Awwww, the little PC that could.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

All is well that ends in pizza.
You may need to install a freon or LOX coolant system, DX.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Perhaps no one but me might find this useful, but....
Windows/Mac/Unix (Firefox): The Aging Tabs Firefox extension keeps an eye on your open Firefox tabs, highlighting your active tab and fading the aging tags that you haven't used in a while.
If you're someone who's perhaps a little too tab-happy in Firefox (a pack-rat for tabs, perhaps?), Aging tabs could be a great way to find the tabs that are ripe for the chopping block.
Not only do I tend to have multiple tabs open - I usually have multiple Firefox windows open, with multiple tabs open. Sometimes I even have Firefox open on multiple computers....

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Motorola DVR Possessed by Evil.
That's pretty much all of them. While I haven't had it think its full when it's not, my DVR has had all the other issues hers has and I'm on my 2nd DVR from Comcast.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Ha, tommy, that's totally me too. tab mix is great for letting me ctrl-tab through all my tabs to see what, exactly, I have open. but that'll be useful too.

When I first got a DVR, I immediately received a bad one and had to get it replaced. The one I got to replace it went bad in about a month. And the one I got to replace that one also went bad in a few weeks. The fourth one finally worked.
When I moved here, they were actually OUT OF DVRs because they were replacing so many, so they gave me a regular digital cable box initially. That box was bad.
The tech actually brought a couple DVRs with him in case one of them was obviously bad. I've had mine for a couple months now with no catastrophic problems, thankfully.
It just baffles me that they have SO MANY bad boxes, and they just sort of expect the customers to deal with it.

It looks like my Tivo might have a failing hard drive. I'm not really too surprised. It is about four years old I think. It has lifetime service so I'm going to replace the drive with one from Weaknees. I gave my series one to my parents and it is still running. It was one of the first series ones. It has been running since 1999 or maybe late 1998.
