What's the current thinking on leaving film in checked luggage versus taking it in your carry-on?

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

I keep film in carryon. You will know what scans it goes through and can get stuff manually inspected based on that knowledge.

Has anyone tried out Songbird yet?

From the comments, it appears to be in early beta, with lots of bugs and crashes. It seems like the only advantage it has over iTunes right now is that you'll be able to connect to different stores (not just Apple's). But it doesn't yet synch with iPods so you'll still need to use iTunes for that. As someone who buys very little music online, I don't see the appeal. But I could see using it in the future if the open source architecture brings forth other iTunes-killing advantages.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've been meaning to do that when I have money.

I also had an idea for putting a color TV with remote control into one of my Mac Plus machines...

TiVo users! This application rocks: >[link]

I love that program. I used to do the conversion manually using a different process but I discovered DSD when I had to wipe my hard drive and I lost the tools I was using for the conversion. It's a whole lot easier and faster, too.

Jon, I found another program that converts .tivo files to a format for my palm that I like, but I will have to try the program you linked to when I get home.

Despite downloading various DVD codecs and following all the guidelines on the TiVo website, as well as searching and posting in the community forums, I'd been unable to view any of my TiVotoGo files. WMP would freeze up whenever I tried. With the DSD conversion app, I can watch them no problemo.

Or you could just get the TiVo with DVD burner. It rocks! :)
