Test post - let's see if this works.
Might be a little easier to do it this way than to be making emails and sending that. Not sure how it'll work for images and such though - need to look into that.

Still going with the A/V system
Boy, am I a glutton for punishment.
Having spent all that time working on getting the tv system all set up I am now about to go and pull it all apart again.
Actually, it's not that bad. I'll be adding a PC loaded with movies to be a poor mans Media Center and it's just a basic re-wiring of the connections. It should just be a matter of connecting it to the back of the telly, but it does not have enough inputs.
I picked up a little switchbox to connect everything together, so we'll see how it goes.
Wish me luck!

New project (yet again)
Well, the new project, Orbital Cauldron is coming along nicely.
It's nothing flash yet, but it is shaping up to be interesting. Not much to report, just a quick note today.

To-do list
Okay, have a few projects on the burner at the moment.
I need to pick up a few cables in order to get the media PC hooked up to the tv, I want to grab a shelf (or something) to stick said PC on and I want to get a footrest so that if I am spending large amounts of time on the computer writing then I can get a better seating position.
The new gOS is working out okay. It's not the fantastic thing I thought it was going to be, but I'm still willing to stick with it a while longer and see how it goes.
The main thing I am on the lookout for at the moment is a quick and easy way to upload blog posts here to blogger. I find the login system on the site to be a little clunky and if I can find a way to be in an editor and click on button to send the post to the site then that would be awesome.
Not a whole lot new going down, but slowly plodding along.

From GMail
Let's see how this works. This is a post made via email from GMail.
Hand-coded link: <a href="http://www.google.com.au/">Link to Google</a>. Same, but using editor: Google
Would try an image, but don't have a little one to try out. I won't put the closing tag to see if GMail adds anything to the bottom.

Orbital Cauldron
Well, I've picked up the site Orbital Cauldron. I've started working on it to try and make it into something that people might one day want to use.
I doubt that it'll be anything particularly fancy, but so long as there is some participation going on, then I'll be happy.

gOS
Just installed the spanky new gOS - the supposed "Google" Operating System.
Technically, it's a distro of Ubuntu but it is geared to integrating with a lot of the applications and services offered by Google. This means that the computer it runs on can be less powerful (I've put an old PC to work) and it uses the new "cloud computing" fancy stuffs.
Half the point of getting it was to make it easy to use Blogger, but the "Blogger" function in the system just launches Firefox to the blogger site.
We'll see how it goes.
