Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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