I Hate Hardware
Spending most of this afternoon trying to restore our TiVo to working order (an attempted re-upgrade to a bigger hard disk and a database cachecard and a network card) after having somehow made it ill after the last time—the TiVo has been dying a slow death for a month—I'm doing it all over again.
Remembering to change jumpers on a hard drive back and forth, connecting and disconnecting and reconnecting hard disks to the insides of a PC (I know, right???) and burning linux boot CDs from ISO images found on the net...it's going to kill me.
Oh, how I long for software-only solutions. Or Apple coming out with a box that does it all for me already and is integrated with iTunes, iMovie and iDVD...
I feel dirty. And dusty.

you lost me at database cachecard.
we have a DV-R through Time Warner for only $6.95/mo (no extra fees for subscription or anything) and it's great.

Did you let it defrost it first? :)
