Hey. New board.

Gmail is failing me. But that Daily Show iTunes thing? Totally awesome. The automatic downloading is a killer feature for me - I've never gotten into TDS enough to seek out the episodes every day on BT. And, really, $10 for 15 days worth of comedy? Nice!

this happened to me at nearly the same time last night. I wonder if the new beta calendar program is fucking up things.

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

Makes me wish I had a video iPod. I never have enough time to keep up with TDS and Colbert-- but I do have 22 minutes twice a day on the train...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Gmail was fine for me until y'all started talking about it. You bitches broke it, didn't you?!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apparently, labels will delay downloads of songs to increase CD sales...

But if the industry determines that restricting digital sales pays off with bigger album sales, fans may soon find the instant gratification of snapping up new songs online becoming a little less instant.

No one is talking about a wholesale shift away from the now-common practice of selling singles online ahead of new albums.

But even before Ne-Yo's big debut, some music executives fretted that they were offering too many songs too early, particularly from pop and R&B acts.

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

Mythbox update. After not working on configuration for awhile I set up the web interface which took about 5 minutes. The web interface is great, and easier to use than programming with the remote.

Next up, configuring automatic starting of everything and finding a time when it isn't recording to reboot and see if everything works.

Does anyone sell preconfigured MythTV boxes?

I think so, (I've thought about doing it myself, but then I think about support and dealing with the upcoming DRM issues and... no) but I don't know who exactly.

I think TiVO or the like is the way to go if you want something that just works out of the box and you don't have to ever screw with. OTOH, if you already have some computer parts sitting around and don't mind doing the configuration, then MythTV is pretty cool.
