Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ginger beat me to it! I was just now digging around...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does anyone have any ideas about why my Tivo is telling me it's recording a show, the show is on, and yet why I try to play it back, Tivo is acting as if the show hasn't started/recorded anything yet. I checked all the connections, and they seem to be okay.

Lee,

the only thing I can tell you is maybe your cable is out?

I have a Wordpress/Dreamhost question. I recently upgraded DH's site to Wordpress 2.3, and now I need to re-customize the template. This is what Dreamhost says:

Upgrading will install the latest version of the software at the same URL, using the same database (and move your last installation to .old)

So if the current site is at www.nycfilmcritic.com/wordpress/, where do I plug the .old in to get to the old one?

I thought that too, but it wasn't. The tivo had just gotten stuck somehow. I ran it through the reset process, and now it seems to be working again.

Problem with thunderbird 2.06 and comcast email on XP home (full patched). Can send but not receive.

I had been upgrading thunderbird for years and thought that was the problem. I backed up mail and address books. Uninstalled thunderbird, physically removed both application data and actual program. Did a new download and clean install.

I can send mail. But downloading mail, thunderbird never asks me for my passord (which is actually the same as my SMTP outgoing password that works). Can't figure out what is going on. I have imported old address books, but not yet old mail. So I know I'm not getting old settings or an old hosed mailbox.

Typo Boy, Do you have any firewalls or AV running that can be turned off for a bit?

Have you tried leaving the SMTP password blank for now?

Hmmm. Is the name of the profile the same?

Perhaps Thunderbird has some entries in the XP registry that are causing the problem. (I don't think t5bird saves data there, but hey...)

Try setting up a new account.

Or go to

Tools>>Options>>Privacy>>Passwords>>View Stored Passwords

Delete any passwords related to either the new or old account. Even SMTP.
