MythTV Here I Come
Based on what I saw at a friend's house last Friday I had to get a system put together for MythTV. I plan on using it right now for all of the girls movies (No more scratched DVDs!!) but who knows what all I'll do with it. Digital TV over the air comes to mind. Here is a list of compoents. Thanks to Jon Hall for helping me put it together.

- MB ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI AM2 GF8200

- MEM 1Gx2|G.SK F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ

What do you think? Does anyone out there MythTV?? I'm excited!!
Good Day!

Still Running
RunningOver 52 miles in 30 days of running and I'm loving it! Averaging about 2 miles per day of running. Would like to get up to 3 miles so I can run a 5k marathon. We'll see how it goes.
Getting ready to go out again right now. Might be a little warm!
Good Day!

Working OnWhere does the time go? Holy cow, where did June go? For that matter where did the first half of 2008 go? Can you believe it's the second half of the year already? All those projects at work that I've been pushing off until the end of the year are now fast approaching. Those will all have to wait until I can get this other stuff done.
Here is a short list of what I've been working on:
- eTech Channel Web Site: This is an internal web site that my group developed. We are creating CNET TV like videos on the technology we are working on. We launched the site on teh 23rd and so far the feedback has been good. It's done in .Net which I'm not happy about but it will do for now.
- Digital Signage: DS seems to be taking off lately. We have one call center installing it now with another agreeing to install yesterday. I'll have a meeting next week sometime with the President of the newest call center. I've been told I need to create some content to WOW him. I am working on a web site where users can create messages and have them posted on their digital signage board. In short this works with the web site posting the message to the database and then the digital signage server reading the database for message and displaying them on the monitors.
- Thunder: Need to get caught up on our PolyVision Thunder Room. Haven't performed too much on this project lately, although we did get network and power to all four tables in the room. Thats 16 ports of network and 16 power jacks folks. Go ahead, plug in! I need to come up with a project to promote Thunder with amoung the employees in Dallas. I think I'm going to call it "Thunder Days". We want people to come see the room and then sign up to use the room for real meetings
Those seem to be the big three projects lately. I've also be working on other little things but nothing work noting. Lots of documentation.
Last Friday AT&T announced that we are moving our headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas. That annoucment sure has shook things up here. We have people moving others moving out.... crazyness. I did get to meet our CEO, Randall Stephenson, yesterday. That was very exciting, he's very tall!
Thats all for now. I am still running and loving the Garmin 201 Forerunner device that Jenell let me borrow. Ran almost 30 miles in June.
Good Day!

I Made a Difference!
The WebEarlier in the week I told you about ITookThisOnMyPhone.com. It's a cool application for your cell phone with web site that could use some work on the backend. What it does is transfers any pictures you take with you phone to the web site automatically.
This week I sent an email off to their technical support team about some issues I was having with the site:
Just wanted to make you aware of a couple issues with your site. Both
issues seem to appear when the GPS information is present on a photo in
IE 7.0.1. When you are posting tags on a photo the Ajax code used to refresh
the tag area errors out and does not refresh. There is a JavaScript
error. The tags do get posted but you have to manually refresh the page2. When adding a title to a picture the title area never refreshes, it
just gets stuck on "saving...". The title does get added, but you have
to refresh the page manually to see the new title.Again both of these issues happen in IE7 only when the GPS information
is present.Thanks,
Ryan
