My son decided that he wanted to make another set of movies. I can’t wait until he is around 15 and I can bust out the archive of this site. Anyway, here they are. I have entitled these “moo moo”, and “moo II”.

Akimbo STB -> MythTV Frontend Part 1
This project is done. I got one on ebay and opened her up. I removed the hard drive, took it to another machine, the immediatly blew out the existing xp embedded install and applications with cfdisk.

Integrating asterisk with the rest of the house; part 1. (OS X Address Book + Asterisk)

4) place a successful fax over sip
