So I’ve been trying implement livesearch because I’m bored. Try going to that website and type something to search for in, but don’t press enter… cool huh? The MovableType variant of this I’m working from even ranks searches with percents. I’ve just got to get the javascript to trigger the php script which generates the results. Once I get that working, I’ve just got to add some styles so that the list looks good. Did I mention that I thought it was only like 1:30 when I opened Ecto to write this? Time to sleep….

So we got the TV exchanged today and the sound port that was busted on the old now works on the new one. The progressive scan also produced the same crappy image until I used the old, cheap, incredibly crappy looking component cables from the den and moving them away from the cables on the floor. Oh yah! DVDs, XBox, and Over The Air HDTV look great on the new TV. DirecTV (and thus all it’s old style brethren such as cable, Dish, etc) looked bad because it’s broadcast in standard definition. I’ll live with it, since I’ll get more use out of the stuff that outputs in better quality. I’m going to look into HD DirecTV as summer approaches, but unless the equipment gets cheaper I’ll be enjoying the same thing I am now. I’ve got work today, so I need to sleep….
Awesome Christmas here. I got my new HDTV on Christmas Eve. It’s a very spiffy 30″ Samsung HDTV with a built in OTA ATSC Tuner, which means it pulls HDTV over the air. The only bad news is that the Progressive Scan has started to produce images that look worse than interlaced (Progressive == Computer Image, one pass to draw; Interlaced == picture drawn in two passes (action looks worse in interlaced than in progressive)). I also got Return of the King Special Extended Edition. The parents also got me one of those Tempurpedic pillows, but it’s so stiff I hate it. We’ll probably go to exchange the TV tomorrow. Argh
