dw, what's that about a 30-second skip?

there's no 30-second skip in their proprietary DVR.

There's none on my TiVo either - have they worked out how to hack the (I think) 2G?

Also, I just realized that I am a telepathic genius, apparently. I realized this morning that I'm about to run out of toilet paper, completely forgetting that I bought a roll of stupid paper at Target the other day, just because it was cute and on sale. Word.

For those who plan on sampling the WB's Supernatural, the first episode is (apparently) online: [link]

A very interesting tale of escaping Katrina (and what the city was like the weekend before she hit).

When playing something recorded on the TiVo:

Select-Play-Select-3-0-Select

You should here three "thumbs up" sounds.

Ages and ages ago, I wrote some code under the auspices of our tiny little website. And I sorta maintain it, it's in a plainly visible place, accessible by many, and basically, it because my responsibility because a) it made my life easier and b) no one else was going to do it.

Now the developers have gotten all in a tizzy and want to appropriate my code. Which is fine (well, except for the fact that they have a history of ignoring our requests for tools and then get pissy when we develop them ourselves. But that's something else, )but I'm sorta miffed they expect me to do all the work loading it into their code tracking system. Um, dudes? You want it, you come get it. You don't want me mucking about in your playground. I know NOTHING about it.

OK, now managers were in here discussing what the person moving in here will need. Boy, don't I feel warm and fuzzy.

Now I need a nap.

Yeah, last time I checked, that hack didn't work on all TiVos -- mine and Perkins, for sure. It'd be a shame if that were the only reason to switch over.

Today=hectic.

Today=not over.

Your values of today also = mine. BUT

tonight=Agassi v. Blake live and in person

so I will not complain.
