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 [...]

TiVo -> Video Podcast
3/4/2010 – 11:15 pm
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 [...]
Build libcurl as a universal binary
8/27/2009 – 12:38 pm
I release one of the projects from work as a universal binary on OS X. Up until tomorrow that mean just i386 and ppc. With snow leopard, it looks like it’ll be a good idea to support the 64-bit architectures as well, especially considering its an ODBC driver I’m working on and the native apps [...]
Place shifting action 3: Revenge of the Sith
3/20/2008 – 1:40 pm
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. [...]
Dave Dribin once again rocks
11/29/2007 – 10:42 am
Dave is having a rocking week. He started with the 1.0 version of his QLEncript plugin to get QuickLook to show color syntax highlighted code files. Here’s a quick screenshot of it in action on my laptop. Today, to continue his rocking, Dave posted on Leopard’s ssh, ssh-agent, keychain interaction and ways to make it [...]
Place shifting action 2
11/15/2007 – 5:50 pm
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. [...]
Parallels Desktop is smart
6/21/2007 – 9:29 am
I’ve been using Parallel’s Desktop for OS X since it was first available. I just got my upgrade to the latest version. One of the things this version includes is the ability for the Mac to have the C: of windows (when running in a virtual machine) shared to the Mac like any other shared [...]
CMake so far
3/27/2007 – 10:10 am
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 two [...]
fortune for xscreensaver for OS X
10/31/2006 – 11:32 am
I love that jwz ported XScreenSaver to OS X at about the same time I moved to OS X for my laptop. I got to keep all the screen savers I use and have used over the past decade or so. Especially some of the cooler GL based ones. (Its also nice that someone ported [...]
OS X moving unix forward
6/30/2006 – 10:59 am
For every stupid hard coded Steve Jobism in OS X1, there’s some really awesome unix extentions I’d like to see elsewhere. The big one for me today has to do with DNS handling. I’ve been playing with OpenVPN to get access to my network at home. Since I have a MacBook Pro from work, that’s [...]
