Things you do while waiting for Sage 7?

[flavius]

I for one moved my server to the basement which was fun - and a lot of work.

How are you coping?

Well... Since we had water damage from all the snow melting. We had our vaulted, popcorn ceiling in the living room & kitchen scraped, repaired and replaced with textured & painted ceiling. In the process we've removed the boat anchor er 37" SD tube TV which is awaiting the daughter to take it with her to her apartment. And we'll be replacing it with a new Plasma.

That and I'm refreshing the GeekTonic blog a bit. Lots of new SageTV-Centric articles coming up - most of them after 7 arrives whenever that might be...

Umm...watch TV?

I picked mine up and moved it (along with everything else) to a new home five miles down the road. Now that was a lot of work, but it seems to never end. Maybe one day I will be moved in.

Toying with building a new Intel i3 HTPC running Windows 7 Media Center x64 with the Ceton 4-tuner card, and playing with DirecTV multi-room and Direct2PC. Sage, you shouldn't leave us idle for so long.

I guessed that Sage v7 would be released at the end of April/Start of May, so I jumped on a plane and went to New Zealand for 3 months.

Dune surfing was great

My Sage PC has been switched off the whole time. I'd leave it on for a couple of weeks unattended but thought 3 months was overdoing it a little - I don't want the house to burn down should the PSU fail!

I fly back on Friday - volcano permitting (fingers crossed) - just in time for the first v7 beta (everything else crossed).

Yeah, moving further away would have been much faster.

I tore a load bearing wall down to make a large cased opening, re-wired half my house for electric, cat5, coax, built in some shelves and ran speaker wire through the attic for my satellites. Dumped my 27" crt for a nice Aquos above the fireplace. Made provisions for a server closet with all communication lines routing to and from it. Upgraded and re-built server with quad core. Painted 1/3 of the house. Spent several days building a new plenum for the HVAC unit plus the sealing of every piece of ducting in the house (foolish business heating the crawl space). Just bought a new front door, will probably install that later this week. Re-plumbed my kitchen sink and installed a new faucet and reverse osmosis water filtration unit. Transplanted a bunch of azaleas and hostas and torched a bunch of bamboo that has been creeping into our yard. Still have to install a new chandelier, office light and several recessed lights in the family room. Sage you need to come out with v7 soon! I'm running out of things to do...

[Brent]

Um wrems. You think I could get you to stop by and help out with a few projects? Wow!

Went to San Diego for 6-months for work. I'm going through Sage withdrawl though. I thought I'd be OK with the Cable Company DVR but it just makes me miss Sage even more.

The interesting part is that I left my WHS system running at home and it's been running solid since I left, even with a power outage or two.

Otherwise there's my other never-ending project:



Somewhere in there I have to put in a new kitchen. If Sage starts releasing new versions next month I'm going to have to quit my job to keep up with all these other projects.

Nice. My dad has a '59 Power Wagon. It still gets used occasionally to haul in firewood. We used to use the front boom/winch to pull engines.

Aloha,

Thanks, I always wanted one, someday I might be able to drive it

Honestly that one's a basket case. It's currently a pile of parts and a rolling frame. Lots of work ahead of me but I'm just crazy enough to enjoy doing it so it might actually get done, once I figure out how.

Unfortunately it has given me a lot of time to investigate other options. I hope Sage can show us something soon.

Craig - you've been investigating new options for the past six years or so haven't you
