Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've had that happen before, Stephanie. I left it unplugged overnight, and then it worked OK in the morning.

Stephanie, try pulling the plug and letting it cool down for a few minutes. Try the FAQ at www.tivocommunity.com for your next steps....

Thanks to both of you!

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

Anyone use Skype? Thoughts?

Hmm. Guess I'll just wait and deauthorize if it becomes a problem.

I'll try out Senuti--have you used it, Daniel?

Oh, weird. Hooked up my iPod prior to trying senuti, and iTunes actually said "you have purchased music on your ipod that's not on itunes, do you want to move it to itunes?" and DID IT! Yay. I may have had other stuff that wasn't backed up, but those were the things I really wanted or knew about...

Yeah, that's a new feature.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have. It worked well for me, to get all of my nephew's old music from the iPod he gave me into my own iTunes.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

So, Handbrake does seem pretty straightforward to use. But 25 minutes to encode an 8 minute video? Yowch. The tutorial on iPodLounge did warn that it would probably take a very very long time, but wowza. It's going to take all day to encode Beetlejuice, drat it.
