What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I blame the RIAA.

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

Part of their clever scheme to replace every music website with a 404.

Maybe I shouldn't post this - it might give them ideas....

Always Anti-fascist!

Could somebody help me? I'm getting closed out of yahoo all the time lately... now it's because I need the latest flash player or something. I don't think my usual "When you don't know what to do, do nothing" plan is going to work again. This is probably a very stupid question.

It used to be a php page, but our php thingie is down so I created a static page as a stop-gap.

Eh. I just changed it to [link] and it works so I'm leaving it. I'll email the webmaster and let him sort it out.

I've got a quick dvd player question: why is it that homegrown dvds that play on my machine won't play on my friend's? And vice-versa? Is there anything that can be done about this?

(I say quick, because I'm guessing that the answer is no. It usually is.)

Could it be a DVD-R+ versus a DVD-R- incompatibility? Some older players can only read one or the other. Same thing for some older burners.

You can schedule tv shows from Yahoo TV listings on your Tivo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Final Fantasy fans agree?

Also -- more digital paper. Boggles my little mind.

It's not the plus/minus thing -- I tried a plus and a minus dvd and neither worked.

However, other homegrown dvds do -- it's all very odd.

I googled and found a list of disks that will/won't play on my machine. . . hmmmm
