Started working on this today. Using a junker laptop and an old webcam I was able to set up remote monitoring of the BBQ. Now I dont need to run out there and see the temperature of the Q, or the temperature of the meat. I have lots more planned for this one..

Was trying to install a dual boot osx/ubuntu 11.04 on my old macbook. ubuntu had all kinds of problems until I found that I needed to turn off ACPI. Once i did that everything was good. In one of the early menus, you have that option. I think it's F6 or settings, and then it is the first setting. Make sure there is an X there (it is kind of odd - does the X enable or disable? Who knows just make sure that is there)
And once everything is installed, you will need to edit your kernel line of the grub conf and add acpi=off

I am getting better! The first time is from 5/21. So in 2 months I dropped over 4 minutes!
And instead of being 4th to last, I beat 30 people!

With Back To The Future for the IPad onsale for $0 this week, I took the time to play through it. It took about 2 hours to get through the entire thing. It was pretty fun, although the end of the game showed marty being the inventor, which is not very true to the movies. Great scene with Biff wearing Doc's mind reading device and having it stocked with beer cans. Pretty fun. I want to play through the rest of the games, this was just the first of the series. I think there are currently 4 total. I am just not sure if they are worth the asking price..
