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?

Well, 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.

According to a recent twitter post. Matt Perrault made a statement that
the “new” Blue Jay Cafe was now his site.

Of course, Matt also doesn’t know what Follow Friday means as a twitter
user either, so maybe he’s just blowing smoke. I’ve sent a message to
the original owner of the Blue Jay Cafe, Freddie, to find out if Matt
bought the site, or as I suspect, he’s blowin’ smoke.

Matt moved the Blue Jay Cafe to the Rivals message board format, and
started charging people $10 a month to read his articles and participate
in the private forum on the Rivals message boards. Time will tell if
it’s a smart move or not, I suspect that it won’t. Matt got canned in
Omaha in March, and moved to Des Moines to join Ken Miller’s show. I
don’t know how he’s going to find the time to contribute to the new
bluejaycafe. He can’t even get his links working on his blog to promote
his radio show.

Matt Perrault tried message forums in Omaha on BigSports590. Both
attempts failed, and an exasperated Matt even admitted that
administering message boards were not his forte’ on teh internets. He
seems to rule with a pretty big iron hand. Some people questioned why he
was able to promote his show (which isn’t Creighton based), but he
didn’t allow anybody else to promote their Creighton blogs or articles.
Silly Matt!

I offered to start a new Creighton Blue Jay message board, but it was
quickly shot down by Matt, with him trying to insult me by telling me to
“stick to Todd and Tyler”. This coming from the guy that said “No
Manning will ever win the Super Bowl, not Archie, not Eli, and not
Peyton”, and bragged about how he didn’t need to use a “crutch” like a
co-partner on a radio show for people to listen to him.

So anyway, if there are some Creighton fans willing to join this
venture, at no cost to yourselves, please get in contact with me. I
already have some domain names registered, such as bluejaydeli.com,
thebluejaydeli.com, bluejaydiner.com, and thebluejaydiner.com. And
Freddie, let me know if you want, and can, make a change.
