weekend, also tivo

[rmd]

boring update...

so, my tivo came back to me happy and full of disk this week and i've been gradually rebuilding my season passes and wishlists. yay.

i had overnight work this morning, and ended up taking a big long nap yesterday evening, then dealing with work and sleeping hard afterwards. i think i should be able to pick up with my normal schedule again tonite.

that's the last big work-related thing i had due before vacation starts this weds nite and clauclauclaudia and i head out, and i'm eagerly looking forward to las vegas for barge (including tickets to several cirque shows) and then driving around in southern utah and the northern strip of AZ.

i got my big sheep-covered teapot the other day and just finished a big tasty pot of tea from it. yum.

yeah. it's listed on their site as "recertification" or something like it. it ran me $75 plus the cost of the disks and such.

i've been really pleased with them when i've dealt with them.

for stuttery playback, you might just try taking the cover off and making sure all the connections are tight. a loose ide cable will cause that kind of stuttering, i think.

Temperature can cause stutter as well. The bottomest TiVo in my stack had issues with that until I added some Altoids tins to the stack to give it some air space.
