I’ve made a few updates since my last release a few weeks ago. I thought I’d toss an updated version out there. What’s new in this version:
Duration is no longer hard-coded to 32:00 and actually reflects the duration of the show
The script will attempt to find the TiVo via Bonjour/mDNS/ZeroConf/DNS-SD/whatever unless passed a -t [...]
Previously on “You can imagine where it goes from here”: We released a script to download stuff from the tivo, and then made some improvements to it.
After two years of saying I was going to fully automate the process of downloading and transcoding shows for my iPhone, I finally got off my ass and did [...]
There is a question/thread over at slashdot titled What did you first do with Linux? Rather than copy my reply here, I’ll just put a link to my reply to that subject. I did have (and I mentioned it in the post) a get off my lawn moment when writing it. A fun walk down [...]
I love xkcd and its geeky geeky ways. It often captures things I’ve lived and/or seen. Today’s is one I have lived and seen lived.
This reminds me of a post on usenet my friend Anne made in 1998. To quote:
So I am left not bitter just tired of this whole meeting people, emotional ties, finding [...]

Previously I put out an early version of my ruby based command line oriented tivo download script.
I’ve had a patch from MARK NOTARUS to make the menu have some more options and I’m using Console::ProgressBar from facets now.
It works well enough for my needs, but let me know if you hit any roadblocks. Just [...]
We’ve replaced our firewall with DD-WRT on Linksys crystals. Let’s see if anyone notices…
I’ve been working on a command-line oriented TiVo2Go downloader so I can automate getting items off my tivo, or at least do it when I’m on the road via ssh (and then kick off that other script…) I’ve written a quick and dirty TiVo library, and a sample script called TiVo2Disk which uses the library.
On [...]
I’ve been investigating cmake at work as a better build system for our cross platform C based projects. I’m thinking about starting up a third one, so now is the prefect time to really go after this as for one project we have a build system per platform and on the other we have [...]
