Time Marches On, People...
The bus was empty this morning.
Not sparsly populated. Empty - as in I was the only one on it.
The ferry commute is working pretty well so far - even if the WiFi went away I think I'd enjoy the time to read, think and generally not be driving.
Dawnise, on the other hand, is not doing so well - she's been sick since Monday. Monday's "blah" turned into Tuesday's "blech" and she's been pretty much sleeping since. Stuffed up head and sinus, low grade fever, and generally unhappy. I made her matzo balls and soup the other night, and she's had soup of one form or another since Monday night.
I finally sorted the problem with the TiVo - seems that the original quantum drive was starting to flake - drawing more power than the little TiVo power supply could reliably provide. I bought two new 120G Maxtor's and as of the time I left this morning, the copy onto the new drives is about 60% complete.
The news that Apple may be consdering acquiring TiVo kinda worries me - I like nearly everything about TiVo - not the least of which is their attitude toward the hacking community (essentially - "you own the device, do whatever you want, just don't steal"). This attitude is diametrically opposed to the company that brought you the iPod ("all your music are belong to us"). Time will tell...
