'The Killer In Me'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'll give that to them as a backup, TB.
I went into Swivel search on my TiVo, and it seems to have been updated--I opted in and it's let me do some stuff more like what was described for the S4 search. It was able to automatically construct a wishlist search for an episode that's not up in the next couple weeks, and that's the only thing on the search description I was really missing.
Folders4Gmail update came through this morning! Yay!
Anyone familiar with Microsoft's IIS Server? We've got a webpage that runs a stored procedure that takes about four or five minutes. But the server just returns an error 500 (due to, I assume, something timing out).
On our development server, I just had to change the connection timeout (in IIS) to get around the problem, but this doesn't work on our client's production server. (Our development server has a later version of IIS.)
eta: Nebber mind - it turned out to be the .asp page timing out, which is fixable.
What Do You Suggest? is a site that lets you visually explore how Google Suggest autocompletes a query. "What Do You Suggest takes a seed from you, then guides you on a journey through language and the collective lives of Google users."
It's cool - it shows a bunch of autocomplete options, with the thickness of the line indicating how many matches you'd get for each branch.
I just showed my age, big time, by copping to having used the internet before the web. And copping to have used Mosaic as my first browser. I feel old and...well, old.
But I'm really startled at the guy who got into IT because of Doom. I thought he was older school than that.
Mosaic was my first browser too!
I had to spend the better part of 10 minutes in a class on Monday explain what Telnet was to a student. He could not wrap his head around a text based connection between computers.
I remember logging into my dial up Delphi account so that I could use Gopher.
Also lots of chatting with friends back in California using TALK and YTALK.
