Toshiba has something of the sort coming on line as well.

Nope, a competitor, and apparently beat Toshiba to it.

Coding and Sleeping

First recording with commercials on the Myth box appears to have worked perfectly. The commericals were cut out completely leaving out a brief fade to black and back.

I haven't have much time to mess with it, but even in it's incomplete state, the MythBox is awesome. The only problem is that now I have to work configuring it around it's scheduled recording times. Still need to make sure that SSH is configured and working, gotta get the web server starting up and add access control, gotta add network icons to pretty up the display, and gotta set it all up to start mythTV automatically. Then comes the quieting and putting in the ethernet cable to the living room.

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

Would putting that under your desk be useful? Or would it have to be on top?

Under might work most of the time, but on top would be more likely to catch the strong trigger scents before they reach you. It does blow air out in a relatively directional way which might make your legs cold if it's under the desk.

Something like this [link] might be more useful for under the desk. I don't know anything about this particular one, but it has less of a front/back than the Holmes.

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

Oh my. I think I'm their target market:

Top 10 Geek Watches

If geeking out on the details is your thing, this Frank Gehry- designed Negative/Positive Display watch may be right up your alley. The watch screen features the architect’s own script, displaying time in shorthand: “half past 11,” “6 til 1,” etc. Another neat design quirk about this watch, which we originally saw back in January, is the positive display during the day, which automatically switches to a negative display during the night.

Want.

I love the nixie watch, and wish it could be smaller.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've been lusting after that Gehry watch for over a year now. I should just get it already.
