Pub Hunting
Monday, November 28th, 2005Regan and I went exploring the wonders of 6th street this weekend. We found this so called Irish Pub called Mother Egan’s Irish Pub. We were rather disappointed because it didn’t have the feel of a pub. Maybe it was just an off night or maybe it was the two HUGE projectors playing a football game that didn’t make it feel like a pub. Austin you disappoint. This doesn’t mean that we are giving up trying to find a suitable drinking hole. We are lushes after all;-)
Where’s jparks?
Monday, November 28th, 2005Off to Sunnyvale again. The 6am flight isn’t going to be so bad this time since I got stuck in first class!-)
TiVo Adds Overlap Protection
Friday, November 18th, 2005Overlap Protection gives you additional options for dealing with recording conflicts. Normally, when two programs overlap by a few minutes, the lower priority recording is cancelled. (For example, one program ends at 8:33, while the next program begins at 8:30) When you turn Overlap Protection on, the DVR automatically clips the lower priority recording by just enough minutes to allow both programs to record.
When scheduling new recordings, the DVR notifies you of any recording conflict and gives you options for resolving it. If the Overlap Protection feature is on, your options include clipping the lower priority program.
Maybe now Regan will stop bugging me about this;-)
Where’s jparks?
Saturday, November 12th, 2005I forgot to update my blog and say that we are in Baton Rouge for Pam’s wedding this week-end.
Last night at her rehearsal dinner I saw a “MAKE LEVEES, NOT WAR” t-shirt for the first time. Which now I want one since I found out yesterday that some of pilings for the levee’s weren’t even half as deep as they were suppose to be.
It’s been a while
Friday, November 4th, 2005I’ve been busy with work and haven’t had a chance to update my blog in a while. Well I’ve been busy with work so I have nothing interesting to say;-( How ever I will be making a post later about something geeky I’ve been working on. You’ve been warned!
