OH NOZ I AM DENIED MY MEDIA FIX

bah. my tivo appears to have toasted itself. i assume it's the drive(s). i had the GSOD (green screen of doom) the other morning, so i let it sit all day and then overnight and now it's stuck in a cycle where it restarts, gets the GSOD after a few moments of the "wait a few more moments" screen, then sits at the GSOD for a while and restarts. lather rinse repeat.

there's only one thing on the tivo that is functionally irreplacable, and honestly, it serves me right for not dumping it to tape/cd/dvd/whatever before this.

i'm letting the tivo cool for a while to see if it's capable of coming back long enough to grab the one or two things i want from it.

next up, investigating INSTACAKE.

edited to add: also, WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY TORX BITS?

oh my god shut up about your fucking tivo, already, rmd.

( moderate tivo success. )

( also, i need to be more of a lush, it seems )
