Posted by Kevin, on March 11th, 2005 My last post on this subject was me bitching about the response time to a question I sent to Plextor’s sales department in an email. While I was disappointed with how slow they were to respond, they did eventually answer my questions. I was asking why their ConvertX PVR didn’t seem to be available in their Canadian online store. They replied with the following: Unfortunately, the CovertX TV402U is not available in Canada yet due to a limitation of the EPG. There is currently no software support for the channel guide/listings for Canada. We hope to have a resolution in the near future. Please stay tuned! [...]
Posted by Kevin, on March 9th, 2005 I was reading this post on my friend Boris’ site which mentions he was considering getting a convertX box which is made by Plextor. The convertX is a PVR solution for the mac which used a USB 2.0 interface. It is comparable to the Elgato EyeTV product and in fact uses the Elgato software for the mac.

Posted by Kevin, on March 9th, 2005 Well after a week of rest, I started running again last night. It was a short run, only 3 miles, but I picked up the pace a bit from what I normally do. I felt good during and after the run so perhaps my week off did me some good. Tonight is a 6 mile run, followed by another 3 miles on Thursday. Then on Saturday I get to do a half marathon, the distance, not an actual race. Was talking to Steve on Saturday and he said that I had better start running outside soon or else I’m in for a big shock. Duly noted, but unless it’s warm enough outside on Saturday (it actually is looking like it [...]
Posted by Kevin, on March 1st, 2005 Well it’s settled, I’m taking a week off from my training. My body was telling me that it just couldn’t keep going at the pace I was doing. The weird thing is that it’s been my shoulders that have really been bothering me. I’m sure it’s because I haven’t been eating that great. I’m hoping to get myself a new pair of sneakers before starting my training again too. Here’s hoping a week off will do me some good. [...]
