Undocumented DTV DVR Tips

We're at a friends house and, of course, I am helping them fix all of their devices including their DirecTv. It does not have PIP, but these Undocumented DTV DVR Tips were helpful. I am also having a big problem installing their Windows Vista on their wireless WLAN.

Lost & Found on Metro North

... Other items have become office lore. In the day when Metro-North
trains stopped near a veterans' hospital in Montrose, more than a few
sailors and soldiers returning from New York after a night of drinking
left behind their prosthetic limbs.

And one woman, so the story goes, purposely abandoned her late husband's
ashes to repay him for the nights he claimed to have fallen asleep on
the last train home when, in fact, he was with his mistress. The
railroad learned this months later when a woman called to confess. She
never did pick up the ashes, though, and Metro-North had to get rid of
them and the urn they came in...

The public storage heist

Ask me about it sometime and how it relates to getting the fox and the chicken across the river in the row boat.

We stopped at Kiku on Rt 17 after we were done. The chicken was relevant there as well, but not the fox. We did not have sushi, so we did not need the rowboat to serve it in.

We've got a new pet: Hector



My inlaws have a new addition: Hector, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or CKCS. He is named for Hector from the Illiad who was Troy's greatest warrior. On the way home we stopped at Harwich Pet Supply to stock up on pet toys.

So now we have to reset the Time since "Hector was a pup."

PS: Hector Harder was also played by Chill Wills on "Burke's Law" in 1963.

I am working on my class reunion at RPI. Here are some interesting facts:

Richard “Rick” Mastracchio is a NASA astronaut who served as a mission specialist on the space shuttle Atlantis mission STS-106 that worked on building the International Space Station. He was the flight engineer during the launch and landing of the Atlantis.

Microsoft Live Labs: Photosynth

This demo site from Microsoft Live Labs called Photosynth assembles your multiple photos of a place into a navigateable space. The idea is pretty cool. Has anyone tried it with their own photos yet?

BlackBerry Bluetooth Keyboard

This BlackBerry Bluetooth Keyboard looked interesting, I wonder if you can get it to work with a PC too/ Can it be USB powered?

Photojojo » Turn an Etch-a-Sketch into a Kitschy Picture Frame in Just a Few Minutes

This is a great idea from Photojojo to Turn an Etch-a-Sketch into a PhotoKitschy Picture Frame in just a few minutes. Using HP's Clear Decals (#00064-3) can do it faster and in color with a laser printer.

We're on our way to Cape Cod, passing New Bedford, MA

I have a new GPS phone, so I can send it via BlackBerry from Cingular Wireless.

FWIW, This is our current location: http://maps.BlackBerry.com?lat=41.71815&lon=-71.18273&z=5, unfotunately you can only use the link on a blackberry. What a bad design!

Here's the Google maps link using the nowhere.
