Ok. Actually, just figured out the monitor thing. I had it set to be an extension of my laptop screen. Had to right click on the Targus icon to fix that. So, nebbermind on that. Still curious about the adapter, but about to go google.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

In vw is an idiot news, the PS2 part of the keyboard and mouse pulls off to get the USB. Yes, they got to point that out at Best Buy.
Hopefully all is now well. I have a new monitor, and I'm about to hook everything up.

I'm in the process of switching DH's website over to a Wordpress blog, and I'm wondering what's the best way to handle the data migration from the old database?
Wordpress has built-in tools for importing old blogs from LJ, Blogger, etc, but nothing for importing content from a regular old MySQL database.
Short of manually copy-pasting all of the old articles into Wordpress as blog entries (and then manually changing all the entry dates)...any ideas? I could always just leave them where they are and put up a link to the old site, but I'd like to consolidate everything if I can (and also take advantage of Wordpress' categories & search functionality, etc).

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

What other import options are there? Maybe it can import some sort of text file (or other file) that MySQL can export to?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My TiVo is acting up. Since yesterday it's been behaving like I'm squatting on remote buttons, like I'm hitting (say) FF and not coming off it. I know it's not the remote since it's doing this in response to both the TiVo remote and the Harmony.
At first it was just annoying when it came to FFing and then stopping once the ads were over, but now I can't really do much of everything.
It also doesn't seem to be changing the cable box's channel away from its last successful recording.
I'm about to dive into TiVo tech support, but wanted to toss the symptoms out here in case they rang a bell for anyone...

Are you using Bonjour, ita? Tivo seems to interpret Bonjour queries erratically under some circumstances.

The closest thing to a text file is an rss feed -- all the other options are other blogging services. (Blogger, Blogware, Dotclear, Greymatter, LJ, Typepad, Textpattern, Wordpress)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My impression from how long it took Sars to change Tomato Nation over is that there is no easy way. But you could ask her?

I'm not using it any more than I used to be--I mean, nothing's changed on my network, I don't think. My OS X box is going to default to using it, right?
