Why does a blog run "silent" for one straight year?
I'm enjoying my MythTV box too much. Also, note the following:
- Before the one-year hiatus ever came about, I didn't write-up any details about upgrading from 0.15.1 to 0.16.
- I found that upgrading from 0.16 to 0.17 many months ago wasn't that big of a deal. It didn't bother a mention. Soon after, 0.18 was released; with the consolidation of so many MythTV packages into just three main components, if I even remember correctly, the upgrade was super-easy. Therefore, if I didn't mention 0.15.1->0.16->0.17, I certainly wasn't going to mention the easy 0.18 install.
- Note, since April 15, 2005 there has not been a major release of MythTV to speak of - I opted away from the 0.18.1 release because it didn't seem to be advantageous to my particular system.
- Whenever a little problem came up, I would just refer back to prior posts.
- No one has submitted viewer mail, as viewership has declined rapidly in the past year.
- The HDTV Broadcast Flag suffered a setback in the US courts, and so the planned purchase of an HD-3000 never materialized. However, the contingency fund is there should the Broadcast Flag ever be made manifest.
- In July, two things happened: I got a job and I moved to new apartment with less cable channels. Therefore, I have no time to write about shows I cannot watch. Or something.
- There was no great recording of the Aussie Rules Grand Final with St. Kilda, because they choked.
- Even I stopped making this page my home page, though the slight uptick in hits in August could be me not yet masking my own visits as hits (from my new apartment/IP).
