While I may have my shows auto importing into iTunes perfectly, my iPod still sits idle all night while this is happening. Grabbing my iPod on the way out leaves me without a sync, and without last nights shows.
I was getting sick of this scenario, so I tossed an applescript that will sync my […]

After months of trying to use my PSP as a video player I finally gave it up and picked up a 5G iPod. Its infinitely larger hard drive and faster transfer speeds schooled the PSP. And since I always have my iPod with me anyways, I’d always have my video content too.
There are some […]

I pulled out my PSP tonight and downgraded it back down to 1.5 after playing a few not so addicting rounds of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. I transcoded a few of my Tv shows on there as well to watch during breaks at work and had an epiphany, where is all the PSP […]

For the longest time I’ve complained about the lack of a good interface in Xbmc for reporting on new media files. Yeah yeah, there’s that old window that showed the dvd cases, but it stunk, and didn’t even work really well. I wanted something simple and available on the home screen.
So today while bored and […]

So Mr. PVRblog himself DOES use an Xbox Media Center. I knew he wasn’t stupid. But does he use a broadcatching system… thats the question.

I finally took some time to watch Robert Cringley’s new series, NerdTV, and it was great. His first guest was Andy Hertzfeld, key member of the original Macintosh team. Its a simple show, just the right mix of history and commentary. Andy’s anecdotes are just precious history already, and will forever be folklore. With guests […]

Here’s another great addition to my Broadcatching setup. This is something I pondered doing myself but just didn’t have the time for another project. But as with everything else (except the flickr xbmc plugin), I knew if I waited long enough one would appear. Well one did, and its awesome. While I still have my […]
