No updates for a while... so I'll put one up before work today.

We've got a bit of Addie's room done. There's a base coat of primer up on all the walls, although we have another coat of primer to go before we can put on a coat of color (light green!). We'll probably end up putting two coats of the color on though, so there is still a serious amount of work left just in the painting. We're going with a VOC-free paint called Freshaire from The Home Depot. Supposedly you could paint a hospital room with the paitients still in it if you use this stuff... very odor free, and apparently good for the environment. Maybe, I guess... all I know is that it's good for Home Depot's bottom line, at $35 a gallon!!! It's been taking about a gallon per coat. So we still have $70 worth of paint to buy. If you want to see the color we're using, go to the  Freshaire Website and select the Colors tab. We're using Arbor Vine.

We picked up a new air conditioner, because the one in Addie's room wasn't working well. We're going to move the 8,000 BTU one in our room to Addie's room, and we got a 12,000 BTU Frigidaire for our room. The 8,000 didnt quite get cold enough in our room, but Addie's room is significantly smaller, so it should do fine in there. Also, Addie doesn't need the room to be a freezer... so that will help.

We had a good fourth of July. Didn't do much, just cooked out. Didn't spend a bunch of money on fireworks, mostly just watched everyone elses... good times. Why pay money just to light the fuse, eh? We did get some firecrackers, which I'm sure we didn't use inside city limits. Not sure what happened to that orange in my driveway... :D

Oh, I ordered a  new remote for MythTV from NewEgg. Several posts online about it being compatible with lirc for use in conjunction with MythTV. Looking forward to putting the keyboard away again... it was much nicer just with a remote to access MythTV. Gonna have to match one of those buttons to a script that kills any instance of mythfrontend and restarts it though... had a bit of trouble needing that lately. Yes, I did just geek out a bit... I'm sure you'll survive.

Other than that, not a whole lot going on, I'll leave you with a nice link to what is probably  the smallest bluetooth adapter I have ever seen! That's almost as good as built-in.
