Heh. That weekend, MY family has plans. :-\

I do still intend on making it down there at some point. Thus far, I've 
not been all that impressed with the Seattle meetings, and Tacoma is 
just about as far a drive as North Seattle Community College for me. 
Taking time out two Saturdays in a row is tough though (that family 
thing again :).

Any chance you could make it to the Tuesday evening Unix Group meeting? 
Not really much time to talk though...

Gotcha. It was pretty solid when I first got into it, in late May, and 
keeps getting better.

But I assume it stores something in a standard format, unlike MythTV... 
Myth now has a web front end to schedule (and delete) recordings now 
also. I definitely think the two projects could help one another out in 
some way (if only by swiping ideas from one another). One thing I 
particularly like is the client/server model Myth has. I only need one 
backend video capture machine, and multiple client machines can view 
the TV shows. But I digress... Time for z's, so I don't fall asleep at 
the GSLUG meeting. ;p
