Buffistas

You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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!

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

Either they got this wrong in the article or this is insane. Vista will page working data to a USB key? What the hell happens if it gets taken out? Besides, I don't want my USB flash memory being paged to, that can't be good for the longevity of my USE key.

Hopefully it's just an option.

tommy, how much do you want for it?

I was thinking $170 + $10 for regular USPS shipping. This would include the inline remote, but not the separate charger as I want to hang on to that. Also, I'd include a two-way cable (A USB and Firewire connector on one end, iPod connector on the other.) This is (I think) a little less than I could probably get on eBay, because it would save me the bother, and more Buffistas should have iPods.

Email me at profile address if you'r still interested.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I had to almost completely dismantle my neice's olympus digital camera in order to solder a bad connection. I can see why they charge so much for repair, it was very intricate.

I would like to keep the camera, but I did have fun repairing it.

It took me a while to be brave enough to take it all apart, tho. whew.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm putting together a MythTV PVR from spare computer equipment. Has anybody done this? I'm basing it on Fedora Core 4. So far I've install FC4, next step create a big-ass JFS partition to store the video (FC4 wouldn't do JFS at install for some reason)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

If I could fix it myself, I sure would. I hate the disposable society we have. I don't want to add more to the landfill.

Does anyone use Vonage?

For me, it seems to work great for calling people with regular phone service, but sucks for calling people with cell phones or with cable phone service. However, I read that it works well in reviews so I wonder if it's vonage or my sucktastic linksys router (+ VoIP) that is the problem.

I just signed up for it. My friend Monique uses it for her business line and had good things to say about it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know if she uses this thread, but I think msbelle uses it for business frequently.

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

My miserable Vonage experience is recounted here:

Now we have Time Warner's digital phone, and couldn't be happier.
