Well, as my last two posts implied, I own a TiVo again. In fact, I own a TiVoHD. Pay per view on the TiVo works through Amazon, so they have the best price. I’ve been playing with it for 2 days now and I have some thoughts, comments, and a small review. The TiVoHD is… Read More »
So in the long trip to get a working TiVo with FiOS service, I’ve hit another snag. Verizon insists on sending someone to my house to install the cable cards. Why, I ask? Because they are fragile. (It costs $100 to replace them if they break.) Yikes. So after UPS (and I hate UPS) screwed… Read More »
I ordered a TiVO on Tuesday night from Amazon with 2 day shipping. It was too late in the day, so it counted as being ordered on Wednesday. Estimated delivery? Friday. So, I called up Verizon to order cable cards for it. They quickly scheduled a technician to come out (?!) and deliver them and… Read More »
So I haven’t blogged in a while. Not for lack of subjects. My TiVo died. We got a great new camera. I flew to Ohio for $10 each way. I ran over my cell phone, but it still works except for the screen. I helped release some pretty interesting software. I’m looking at the Zimbra… Read More »
I really enjoy the way Google’s Gmail displays related messages (or threads) as conversations. David Morrison has been working on a plugin for Evolution which tries to replicate this behavior.

It’s easy to create an automated staging server for content that doesn’t need to be compiled (like most web content.) The trick is that CVS has a very flexible logging system. All you need to do is have your CVS server send an email on each check in and have the staging server take that… Read More »
Whew! Yesterday I received a number of comments and complaints about my small twisty (disclosure triangle) library. To review: It didn’t work in Internet Explorer. (Not too surprising since I don’t have access to a Windows machine for testing.) It was a little ugly. (Okay, no one said that, but I think it was implied.)… Read More »
Edit: I’ve created an updated version of this library and described it at Even More Twisty HTML. I don’t recommend using the version described below because of the issues people have reported. Twisties, otherwise known as “Disclosure Triangles” are little triangles (â–º) that twist (â–¼) when clicked to hide or show content on the page.… Read More »
