build furniture
Time 2 years ago

Originally when I wanted to do this I
a) neeeded furniture
b) had more free time
c) had fewere hobbies.

Now I’d rather spend my hard earned cash on something simple from Ikea and spend my time at Borders reading ;)



help improve my graduate program
Rails 2 years ago

I helped move my grad program from teaching the future tech leaders how to make sites in PHP + MySQL to ruby on rails. Even though I’m just a masters student like my students I teach SI539: Design of Complex Websites.

It’s been a smashing success. Wherever I move I hope to teach this course at a college or University nearby!



Build a MythTV box
What I've got 3 years ago

I picked up an old Dell from work (smallish case, decently quiet). It has:
*a 933Mhz Pentium III
*384 MB RAM
*using an old keyboard and mouse
*old Dell monitor (15” for set up)
*120 GB hard drive (had it lying around… probably $40 – $60 these days)
*Haupaggue PVR-350 (just under $200 with shipping).

The total cost to me has been about $200 so far (not including my time :p)
