Anybody have the recipe?

On July 27, 2009, in Miscellaneous, by David

Ever since MJ Java downtown shut down, I’ve been craving the chicken salad sandwich on marble bread they had there. Oooommmm… that was good, with a “bag of boiled eggs” to go with it. Nothing else. I wasn’t into the coffee so much, but I loved that chicken salad sandwich.

And then, like a thief in the night (or over a weekend), they shut it down, supposedly due to the economy and less traffic i8n the 1299 Farnam building. I don’t buy it, I’m sure there’s a conspiracy theory out there about the real reason it shut down.

Are there any satellite MJ Java locations still open? Seems like the web site is still up, and advertises locations at 6102 Irvington Rd and the MCC South  Coffee bar. Wonder if they have any chicken salad sandwiches?

 

Biting the bullet with MythTV 0.20.1

On July 15, 2009, in Miscellaneous, by David

mythfrontendWell, its about that time. The time to take a couple days vacation from the real world and get the MytvTV box upgraded from 0.20.1 to .21.

A person wouldn’t think it’d be too hard, but a MythTV upgrade ain’t for the faint of heart. I can backup the database in my sleep, but if “somebody” ends up losing 35 Oprah episodes because of it, I’m going to have bigger problems on my hands.

On one hand, my MythTV box has been pretty stable, the only problem being with changing the DirecTV channel with the infrared LIRC software. Sometimes I have to change to channel 3 before changing to some of the “higher” channels because something times out too soon, and MythTV bitches about something wrong with the backend.

Anyway, that’s the only issue I’ve had with this version, running over a year on Fedora 8. Maybe I should upgrade that too, or wait until MythTV .22 is out, which should be soon. Version .22 has a better theme (Terra)  than the original G.A.N.T or MythCenter theme.

Quotes that Matt Perrault refuses to own

On July 10, 2009, in Quarrels, by David

See…I don’t lie :)
Source – Twitter 1:29 PM Jul 8th

This may be the best quote from Matt Perrault (blogger and infrequent AM radio co-host) that I’ve heard. Matt got upset when his own quotes were posted on a web site and he threatened legal action against what he believed to be defamation and libel, and threatened to sue EVERYBODY for ANYTHING they said about him.

Below is the complete list of quotes that were cycled through on mattperrault.com. Some show his ignorance, some bring to light his ego, some are his famous predictions, some show his neediess, some point out his foibles, but they are all memorable, in my opinion anyway. Your mileage may vary.

Matt claims that the “majority” of the quotes are fake with these statements…

Just FYI – the majority of this “quotes” are fake and I will take this fight to the fullest extent of the law. Defamation is happening IMO

just got worse cause now the quotes are FAKE.”
Source – Twitter 11:58 PM Jul 8th

The quotes are fabricated and flipped. I never said the majority of what you put up there
Source – Email to me 7/8/2009.

So, I’ve taken the liberty to list ALL the quotes that were in rotation at mattperrault.com, and attribute each one to the source of it, most are from Twitter or his own blog. You’ll find out that Matt Perrault, is indeed, a liar. Maybe he can sue himself for some kind of fabricated libel.

[a whole buncha] published quotes, maybe (until I finish going through podcasts) 6 of them can’t be reproduced exactly (due to paraphrasing or not having the exact podcast).

UPDATED 10/02/2009

UPDATED: 6/15/2009 – I removed one quote regarding Jade McCarthy and Charles Barkley, but supposedly, I’m being sent the podcast for it. So if/when I get that, I might change my mind, but then again, it’s just radio dude. This was Matt’s demand. I’m not sure who the other parties are, but I hope it’s not Joe Buck.

I am only going to say this once.

Remove the post about Charles Barkley and Jade.  I never said ANYTHING like what you are attributing to me.  I don’t care about anything else on your obsession site but that is post is a lie and will cause other parties to get involved.
