Festive Season!

So the festive season is complete, and I’m back at work.

I had a really good festive season. Spent some time with the family, and time with Trang’s family as well. Spent an awesome couple of days with my dad, beginning construction of a new entertainment cabinet, which became particularly relevant later on in the holidays. Now all I need to do is finish it!

But I am, as you can see from my gamercard, really enjoying my 360. Especially since I bought a 42″ LCD 1080p TV. It. is. AWESOME.

It’s a Hitachi L42X01, in case you care, and I’m pretty happy with it, as you can tell. However, the HD tuner built in has a baffling omission: you can’t delete single channels from its database. Which means that I’m currently stuck with 20-odd channels of crap I don’t care at all about, with about 10 channels of crap I care slightly about.

I’ve also just ordered a component cable for the original xbox today - I don’t know if I’ll try to move my movie-playing functionality over to the 360 or not - probably not at this point.
