My media server has been updated for Windows 10

Way back long ago I let you know what I was using for my media "jukebox" and it worked well at the time. Upgrading to Windows 10 meant finding a new way though because Windows 10 does not have Windows Media Center. No WMC means no MyMovies so I switched to Plex.  Using Plex allows me to ditch the large .ISO files for each movie I've backed up and transcode it to a smaller file with Handbrake. I slimmed things down quite a bit by using 720p instead of the original 1080p. Now instead of using most of a 5gb raid the movies sit on a 1gb drive. Another great thing about Plex is being able to stream a movie from my home PC when I'm out of town.

Diversity pencils?

This is one of those moments where things go horribly wrong in the funniest ways.  I noticed this post had a missing picture.  That picture was the whole reason for the post in the first place, without it does the phrase Diversity Pencils make any sense?  I didn't think it did either but I refuse to change the title of the post so you're just going to have to live with it.  The picture in question accidentally got deleted from my phone, here, and everywhere except the goofy EEO training it came from originally. 

My GTA V endgame

After finishing the main story line I picked back up with Trevor to complete MY game story. Trevor, newly rich from the big bank job, went online and ordered a tank. I got the feeling Trevor wasn't in it for the money so blowing 3mil on a tank sounded like the right thing to do. Once he found where it was delivered he climbed in and blew up everything until his death about an hour later. Somehow the police force managed to destroy the tank with their service revolvers, well maybe the train had something to do with it. All I know is he went out in a glorious psychotic meltdown. 

To do list

Research adding an AND gate to the relay that turns my headlights on so they turn off when the car is off.

Build a secondary network mainly to keep the high traffic of media streaming from causing conjestion on the main network.

Learn more about mesh networks and the ways they could help during a natural disaster. This is on the list because I recently moved to the area that was devestated by hurricane katrina.

Generational Differences

It's amazing the advancements that go along with new generations of gaming hardware.  Way back in the day I got a copy of Dragon Warrior for the NES and loved it. Here's a look at how it compares to Dragon Quest 1 for the next gen, both running on emulators.

Dragon Quest for SNES or Super Famicom

Forking pickles

Just took a trip to Harbor Freight looking for a ball joint separator and they didn't have one in stock. Looks like we're heading to sears when my wife gets home.

The parts man cometh

It looks like the parts have all come in so I can start working on my suspension in the morning. Well maybe not morning since it's so late, but definitely tomorrow sometime.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I have many things to be thankful for in my life, and my family and friends top that list.  Even if you're not in the US I hope you and yours are having a wonderful day.

Uplifting

I recently got around to replacing the worn hatch supports in the CRX, finally.  The supports Amazon said fit weren't an exact replacement so there was a little bit of modification to be done.  The OEM supports had a 90 degree eyelet on the tube side to mount it to the car.  That eyelet had to cut off and a hole drilled through it before I could mount them on the new supports.  All in all it took about 30 minutes per side because the saw didn't have a proper metal cutting blade.
