A few weeks ago I noticed I had a bunch of SPAM on the blog. I installed WordPress’s Akismet and that seems to have solved the problem.

As I mentioned in my last entry, I was planning on learning about Xen. The first thing that I learned about Xen was when I run Windows, I can’t access any of the hardware or I don’t have access to it. I wanted to be able to access my USB device so that I could update my iPod via iTunes, but I could not get it to work. As far as I can tell, right now, this capability is not possible with Xen.

I still don’t have a good way to update my iPod. I keep all my music on the big RAID drive and then let iTunes manage it. Still trying to figure that one out…

I am now starting to play with MythTV. Will probably run the backend as a guest OS under Xen. I am looking into using MythDora. Will have to see how that goes…

My friend Patrick Fitzgerald of BarelyFitz Designs has a great blog. He just posted an example of a presentation he gave at Podcamp Atlanta on Screencasting.
