Changes on the server

If you have tried to come here lately, you’ve probably noticed it being up and down quite a bit. Well half of it was Charter Communications and the other half was me upgrading the servers operating system. After trying to get Charter to come out and bury the cable that has been running up the road for a year now(which was causing internet connectivity issues because it was being run over daily), I made the jump over to AT&T DSL. I was a little worried that I would miss the 5 meg speed(since I can only get 3 meg with AT&T) but the reliability has already outweighed the small drop in speed. On the server side, I had to do some upgrades(specifically upgrading from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora 7 for those that care) to get my PVR software to work. I use a piece of software called MythTV to record programs but the program listing provider decided to quit providing the listings back on Septemeber 1st. Well the operating system version didn’t support all the functionality I needed to upgrade to the new version of MythTV so I had to upgrade the operating system to get MythTV working with the new program listings provider. Anyways all is well now.

As far as the Beer and Coffee tasting stuff goes I have been keeping a list of the stuff I’ve tried and will update it once I have some time. I also have some William updating to do. I should hopefully be able to update everyone in the next week or so.
