Probably some cool website or download that I wanted to share with others (or remember myself).

MythTV Star Trek Theme

The MythTV theming challenge comes to a close Sunday January 31st and the entries are starting to show up on the MythTV theming mailing list. Here is one that showed up that I am very excited about. It was created by Gary Butters (not me). If you already have MythTV set up you can grab

Winter 2009 Theme Pack for Windows 7

Greetings 1n73r.net readers! I am excited to be here for my first post where I will be creating and posting Windows 7 themes for you. In case you don’t know, when Windows 7 was released it came with a great feature for creating customizable themes. These themes include the Desktop Background, Sounds, Window Color, and

Windows 7 RC Login Background

I installed the latest Windows 7 RC because I wanted to try it out and I needed to do something with my media computer. When I first went to log in I saw the login screen background and thought it was great! Unfortunately, you can’t set that picture as a background within Windows 7 (it

How-To Create a UBUD

Catching up

I have had quite a few articles and tools that I have been wanting to post here but I haven’t made the time to do it. So I guess I am just going to make one big post for all of them. Most of these tools came from the wonderful How-to Geek but there are

Pidgin plugins

Pidgin comes with some phenomenal plugins by default (see psychic mode). But there were still a couple other things I wanted to have available to me. The main thing I wanted was the buddy list to be visible but without having the “Pidgin” taskbar entry. I did a quick search and came across Pidgin Extended

Weekend Update

I should have some good pictures of pumpkins sometime this week so I will post those as soon as I get them. I also just wanted to share a few tools I found over the past week (or two). The first I found over at Lifehacker and it is called NetDrive. It allows you to
