Are you using one of those IR things to change the channel on the cable box?

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!
At one point my tivo missed all channels with a 6 in them - I had to slow down the speed in which the channels changed.
Yeah, I ran into the weirdo '6' problem at one point. If you check TivoCommunity.com, you'll find a FAQ with frequent problems, and channel changing is one of the biggies. All you have to do is go into the menus and try different IR blaster settings.
Okay - I will try that.
In my house, it's also sometimes the cat's fault, or mine really, for leaving the remote on HIS couch.
Here's a question. Since the iPhone SDK needs an Intel Mac, I'm toying with the idea of buying a Macbook Air. Has anybody got one? As they any good?
Well, they've only been shipping over a month, hard to tell if there are any major flaws.
Other than needing a separate optical drive, or borrowing one from a nearby computer over the network, it looks like a fun machine.
Thanks for the GnuCash rec, DX. I was just looking for something like that.
Liquid ledger looks good.
I wish I were tough enough for the gnu cash installation. I feel like a wimp. But with all that I've got going on, the shortest, flattest learning curve is the way I must go.
Turns out that the quickbooks copy I have is NUE (new user edition) which seems to be less complex.
This may be a Natter question, given all the accounting savvy folks we have. If so, I will move it.
As a sole proprietor who has been bleeding money for the last few years (and turning that around, please all that is holy) my personal accounts ARE my business accounts...mixed personal and business expenses on all my credit cards and bank accounts.
Is there a simple strategy within accounting software to make this work?
Truly, nearly all my outgoings, except for food, are business related...even my rent, as my office is in my home.
