About me
Been working with computers since I was 5 years old, my dad worked for a computer company and brought systems home.
My first personal computer was a Tandy 1000SX, ah the good ol' days of an 8088 chip and 256k ram.
I built my first Myth system about in late 2004. It was a combo server with a PVR-350 as the only capture card. In early 2005, when the whole broadcast flag scare was in effect, I added a PcHDTV HD-3000 card. Later that year I got 2 HD-5000's. I got a 3rd HD-5000 to replace the PcHDTV HD-3000 the following year so I didn't have to mickey mouse the drivers every time I upgraded the kernel.
Gentoo has always been my favorite flavor of linux. So much so that when the developers of Myth switched to SVN I modified the CVS ebuilds available on the lists to download from SVN. I'm still using these ebuilds thou slightly tweaked with new ones for some of the more recent plugins.
