DTE. They fixed the problem… or did they? (continue reading…)

OK… I had to do it. It’s the first post on the blog. This site will eventually become the home of Tehlunix.

Since I’m going to be posting recipes, I should test that kind of listing:

This is the title of a recipe!

• Ingredient1
• Ingredient2
• Ingredient3

1. First, do this.
2. Then do this.
3. Hey… This is a lot better than the old version of this crap I was working with!
