Today was a day of sitting around. Got back to church and my brother was watching the Vikings (I remembered to connect the DTV tuner before I left), so sat around a bit. After that was reading and listening for a while. Eventually did a little cleanup around the house, and ended up deciding to bring down and hook up the rear surrounds to bring it to 7.1. Went to calibrate them and discovered my sub had become disconnected. Not really sure how long that's been that way, as I generally am listening to music and the sub isn't used much (most of the bass goes to the front speakers). Got that all hooked up and ran the level checks, crossover sweeps, and rattle checks. Yea, they have tests that are specifically designed to test if there's stuff that rattles too much in the room. :) I did discover the upper frequency limits of my speakers though. That or my ears and the SPL meter both drop off in the same place (just under 20kHz). Apparently it's running slightly above reference too, oh well. After that did more reading and ended up starting to read some BGP course that's under the Creative Commons license. It's pretty interesting so far. I figured I'd learn a lot, but somehow I've apparently managed to pick up most of how eBGP works just from other discussions. iBGP seems like it could be finicky though, and is definitely designed for a centrally managed system (doesn't scale well and requires some manual config). OK, too much geeky stuff. JoeBuck™ came over and we watched Two Towers. Overall a good movie, even though I've seen the original 2-3 times and the extended 2-3 times. It's my favorite of the first two I think, but we'll see what happens when I get RotK. JoeBuck™ and I are both more excited about RotK now. They added almost an hour! Should be fun times on Wednesday.
