Ah. That decreases the chances that it will ever get done even further.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can do the shopping online. The rest of it involves the getting up.

That does help, because of the no need to interact with people thing, but I would still need to read the instructions and convince the cats that I am not playing hide and go-seek or Whee! let's chase the cables with them.
I think you should come visit instead.

Think of it as an investment in sloth. I've been known to schedule a recording over the internet from my home computer, which is approximately 2 feet from my sofa, which faces the television.

Dude, you're bad. I admit, I have the TiVo widget on my Powerbook, and I'll use that (while facing the TV) to see what's on the TiVo, but ... now that you mention it, that's kinda handy.
Perkins, what's in it for me?

I like the way you think.
That said, I dropped my phone line and hooked the Tivo up to the internet, and it's been a royal pain in the ass. It seems like it drops the signal about every two months and I have to go through the whole process of resetting the connection. Currently, it's claiming not to find a DCHP (is that right?) server via wireless or plugged into the cable modem, and I can't tell if it's my equipment (Tivo, modem, router, etc.) or something on my provider's side that's frelled. It's been a month now since I was able to connect, and I'm fucking pissed, but I don't know what to do about it.

Sushi and Tequila and some hella fun roads to drive fast on.
(Not together though)
(though if you the one driving fast, I could be eating sushi or drinking tequila)

Mine does that too -- I think the upstairs neighbors' wireless network is confusing it, poor dear, because it never did this in the old apartment. I've found that if I switch the network setting from "closed" to "peer-to-peer" and then back again, it usually does the trick.

Our wings are not tired
My Tivo connection has been rock solid on the internet since day one. I did it back when you had to pay for the home media option. I've been both wired and wireless. Currently I'm back to wired since I'm moving files on and off the tivo across my network and there's a slight speed advantage that way.

Does anyone have any thoughts, by the way, on where the problem is most likely to be?
