Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! Time to get the family ready and over to Mass. Unfortunately our favorite after-Mass breakfast joint, Donut Fresh Express, is temporarily closed for some electrical renovations. We'll probably go hit Cafe on the Oval. They have awesome hearty breakfasts. 6:06am

Back from Mass and a hearty breakfast with the family. Time to do a little laundry, work on some pictures, and repair the garage door. Looking forward to the thaw later today 'cause it's only 20°F right now. 8:58am

Between Abby's camera and mine, I've 100+ photos to sift through and figure out what's worth keeping and editing. 11:18am

My laptop can't be out of battery power! I still have a bunch of pictures to work on! Ah well, it's a sign that it's time for me to work on the garage door seal... 1:40pm

Garage door seal replaced. Hands are thawing out while I enjoy a fresh Dunkin Donuts coffee that Michelle picked up for us. Now back to the pictures... 2:56pm

Newest tinkering research: iTiVo and pyTivoX -- two open source apps for moving video to and from your Mac and TiVo. (related link) and (related link) 7:05pm

Success! Using just a web browser and a small C program (tivodecode), I downloaded and decrypted a TV show from the TiVo to play on my Mac's main video player, VLC. 8:20pm

Bookmarks I made today:

Ring Ding
Comment: All righty then, who besides my friend Rob Williams, has the courage to put this ring tone on their cell phone? Any takers? Bueller? Bueller?

Photo album
Comment: Finally! After sifting through 100+ pictures, I've got 54 semi-decent ones left that cover Michelle's sister's visit, Christmas time, and the boys' birthday celebration.
