Dream, dream, dream. Waking up is inevitable.

tell tivo your new ZIP

If you’ve moved and are struggling, like I did, with telling TiVo your new ZIP code so you can get your local updates, here’s how:

‘Repeat Guided Setup’.

This is found under:

Read New TiVo Messages & System Settings
- Restart or Reset System
- Repeat Guided Setup

…then follow the prompts.

Easy as pie; just why is it so counterintuitive?

sometimes one just has to say wow.
wow, wow, wow.

check out Topsy a really nifty search engine that listens to the tweet network. Very cool stuff. Just enter a search item you want to learn about from the twittersphere.

I feel stupid

I used to be a really good Lotus Notes Domino developer. This was about five years ago, when I was laid off from an awesome company. They were closing their doors, and we all got canned.
I took off on my own, as a web developer, developing in php. At first I did okay. Recently though, I find that I have neither the desire nor the capability and — most humbling of all — nor the brain capacity to develop code.
Has my brain gone rusty? Lazy? Stupid? All of the former. I can’t even get my head around coding a simple two-level drop-down navigation menu. I scour the internet for code to adapt, and even that, my brain is too lazy to do.
What gives?

HUH?

A prize (maybe a certificate?) goes to the first one who can tell me what the dilly this is about?

Spelling anyone

If this is any indication of the services offered, I would hesitate to contact them!

sweet friend

A sweet friend of mine, after exploring my blog, gifted me last week with a whole bunch of MICRON pens. I asked her how she knew about my penchant for pens, and she answered with an impish smile: “I read your blog, you said you had a pen fetish”.

Duh.

Thank you! (
