OK so now that some folks have had a chance to come over and visit my place I think I can safely say that I putting together a really nice place. Everyone who has come to the house has been pretty comfortable. And a few have actually had the life sucked out of them by my chair and sofa.

I still have a few items to finish up with. As you may have seen by the heaping pile of wires behind my entertainment center, it's not always that easy to set up a complete entertainment package. I'm having a hell of a time getting the PC sound card to play well with the stereo system. Actually I'm nit sure now if it is a problem with the PC. I can hook up a pair of external speakers and get sound without any issue. So I hooked my MP3 player up to the wiring and I get nothing out of the stereo system. So that cold mean it is the wiring or bad wires. What that all means is, it's back to the drawing board.

I started this whole thing of building an entertainment system that would fill all my needs. It sure sounded cool. Making it a reality is another matter. It really is a bitch to put all the components together and make them work right. Everyone who has had the opportunity to play with it sure has liked it, but it's a bear to put together and get every little bit working and functioning without compromise. I would never recommend that anyone try this at home. It should come with one of those warning labels. In fact I have a few friends that if they ever tried this I would have to disconnect my phone and be on the look out at the local post office for pictures of most wanted. I know for a fact that Wee and you know who you are, would invoke the full rather of the techie gods. They would surely go postal before they could get a set of system running and functioning together. It is at this point that I wish I could call in a professional to give a little help. But as usual, I'm too broke and to stubborn to ever let anyone else do it for me. I'll get it working yet.

Until then,
