I just wanted to update a post here mainly so I can stay in the habit of doing so.

I am still trying to find out how to install my Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro USB soundcard in linux (it doesn’t look promising).  I cannot get my FusionHDTV 5 Gold plus card working.  I think I am just going to wait for Knoppmyth to include MythTV .19 cause I think it will have newer video4linux drivers.  Until then my desktop will still be my PVR.

I have a bunch of stuff ordered for my mr2 and things are coming along nicely.  Breaks and bushings should be here real soon and my clutch will be here tomorrow.  I am going to see what I can do about the leaky ttops and lack of heater but those parts should also be on their way.  As soon as this stuff is all done and working I can focus on the AC and then the paint.  I am liking this car the more I drive it :)  the 30 mpg helps too.  I will try to take some update pictures of all my progress soon.
Other than these things I really need to/want to learn PHP so I can help Beth with her website and I can write some parsing tools to make my job easier.
