Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's set to "Permit All." And it was working fine until this morning -- I can't for the life of me figure out what's changed.

It wasn't connecting at all today, so I restarted the system, and now it's working, except that Norton suddenly thinks it's a worm, and is faithfully warning me every time it tries to connect.

[eta: Huh. Tivo Desktop can't find any DVRs. That's unsettling.]

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Jon, I might also suggest Partition Magic as a third-party utility to wipe the drive.

VW, for what it's worth, I've been having trouble with LJ staying logged in with my Opera for the past two days. IE has been just fine in the same time period.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Of course, I don't know if that'll work on a 200 GB drive without an outside formatting utility, which you can probably download from the manufacturer's website.

Western Digital's DOS based utility (downloaded from their web site) did the trick. Thanks DX!

Taking it out of Norton's list and putting it back in seems to have solved the Tivo problem. Unless of course it's just finished updating. I guess I'll know in half an hour.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How does one reformat an iPod HD? It's just totally frelled, and doing a restore multiple times hasn't helped....

eta: Crap. I can't even do a restore anymore without the iPod locking up.

Maybe tomorrow I'll try the iPod on a different computer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does anyone know of a good, ideally free tool for making pretty graphs of a large amount of raw statistics I'm gathering?

I don't know how much time you want to invest in this, but there is a highly regarded set of statistical/graphing tools available from the r-project, which is a collaborative freeware effort by academics. It's not the most user-friendly thing available but it's flexible, free, and very good.

On the very limited but easy side, you might be suprised at what Excel and Powerpoint can do now.
