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

WordPress is also available as a hosted service at wordpress.com; it's free and allows you to set up logins for multiple contributors (although I couldn't suss out from their TOS whether there's a limit on how many, nor what their limits are for storage, bandwidth, and the like).

I posted in Minearverse in spoiler font but had a link in the middle: why did the link not whitefont? Should I have used the font color=white thing instead of the "s" command?

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

You have to put the font thing again inside the t a tag. It has its own colour attributes.

Amych, it's not hosting that's the issue, so much as no software. The way Blogger lets you publish a blog to your own web host is kinda cool.

Thanks ita -- I'll remember that for the future. (It didn't really matter for the particular post.)

Series 3 TiVos will apparently retail for $800, and you can transfer your Series 2 lifetime subscription for $200.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Aren't they aware that electronics are supposed to get cheaper as they mature as a product?

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

I guess they figure they'll get the High Def TiVo early adopters, then drop the price later....

Our wings are not tired

When the HD DirectTivo came out is was $1000. By comparison this is becoming cheaper.

Still, I have a lifetime sub on a Series 2. I know I'll be looking at this offer.

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

On the other hand, I can get an HD-DVR from my cable company for $9/month, and have one fewer set-top boxes. Suddenly Tivo's extra features aren't looking so compelling.

($200 to transfer a lifetime sub is ridiculous -- that's more than I paid to buy it in the first place!)
