I’ve created a new template loosely based off the “blacknblue” template that I found on the WordPress template site. The person who created it specified font sizes in em. What The Font?!? (Or some other WTF even) Why would you set the body text size and then base all other sizes on the whole site on the width of a lower case m in the body? It’s better now.

Build Your Own Personal Video Recorder site
As Rampy put it:
BYOPVR is dedicated to Building your own Personal Video Recorder (PVR), Personal Video Recorder (PVR), or Home Theater PC (HTPC) from scratch using PC parts and software.
It’s much more fun, geeky, and flexible than buying a commercial PVR like Tivo, or ReplayTV. You can’t play MAME on your Tivo (well not yet — those TiVo haxors are pretty enterprising).
Advances (and price drops) in video card technology, small form factor PC’s, and Open Source Software PVR solutions have made rolling your own much easier than ever before.
If that sounds like you bag, come on down and discuss the finer points of building your own tivo-esque PC. =)
buildajukebox.com website redesign

Games!

Building the Personal Video Recorder
A new article has been posted on my site about Building Your Own PVR. The story entitled “Building the Personal Video Recorder” – “A Mini-ITX based PC in an old Satellite Receiver’s case”, details some of the steps involved in building my quest to build a TiVo-like device.
