Permalink to this day Saturday, May 22, 2004

So last night after getting home from the bar at 2ish I decided to geek out and setup my Media Center and my Media Center Extender (codename Bobsled).

I have the Extender in my bedroom hooked up to my brand new 13" LCD television and my relatively inexpensive speakers. It's pretty cool and I was certainly impressed that I was able to set it up at 2am after a night out :). I think my primary use it for is going to be playing music and a digital picture frame (I'll have all my photos in an endless random slideshow). Of course it does TV, videos,... but I'd rather watch those in the living room.

I had to work today. Supposedly it's the only time in my office mate's memory that the (PM) team got asked to come in as a group. Fortunately it poured the entire time I was there so I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.

In other work news, I lost the stylus/pen for my tablet and I am too embarrassed to order another one (they're not cheap).

Last night we had dinner at Cafe Septime. We determined which restaurant to go to by cutting up all the restaurant listings in the Stranger and then putting them in a bowl and drawing out three and then choosing one (it turns out the first two we drew, a vegan restaurant followed by a health one were deemed unacceptable). The food there was 'meh'. Dinner was followed by a drink at Six Arms (great local pub with killer music selection), followed by several drinks at Chapel (our local chichi haunt) and this was followed by drinks at the Baltic Room (turns out Friday is not the night to go unless you're really into R&B/Hip hop).
