From my Touch

Writing this with the Bloglines app, just to re-try the app. I bought it way back, but no pic post in previous versions put me off. Let's see how it does.

Weekend Wanderer

Ham and Tomatoes on Pumpernickel with salt and pepper! Yumm! I love varietal breads - Jewish Rye and Pumpernickel are my favorites. I don't get them very often, though. Need to correct that.

Twitpic has a new widget out, so I replaced the one I used to have on the sidebar on the right. I don't really Twitpic much, but its there anyway.

Had a good weekend with the Wife, The Oldest, and the Grand-kids. Had some Empanadas and they were good - The Oldest had made the meat stuffing earlier, and then filled and fried the wrapper thing when it was time. Good stuff, although when you fill you have to be careful not to get the stuffing on the edges of the wrapper, or you will never be able to pinch the suckers shut.

Ate at The Waffle House - and it is fast becoming my favorite traveling breakfast. I like their sweet tea, too. Might need to try and crack their recipe. I have been using 6 family sized tea bags and 1/2 cup of sugar in a one gallon jug for mine lately - I don't like mine too sweet and I got into making it dark for added flavor and caffeine.

Winding down the last little bit of Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. Lots of excitement, at the moment.

Cool Formatting Tricks

My Blu-Ray Player has a USB port on the back and I discovered that I can play MP4 video from a flash drive here. I tried increase capacity by using a HUGE 250 GB USB hard drive - but I couldn't get it to recognize. I suspected that the reason was the HD was formatted NTFS instead of FAT32, like the flash drive. Windows won't FAT32 a hard drive greater than 32 GB, so I found a utility that will allow a USB drive greater than 32 gigs to be formatted FAT32.

IT WORKED! I can now use my big honking USB HD to roll MP4 video on my Blu-Ray Player.

Cool Beans!

As always, if you try this and zorch your stuff, it's on you. I took a chance and it worked. Might not for you.

Webisodes

Up to Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica and about to rip through the 10 Webisodes that they had of Cylon Occupation on New Caprica. The first few disks in Season 3 are extremely hard hitting. I don't wat to spoil it for anyone who might want to look at it later, so I'll leave it at that.
