"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Television has been obtained! I'm glad I got the 42 inch, because the 47 would not have fit in the space. It is currently obtaining channel info. It's going to take a minute I think.

I looked long and hard at the Samsung (including a side trip to Best Buy to see it in person), but ultimately went with the Vizio. I checked Consumer Reports, CNet, and some online fora. Between price and warranty at Costco, it's the best deal.

Plus, I thought that the universe was trying to tell me something since there was one left and the woman who was standing there asked me if Vizio was a good brand because her Samsung had broken.

Fuck, it works, but the picture is black and white. I thougth that I had an HDMI cable in the Tivo box. I think I probably screwed up the color plugs or didn't push them all the way in. Color is fine in non-tivo mode.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Nothing is ever easy anymore.

I've done something wrong with delicious. Trying to sign in, it forced me to sign in with my Yahoo ID, which shows me bookmarks up to last September. I know I've bookmarked stuff with delicious since then, so apparently I have another delicious account, but I can't find or access it because every time I try to log in, it takes me to the Yahoo sign in. I'm gonna be mad if I've lost all those bookmarks.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I will need to get a new laptop sometime between now and August. It may well be one of those MacBooks.

The status is NOT quo.

I am dying for one of the 11” Airs after playing with ND’s for a couple of days. So awesome.

Zenkitty, I just checked and my account let me sign in normally but the sign in page does have a link that says "Do you have a Yahoo! account? Sign in with your Yahoo! ID." Can you get any satisfaction if you go to the Forgot Your Password? page?

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

What can I do when Finder doesn't authenticate to a shared drive (Linux)? I can ssh with those credentials just fine--I know the machine is up and on the network. But Finder hangs.

No matter what I do it takes me to a Yahoo login page. I have two Yahoo IDs and both of them are apparently now pointing to the same Delicious account, which hasn't been updated since September 2010. I tried to log in with the only other user name that I ever use, and it didn't recognize it, so I guess my more recent bookmarks are just vanished into the ether. Fuck.

Zenkitty, it looks like the delicious support forum [link] is responding to people with related problems. Also, you might try deleting Yahoo cookies or trying another browser.

But Finder hangs.

What protocol are you telling Finder to use?
