I end up traveling a fair amount for work and occasionally end up with loose photos ranging from the one off shot to mobile uploads. These shots documenting the rare glimmer of something-or-another are forever immortalized in this flickr set. Click the image below for the ever updating captures.
Welcome to the new JohnMilner.com. A wile back I got lazy and sort of stopped updating the site. I’ve decided to try and be more proactive at posting. To celebrate this “relaunch” I’ve been working over the past two months to redesign the site. Regular visitors (I think that would be only me) will have seen the slow implementation of changes to the site.
Highlighting a few changes besides the design, first, I’ve added a new tab at the top for my tumblr like blog, Tumblelog, for more “life streaming” posts (for now these posts will also appear on the home page). Second, the other new tab at the top for photography will link to posts and galleries I’ve posted. Otherwise the updates are mostly cosmetic.
Besides linking to my John Milner twitter account on the right side, I’ve decided to test out a new twitter account that will post blog updates (will post more on this later), so feel free to grab the RSS feed or email updates on the right side or the blog update twitter feed here at @JMBlogUpdate.

If you haven’t figured out yet Comcast’s Cable service sucks! I have had nothing but trouble with them since becoming a customer, I spend more time dealing with poor customer service than I do watching cable. Its absolutely ridiculous. My latest problem’s and the straw that broke the camels back, was more then a week ago when an installer came to provide new equipment and left me without my old working equipment and without working cable because he didn’t want to wait!Comcast’s proposed resolution, wait 5 days for another tech. Are you kidding me? you killed my service and I now have to wait 5 days for you to fix it! 
A quick background, for the last 2.5 years I have been using a cheap Dell media center PC as my DVR system. It has worked great in the past and i really like the interface. However, this summer i bought a new 52″ HDTV and got HD service from Comcast. As one might expect the output from the Media Center PC to the new TV was very poor over s-video or VGA so upgraded the video card and now over HDMI the monitor looks crystal clear, as it should. That said the Comcast picture quality (SD) is pretty poor in my area(a lot of washed out channels). I’ve experienced this in all the buildings I’ve lived in the DC area for the last few years (so it wasn’t anything new). With OK SD input into my Media Center PC (yes, Microsoft also degrades the picture quality) the TV output even on HDMI was pretty poor on a big screen. Not the mention the age of the Media Center PC (its starting to go) and the fact I’ve been paying for HD service and use it infrequently (as it requires changing over to a different box) I decided to buy a TiVo HD.
A friend emailed me this cartoon, thought it was quite fitting for next week.

So after a long time of sitting on the sidelines lurking along the web I have finally decided to get with the times and go live with this blog. Visit my about page for info about myself.
