I almost forgot about this. Just the other day I walked out of my building to see this. This is typical of people always in a hurry to go nowhere. There seem to be a lot of them in Philly for some reason. Anyhow, from what I could gather this is a 5 car pile […]
Just got a note from a friend who is using the script now. Seems that I inadvertently left my own MAK in the curl script line. I just fixed and re-uploaded the file. All should be well now. Again, you can find the script at: http://lincgeek.org/linc/docs/tivo/getmytivo.tgz Thanks Allan!
Ok. A lot of people have asked me about when I was going to write something to take advantage of my Tivo from my Linux box. Some have even called it a “BashPodder for Tivo”. While I haven’t quite gone that far yet, I have written a script to make getting things off of my […]
I have been playing a bit with my new Tivo. Building some scripts to automate getting things off of there and converting the nedia to something I could use. Last night I started a job on my desktop to do just such a thing, and this morning it was still running. I took a look […]
I have been asked by a few different people now about using my Tivo with Linux and with the n800. Even though I have not had my Tivo for very long, I thought I would take a stab at writing a document about how I use them anyhow. The result is at http://lincgeek.org/linc/docs/tivo/. Take a […]
It seems that the entire world has gone completely crazy. Yes, I am referring to not being able to get xmms on Ubuntu anymore. And I thought things were messed up when Slackware did it as well. What were they thinking? Yes, I realize that xmms was old, but you don’t see me throwing out […]
I know there has been a lot of talk lately about MythTV by the rest of the gang. And I’ll tell you, it sounds like a fantastic thing to play with. Unfortunately, I just don’t currently have the resources, time or financially, to pursue it right now. The problem with that is that I really […]
Here we go again.. Another backup horror story to remind you all to do your backups. Now, you would think that as many times as I have revisited this topic, that *I* would be backup master and that I would never have an incident where I couldn’t retrieve something in a catastrophe. Well, that simply […]
I have done a few Ubuntu release upgrades in the house now, so I figured I’d comment a little bit about them and the new Ubuntu 8.04 in general… The first upgrade was my laptop. This was an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and everything went really smooth. Well, I should say it went smooth, […]
