    DVD Profiler's site appears to be down....

    Ok, first post on HTF in AGES, and its to comment that Profilers site seems to be down. I know that they are doing some pretty radical changes to the back end again, to be implemented in 2.3.2. Did anyone catch any posts about a planned outage? If not, I am now taking bets on how long it is...

    DVD Profiler

    I am posting this on the off chance that the intervocative crew still visits HTF. I had to reimage my system, and silly me, I forgot to back up my Profiler Key. To top it all off, I seem to have forgotten my password to log into the Profiler website (which has changed radically). I sent...

    Rick Mercer's Monday Report

    Don't know how many of you are watching this, but for those Canadians who missed Rick's Rant on This Hour has 22 Minutes, you won't be disappointed. Loved this weeks "interview" with Shiela Copps. Got her good with the quotes out of her old biography, and had her absolutely squirming with his...

    Enterprise to be cancelled? Speculation stregthens

    Cinescape has put up an article questioning Enterprise's return for a 5th season. Enterprise to be decommisioned? Having only briefly scimmed the article, it would appear the PTB are questioning the lustre of their crown jewels. It is simple really, get rid of B&B and bring fresh blood in...

    Outlaw A/V Receivers What happened?

    OK, I admit to not following the Outlaw bit that much over the last while, but I had been mulling over getting the 1050 Receiver. So I was a little surprised to hit the website today to find it discontinued. Have they replaced it with anything? I could not find any hits of upcoming or...

    Rack Questions

    Ok, I managed to grab two old DEC racks from the office. One is being/will be used for my NOC. It will be in separate location, so no worries about cabling, etc. getting mixed up. The other will have a niche built for it in the HT, allowing me roll it our for replacements/etc. Questions I...

    Is this a Lunchbox I see before me?

    Is this a lunch box I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come let me clutch thee... To paraphrase the great bard, I have been presented with what I feared was a vision tempting me to do evil, but no. It really is the long missing My So-Called Life lunch box, including the bonus disc...

    How do you spell Lawsuit?

    According to Darl McBride... SCO is how it is spelled For those not in the loop, Darl is the CEO of SCO, a company that seems determined to go down in the annuls of computer history as having launched the stupidest lawsuits and threats of lawsuits ever. SCO is suing IBM for IP infringement...

    Help! missing website... (for trailers)

    The site was/is called movie links, or something similar to this. Often has multiple types of trailers, and in different formats. Can't for the live of me remember the name of the site, can can't find it in google... Accidentally killed the bookmark, and I feel foolish.

    Shattered City

    Being a bit of a historical buff (mostly internested in Naval and Maritime History) I was pleased to see this on CBC. I quite enjoyed it, even if "Connie" kept reminding me of "Dawn" from BtVS. Anyone else watch it, and anyone going to buy the DVDs? For those not from Canada, or Boston, in...

    My computer does the Kessle Run in under 12 parsecs...

    Man, some people have WAY to much time. Millenium Falcon HMM, I would have built a wireless keyboard/mouse receiver into the case, that way I could eliminate those wires. Then tried to incorporate the USB ports into the landing gear... Then again, a Frigate, Corellian Cruiser, or Home...

    I have lusted for this since I first saw it. Like Pavlov's dog, it makes me drool as much as a HT Project. So, it will be all mine, my Precious. In less then two hours I pick up My 2003 GT Cruiser! I love this car, and have been wanting to by a Cruiser sine they first debuted. I almost...

    DVD profiler alternative

    I while back I encountered a nice looking alternative to DVD Profiler. The application was written by an Australian, if I recall correctly. Mainly used as a personal, local DB, it only had details for Region 4 dics online. Due to difficulties with DVD Profiler (which over all I still LOVE) I...

    DVD Audio

    Is it possible to have a HTPC set up that can play DVD audio discs? I think that the new Audigy2 cards will allow you to do this, but does nayone know of software out there now? I am currently running an SB Audigy card, and really don't need to go out and get yet an other multi speaker card.

    Happy Eleventy-First Brithday!

    Remember to stop by your local version of the Prancing Pony and raise a pint to "the Professor". Today would have marked J.R.R. Tolkien's Eleventy-First birthday (111), or "a very curious number and a very respectable age for a Hobbit." Thank you! I can't begin to tell you how much I...
