I’m almost ready to get around and do the newsletter. I’ve gotten the site stabilized and I just need to fix a few more quick links and then I’m done.
Really!
Cleaning
Jan 18th
I’ve found the yuckiest thing in the whole world: cleaning the bathroom. I don’t know how anybody does this on a sustained basis. I mean, how and where does all the dirt, grime, and other stuff come from? If I smell one more bit of bleach I think I’ll hurl. Guess its time to look into some cleaning staff.
It's Alive!

I’ve managed to bring back a Tivo unit from the dead, using only my skills as a l33t hax0r d00d. Actually I scoured the net and downloaded a bunch of images I then burned to CD and booted my test/home system to Linux to copy them over to the Tivo. All this after dismantling the Tivo completely. All I can say is when that stupid Tivo logo starts dancing on the TV I never thought I’d be so happy.
Next up: major size upgrade on the hard drive. Will the fun ever stop?
Tivo vs. Time
Jan 14th
I’m beginning to wonder about all of this Tivo hacking stuff. Since I first got my new SAT-T60 I’ve been consumed with programming. This now happens so often that much of it gets deleted automatically before I can view it. So, I’ve decided to upgrade the unit. Or so I think.
There is no less than a dozen ways to do the upgrade but each come with their own unique peril. Add to that a co-worker who wants hacks put in for the satellite card (these are DirecTivo units) and the desire for web based programming and there is the makings More >
Small Overhaul
Jan 12th
This site is slowly starting to get organized around the small amount of work I actually feel like doing to it. My blog has moved from the back burner to the front page, though some of the features like feedback have fallen out. I’ll add them back in when I can fix them.
In other news you’ll be seeing a newsletter shortly. I’ve gotten everything working on the script again, so it is just a matter of sitting down to actually write it. And I thought that would be the hardest part… live and learn.
I just returned from CES so I’m More >
Out of date
Jan 5th
Here it is, the new year already, and I haven’t posted since September. What happened? Work happened, I suppose. Well a new resolution for the year is to keep this thing more up to date, so lets see how long I keep it!
Fraud
Sep 28th
Well, looks like I’m getting taken to the cleaners. I bought something on eBay that looked OK on the surface but now appears to be a big scam. Several other folks are telling me that they too have been snookered, so looks like its time for the police to step in.
Of course, my money is already sent and gone. Man, sometimes people really suck!
It came and went
Sep 26th
Another week is almost gone and I’ve got nothing to show for it. Well, I do have some wonderful bags under my eyes and my ears are ringing. If only the future was so bright as this!
I hope to put some more of the site back together this weekend. We’ll see if things get better.
As for tomorrow I’m off to visit the Northern Empire, so wish me luck.
New stuff
Sep 23rd
I’ve gotten things in a big mess around here. I wiped the main index file and now it’s pretty well hosed. I put up a new script for this blog (you’re reading on it now) and I’m playing with a new site engine. Take a look!
New Logging and Flight
Aug 5th
I put a new blog script up but it doesn’t seem to be working quite right. Have to troubleshoot it some more when I have time this week.
Also, almost soloed at the flying field today. That means next time I go up I should be on my own, finally. Now I have no one to blame for accidents but me!
