Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

You know, once in several years of owning two TiVos plus a VCR that can be set up to record separately, I've had a four-way legitimate cross-scheduling problem. Once.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yes, but with even 3 people in the household, you could, mathematically, max out that with a similar problem!
This is, of course, assuming that none of the programs they want to watch in a slot are the same. Which is not a negligible assumption.

No, a 11 tuner PVR is not really practical, but you have to just appreciate the sheer overdoingness of it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Because it goes to 11!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks. I had forgotten that iTunes didn't use the .M3U playlist. I just ended up making one myself for the TiVo. With the annoying way iTunes makes MP3 directories, I have to for it to be practical.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Gmail finally has a delete button! (WHY did they think this was such an optional feature for so long? Why??)

Art Crawl!!!
Have we really lost all our locked posts on lj or have they just gotten rid of the icons that tell us that our posts are locked?
Because I don't think that the posts that I am seeing on my lj were all public, yet they no longer tell you what level they are at.

I think they are in mid-tweak, and things haven't settled out yet.
