Welcome back!
In a previous article I wrote about the decisions I was facing while attempting to set up a multimedia center for our family room. And if you don't mind, I'd like to explain what I've gotten up and running since then.
Hardware:
- Intel Core2 Quad @ 2.8ghz
- NVidia 9800 Pro
- no name IR Media Center Remote
- 'el cheap-o' home stereo unit
- television
Software:
The specifics of the additional hardware, I'm not going into at this time as it would take an additional page to fill that stuff out. But, as you can see, I've got both Boxee and XBMC installed on the same machine. This is because I like watching stuff on Netflix, which I haven't figured out how to incorporate into XBMC yet but Boxee manages to have built in support for. I could get rid of XBMC all together, but sometimes it's nice to go to a different room and watch videos that are on the main tower in the family room, and so far XBMC is the only way that will let me do this.
And on to the "How-To"...

Hi,
I just wanted to give everybody a heads up, since there seems to be absolutely no traffic to my side project...
Just a re-post from the main page of http://our-story.us/
Site off-line
Due to lack of interest or activity by anybody at all, I will no longer be supporting this site.
The domain renewal is coming up in October and I will not be renewing it.
Thank you for your absolute lack of interest.
Sincerely,
Gregory
Thanks, and have a great day.

 You know, sometimes you just have to make or do something for yourself & afterwards, it seems like a great idea to give it to everybody else. This is almost one of those things...
I've gone a created a script for accessing the "Afghanistan War Diaries" when installed on a local/private server.
Getting and installing the SQL version of the reports is up to you. I will not host them, so don't even ask. But a nice tool to have in your SQL management inventory is "BigDump.php", which comes in handy with these super huge SQL Dumps.
To get you started using this script, you will need the SQL version of the "War Diaries", a system running both PHP5 and MySQL, and my script(link at bottom of article).

 A guy shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son."
He answered, "That's okay."
"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."
She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mother." The little old lady waved and smiled back at him.
Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries. "That comes to $121.85," said the clerk. "How come so much. I only bought 5 items.
The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd pay for her things, too. "
Do not trust all little Old Ladies..
