Nad is heading back out to Kansas at the end of the week. She’ll be gone for three weeks. After that, she’s back here for two weeks, then back out on assignment for another two months. Who do you think she misses most when she’s out there? Me? The cats? Neither! The DVR is who she misses most, because its got all of her episodes of Passions, Days of Our Lives, Real World and Road Rules.
To help her feel less homesick, I bought a Slingbox today, a neat little device that broadcasts your TV across the interweb. After setting up the device, which was very simple, I installed the software on Nad’s Media Center PC and her work notebook, both of which were very easy.
As I type this entry, the Sling Player (the program the displays the TV program) is running in the background. Take a look at what it looks like while playing one of those awful PSP commercials:
I should also add that Nad’s work notebook freakin’ rocks. It is an hp nc6000. What impresses me about it is that for the last hour I have been running on battery power while typing this entry, surfing the net, and streaming Comedy Central shows wirelessly without a hiccup in performance. If I ever get around to buying a new notebook, I will buy one of these.
It’s official…my husband is a nerd…
I like the program a lot! It will definitely help me to keep up with my shows while I go numb stuffing envelopes in Kansas. And despite what Will says, I do miss him and the girls quite a bit when I travel!!!
