Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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!

Great, I have been sucked in to buying a new TiVo. :)

Be aware, that is the model of Tivo that requires two Cablecards, it will not work with a single multistream card.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My aging 5th gen (30GB) iPod won't hold a charge, and now the click wheel is becoming increasingly unresponsive. Worth taking to the Genius Bar to have the battery replaced, or should I just recycle it and buy a new one?

[Feh - And now I've realized it won't sync either - I've got it plugged in now and it's alternating between the apple logo and the sad-face Mac error message.]

[edit2 - Okay, I was able to restore it after all. Fingers crossed it will be able to play music again once it reloads everything!]

Nope. Click wheel still not responding. Time for a new one, I think.

Hmmm, iPad preorders start tomorrow at 5:30 AM Pacific Time. I'm trying to decide if I should set an alarm.

I have mine reserved for pickup! So excited!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Can anyone recommend a good online backup service? I'm paranoid about my laptop AND my external HD going kaplooey, or the house blowing up, or something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We've been using Mozy, which backs up fine. Haven't had to restore from it yet. Be prepared for the fact that your initial upload of files will take a while. Like, days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

One simple solution to this is to back up to another external HD, and keep the drive locked in a drawer at work.
