new project

thanatosblog encouraged me to start a new project. I was unhappy with the performance of my home TV set up. I currently have a BlueRay player form LG (BD 390) which is an excellent network player, if only it would play along with all routers and switches (at the moment it won't connect to the network and I am tired to find the right set up that will play nicely with it). First and last LG product I ever owned. On the other side I have an X-Box 360. Which looks ok but is just not that polished when it comes to display content form my DLNA enabled NAS. Besides it won't play my mkv files. I used XBMC on my computer before to play media from my NAS and really liked it. Especially the eye candy when browsing through my movie database. Now I found on thanatosblog an article on how to get XBMC onto apple TV 2 and there I go. I bid on a second hand version of it and hope to get it within the week. I will post here how the jailbreaking, downgrading and then installing of XBMCubuntu will work out for me.
Now all I need to do is to finish ripping all my DVDs and find a way how to get my bluerays on the network drive.

At least I didn't have to give my credit card information

Sitting here at Krakow airport with no Internet connection. No possibility to do email or any other real work. At least checking in worked for once. I did it the old fashioned way at the desk. Very helpful lady! Back to Internet. Plenty of wireless networks available, just none seems to work for me. Maybe I just don't hold it right. Anyway, soon off to Munich and then have plenty of time for dinner and downloading emails. If I get a connection.
