I was working on configuring my DVR to work with my current cable setup on Wednesday night and so I saw about five minutes of GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin’s speech, off and on as I labored to get things working (it is Linux after all). Based on the little that I saw, I have two things to say. First, she did not write that speech (or even have a hand in writing it), and that was obvious. Second, when she debates Joe Biden it will be over for her. It will be like if the internet is<\/em> a dump truck and it runs over her. She was so incorrectly informed on so many issues; it was ridiculous. How many issues can you show you are misinformed on in five minutes? It was an impressive feat of ignorance.<\/p>\n

On the TV front, it is working, but the cable setup is wonky. There are only 19 channels on the analog service :-( and I don’t yet have a cable box. Also, the signal strength coming off the wire is pitiful. I put it into a 4 way splitter and attenuated things to the point where I couldn’t get > 65% HD signal strength. With a two way splitter I get 75%, which works. I used to get 99% with a 4 way at my old place. Looks like I’ll be buying an amplified splitter, and getting a cable box. Hopefully it will be the same easy to control model as my last cable box, which, had a standard, open serial port on the back for that purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
