weaktwosTraffic was noteworthy last night. The highway was brimming with individuals lurching towards their future; a future that was likely far less interesting than their driving.
I did battle with a black widow spider that was guarding my front door. Sadly, I had no proper spider poison. 409 works great.
I was doing some research DirectTV's HD DVR. I'd have to pay $500 if I wanted to get an HD Receiver/DVR that is a Tivo. I think HD is still on hold for me. I also chatted with one of the sales reps at Direct TV about whether or not they would provide cable cards like cable companies do to avoid having to have two receivers when the Tivo Series 3 comes out. He gave me the impression that they do not provide those cards. That sucks.
Furthermore, I'm investigating getting another hard drive and upgrading my DirectTivo with a bigger hard drive and with PtvUpgrade's PTVNet, so I can use multi-room viewing, and hopefully TivoToGo. I'm still reading up on it to gain a better understanding of what to expect.
I'm about half way through my week week. I'll be working on Saturday and Sunday as well. This will complete the big final moves into our building. I'll be happy when Sunday is over. For well over a year, we've been living in an inconvenient way. Our storage rooms have been temporarily located in inconvenient locales. Now we'll have our work area, our storage area, and our server room located on one floor. Huh-frickin-zah. That means less forced cardio throughout the day, though.
I received the remainder of Season 1 of "24" via Netflix last night. Oy veh. Once again, I'm glad I didn't have to watch this over 6 months.
