Lounge of Tomorrow

Can you expand your current TiVo? hacking a larger hard drive isn't that difficult. Here is just one of a gazillion how-to sites on the web. I am assuming you are on a standard Series 2 - I don't recall you getting an HD TiVo.

Because I like to contribute anecdotal evidence that will be interpreted as part of a pattern rather than simple coincidence:

This morning, driving to work, I was rear-ended by a pick-up truck three cars behind me.

Both me and my car are fine (there's a small scratch on my bumper but I couldn't say with 100% certainty it is new). However, the two cars between us (and the women in them) were more beat up.

Not spending 3 hours on the intarwebs is part of my new anti-procrastination measures.

How can I get the intarwebs faster?

My system is set up that I can watch one thing through the TV while recording something else via TiVO. I just can't rewind what I watch through the TV (and I know I can watch one recorded show while recording another - but this doesn't help when I have 2 shows on at the same time).

See, if you moved up here, not only is the job market better but I could help you hack your TiVo having done two of them myself.

I bought a "netbook," an absurdly cute little mini-laptop, the Acer Aspire One. (It was also dirt cheap - 325 bucks at Amazon.) It's surprisingly easy to type on, given the size. Also, it has an international keyboard, so the € symbol is right there on the 5 key. This model runs on Linux, so I remain Windows-free. Whee! I just had to share.

Yup, Ya gotta love the new Netbooks. I picked up one for Moonie Junior. It easily runs everything he needs for school but is terrible for World Of Warcraft and it's ilk. Priceless.

Congrats on the laptop. I never knew what i was missing til i got my first one a year and a half ago. :) And it came in handy when i had to go to Bon Jovi and able to upload all my photos and videos off the memory card in my camera freeing up the space available without the laptop i don't know what i would have done lol...

Ya, but you're a Sharks fan and that is way to close to the Shark Tank for my liking ;)

I'm only a Sharks fan by geography. I'm here, they're here. If I lived there, I'd be a Ducks fan.
