Wife is out of town with a boyfriend this weekend, so I decided now that I'm gainfully employed again to do some cool stuff for myself.
Went out to the car, and discovered someone had been messing with my gas cap. They'd opened the door, opened the cap, and closed the door with the cap still off. Several cars in the lots had their doors open. Time to call the HOA and bitch about security.
Started the car, and the "engine warning" light came on. At this point, I'm ready to go back to bed, but I went down any way, and made the following purchases:
1. Avermedia tv capture card
2. 2 USB hubs
3. Logitech quickcam.
The Avermedia is very very cool. You can be expecting lots of new pictures because of it. I just plugged it into the cable tv line, into the USB port, installed the software, and I now have 99 channels of basic cable. (alas, movie channels require a digital tuner, which I've yetto see in a computer card)
USB hubs. One for me, one for the wifey. We've just got way too much USB stuff between us.
Logitech Quick Cam -- I got the Quickcam Communicate STX. I had a cheapo hong kong camera, and the resolution sucked. This one has great resolution, and a mic. The mic driver didn't install properly, so gotta talk to Logitech about that. Don't care much anyway, I use a headset.
I'm on Skype, and Yahoo, and AIM, if you want to video chat.
Forgot to get a new mousepad... Maybe tomorrow.
So its supposed to snow feet here in D.C... We'll see.
So its a night at the house alone, probably a bottle of wine, some leftover chili, and online fun....
