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!
Wordpress has built-in tools for importing old blogs from LJ, Blogger, etc, but nothing for importing content from a regular old MySQL database.
What other import options are there? Maybe it can import some sort of text file (or other file) that MySQL can export to?
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...
Beuller?
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)
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?
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?
ita, you've restarted your tivo, right?
Yep, once. Made no difference. I can't contact it through the OS X widget that I check up on it with from my Powerbook, so now I'm going to turn on my PC and see if TiVo server can talk to it fine.
do you think it is the power supply?
If you haven't changed how you use it, Bonjour probably isn't the problem, but it is squirrelly. I can have it be the protocol used VNC, but if iChat tries to find things on the network using Bonjour the Tivo goes haywire.
That's a weird collection of symptoms. I can't think what would connect all that.
