I went to Best Buy this afternoon to get a Tivo and confirmed what I feared. You can’t set the Tivo Service up without a home phone line. After the initial setup you can use your broadband connection, but you must have a phone line to get it set up. Rachel and I do not [ READ MORE ]
It has been a week since I released MySQL Backup to the world and I am happy to report there isn’t a new version. The original version I wrote last week is working perfectly.

So after work I stopped by the market (remember, I go everyday) and picked up all the fixings (including Boca Meatless Ground) and made dinner. When Rachel got home from class and saw what I was [ READ MORE ]
