Mac Spam filters
Well back to work. The ACL tear sure hurt for three weeks and I have to admit I was completely zonked out. Amazing what I spewed on this blog, so I take it all back. Now that I’m back with 1,000 email messages, this whole spam thing has taken on a new urgency. I’ve been…

Seattle HDTV
The Furrygoat Experience: HDTV Goodness. _Hat tip to John Ludwig_ Here’s the latest listing of HDTV channels in Seattle. I watched the NBA All-star pre-game on ESPN. Wow, was that clear. Also, InHD is not bad as demo stuff. Main issue is that KOMO-4 in particular seems to have an audio sync problem. Funny lags.…

Home Theater Update
Well, now that the Onkyo is back, time to get the downstairs system working and also to get the outside speakers on line. Here is what I need. Thanks also to Steve for some other choices: * “Outlaw 7100”:http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/7100.html. A very reasonable $800 for a 7 channel 100-watt per channel amplifier. I need six channels…

Outlaw 7100. Good review of the 7100. Inexpensive and they liked it.

MovableType Maintenance
Finally getting around to this (and lucid enough to do it). Basically, comment spam is overwhelming all my sites. 24 of the last 25 comments were spam generated. If you’re having the same problem, here is what you have to do: # Install Movabletype Version “2.661”:http://movabletype.org. This installs a comment throttler at least. There isn’t…

Water vs. Air cooling: Corsair Hydrocool 200 EX and Koolance EXOS
Since I’ve been descending into geekdom, might as well go all the way, the current rage is to water-cool your CPU. Since heat is the biggest enemy when overclocking, folks have been using exotic cooling to get much better performance. If you nitrogen cool your Pentium for instance, you can get to 4GHz from a…

Speaker Interconnects
Well, I finally got my Onkyo TX-DS989 back from the shop. I shorted out the speaker cables and blew the amplifier sky high. Had to go back to the authorized service center. Anyway, to prevent this in the future, I’m using banana plugs for all my speaker cables. They won’t then just short randomly as…

ASUS A7N8X-X Update
Well, I’ve gotten the new power supply and it sure has helped. Here is where I am: # System runs stably at 198MHz, but won’t pass Prime95’s validation suite. Backing down the memory to 191MHz seems to make the system super stable. I’m guessing that it is the cheap RAM that is the problem. The…

Outlook Spam Filter
Well, I had thought that the Outlook 2003 spam filter would obviate the need for external spam filters, but either I don’t understand it or I it doesn’t work well. Basically, it doesn’t seem to work in cached mode and it seems to require you to click before it fliters things. In any case, I…
