Digg

Who knew that Kevin Rose moved on from Attack of the Show since Last YEAR!!? The screen savers used to be my favourite show to watch- after which was Call for Help and then X-Play. G4 has eroded the tech in G4-Tech TV by taking out the more mature presenters. Thankfully these stalwarts have moved onward and upward. I realized that I have been wasting away at work looking for crap to do when I could be getting educated in my favourite past time. Here are a few pages my friend shared with me that have proven to be invaluable.

I think Digg and Revision3 as well as Diggnation will be the ones I most frequently visit. They have a lot of things in Revision3 that I have always wanted to do. Kevin Rose stands out because on The Screen Savers he was the dark tipper.

I have set up the older PC for my mother and father to use far away from my room. I think she should be fine now- even the printer is down there. My brother used to print random things at 2am until I put a time limiter on the Printer. When he sends his print requests downstairs I no longer have to care. Nobody sleeps downstairs yet so nobody will be waking up. Mom doesn't have to come in and wake me to use the computer- FREEDOM!!! J/K- it wasn't that bad.

The only thing missing on that machine is the internet. My wireless has pretty good range but that receiver is crap. Additionally the reception in that part of the house is horrible anyway. I am going to have to run cable to that machine. If I run the cable I would have to setup those ethernet plugs and the switch under the staircase and then another two plugs in my room and my parents room where the router is. Three plugs, one router, 500ft of Cat 5e cable.
My long term goal for my mom's machine is that it will be a stroage area for all my media. I can't stream consistently over my existing wireless and ethernet is cheaper to implement.
