Kevin, I found this link to be most useful.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Okay! Thanks for the comments on pedometers. I'm going to go with the Nike+ with a workaround based on loads of reviews.
Now on to the Nano purchase...
Apple features two refurbished Nanos...a 1st generation 4gb is $129, a second generation is $169. 1st gen features 14 hour battery life. 2nd gen features 24 hour battery life and a 40% brighter screen (according to the lovely young woman at Apple I spoke to).
Question: Is the 2nd generation color case Nano appreciably better than the 1st generation black/white Nano?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Jon B, spent several hours pouring over that and the pages it linked to. Cheers, that was exactly what I was looking for.
I think I'm struggling to come to terms with Control meaning something else..

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know about screens, but the 2nd gen Nanos are definitely prettier than the 1st gen. I've got a black 1st gen and I covet the 2nd gens. Shiny.
Then again, I keep it in a protective (translucent plastic) case pretty much all the time, so I don't know how much extra love I would really give to the shiny if I had it.
BTW, after calibration, today I had an error of 5% on the first mile, but only 0.5% over the 1.8 miles I measured. Not sure what to make of that.
Please let me know how the workaround goes!

I'm a little concerned about the potential inaccuracy. I've read some bad stories, but even worse, none of the other brands I've researched gave any greater guarantee.
The workaround I'm going to try can be found at www.lacelid.com. I'm going to add a band of velcro, just to be safe. I'll keep you posted!

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

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

Yeah, that rings a bell, but I can't remember what it was either.

Hmm. Could be that. My memory is quite aged.
The dd-wrt is up and running, and I have both static DHCP (feels like an oxymoron) and DNSMasq running. For some reason my TiVo doesn't resolve for the XP box, but does for the OSX one.
Now I'm stuck trying to get PHP on the OS X box to talk to PostgreSQL on the XP. Despite having changed the "listen_addresses" string in the Postgres configuration file, I get nada. Not sure where the error lies. Back to some drawing board or another.
