A Few TiVo mentions showing up in NNW today. Simon Fell has a bunch of links to TiVo hacking resources. I really need to look into getting a network card for the TiVo. I’d love to ditch the need for the phone line.
Also Derek talks about taking his TiVo for granted. I’m the same way. Every time I go down to my parents I find myself wanting it. I keep thinking that if I ever upgrade I’ll give them my old one. I think once they got used to it they’d really enjoy it.

I just had a chance to look at this blog using IE6 and there’s some definitely weird stuff going on. I’d just heard from a few people reports of things looking weird this week (how many weeks after my redesign?). I’m not sure why either. It looks good on every other browser I’ve tested (even IE on the Mac).
This is one thing that annoys me about IE. There seem to be lots of little CSS issues, yet they don’t seem to be making any kind of regular releases to fix things like this. I hope that Apple learns from this. Once Safari is out of beta, I hope they are continuously looking for places where it doesn’t render right and fixing them.
So, any IE 6.0/CSS experts want to peek at my CSS and let me know what’s wrong?
Chris mentioned someplace called ‘Goldblogger today. Looking over the site scared me. It just screams “MAKE MONEY FAST!”. Did you know that by blogging with Goldblogger you can:
- Learn which blogging software to use, so that you are not hamstrung as your business expands.
- Learn how to weave revenue streams into blog, so that you have a passive income flowing into your pocket, each and every month.
- Learn how to skyrocket your readership, and increase your prestige and popularity using a few simple techniques.
- Learn about hypnotic marketing and why it is revolutionizing GoldBlogging’s money making potential.
- Learn the secrets of writing money-making ads.
- Learn how “trackback” can be used to manipulate your Google ranking.
- Learn which software, shareware, and freeware will help you make money by automating many of the complex or monotonous tasks.
Ew. Ew. Ew. Just what is hypnotic marketing anyways? (Your eyes are getting heavy… you will MAKE MONEY FAST! just send me $10). What is up with this stuff lately. I’ve seen a number of somewhat cheesy sounding blog related businesses starting up lately. Does this mean blogging has really hit the mainstream? Hmm, I am unemployed right now though, maybe I should start up a ‘blogging business’. I actually think someone could probably have a nice small business helping people getting set up with a new blog (another side to the help newbie computer owners learn how to use their computer biz I’ve thought about doing). But I don’t think it would ever be much more than something to do on the side.

I finally got a chance to check out Raging Platypus. It seems to be quite the rage these days. I liked it. It’s now been added to my blogroll to the left.
When I broke open my fortune cookie today it had three fortunes in it. Here’s what I got.
Wil Wheaton posts about an old game that I used to love. I wonder if my copy of Dark Tower is still around at my parents place. He also posted a link to a site where you can play it online! The only thing missing of course is networked play. Thankfully the well-of-souls.com link has the rules for those of us who are a bit rusty.

I once said that the only thing I was sure about in Kiddy Grade is that the main characters are really cute, and that isn’t likely to change.
That was so close to a prophetically wrong statement that it’s really rather remarkable.
