Not the smartest geek in the bunch

Looks like my Links and Blog stuff was overwritten. I had added the links directly to the HTML, but forgot that Blogger SFTP's my page from their site every time I update using their UI. So I'll have to either update the site by hand each time (lame) or write a script to copy my changes into the template each time it updates it to my web site. Yes, that sounds like more fun.

Also geek-related, I've been building a new Audio server at home. It's because my old one kept running out of disk space. I only have a 12 GB hard drive (please don't laugh out loud). To put it into perspective, most computers that are bought nowadays probably come with at least 60-80 GB hard drives. Barely enough space to hold the 6 mixes I have on there. I moved my CD burner over there, but it's not working very well. I may have to put it back into the old one to fill some CD requests.

I also moved my audio card into the new server. When I got it in there, I could hear it from the computer but it wasn't playing on my speakers. It took me about an hour and 1/2 of resetting it into the PCI slot, moving cables back and forth, checking the diagnostics, reading the install guide, and changing configs until I realized that the PC had it's own plug for speakers and I couldn't plug it directly into the sound card. Ugh!
