I picked up an external drive for my Tivo3 this week. I was informed of how to add a 2nd drive to my tivo..
I had some trouble that turned out to be the crappy connectors on esata cables. I followed the surgery instructions here and all is good now.
I can now record 98 hours of Hi-Def shows.
I purchased a GPS last year for the MS150 Bike Tour. I never got around to using it and now I am feeling guilty with it sitting on the shelf.
Yesterday, I attended a hands on class at REI. This was a four hour class that taught me all the basics of my specific unit and how to operate it for finding locations, tracking, and generating routes.
I have known about Geocaching for a while. I even had a premium account with Geocaching.com. So this morning, Angie and I headed out to find some of the cache’s around our house.
We ended up finding four caches today. We got a lot of good exercise (walked about 4 miles) and used our powers of observation to try and find the hidden treasures.

This site lets you call from your phone and record messages that can be sent as audio or text. It’s amazing how well it works with my voice. Only problem is that my mail client thinks it’s junk mail….
Found this cool tool called Text Expander. It’s a tool that lets you create aliases that will expand to text when you type them.
Ok, I just don’t get this…
back when Google started with gmail, I thought I would see what all the buzz was about. I was under impressed because it was no different than all the other webmail systems out there.
Today, I logged into the account. It had never been used to SEND or receive email, so there is no way anyone would have know it existed. When I logged in, the account had over 200 messages of SPAM!
This gives me a very high confidence that someone has sold the entire Gmail database to a spam house. The email address I was using was a very random set of characters and numbers. Now you know why I am so paranoid about not trusting any other companies to host my services. If they sold mailing lists, what else are they selling?
