For the past few years I’ve been trying my best to keep Galleon’s weather app running, but it appears the end-of-life for it has arrived.

TiVo Slide remote
I guess I didn’t write about the TiVo Slide remote when I first got it last October but after going without it for a few days recently I realized how much I like it. The Slide is a combination infrared and Bluetooth remote that works with the TiVo Premiere, TiVo HD, and TiVo Series 3 [...]
Another Galleon (local radar) weather fix
It’s been almost three years since I last fixed the local radar image in Galleon’s Weather application. Earlier this week TCF user ajayabb pointed out that just like last time, the image was showing N/A again. I tracked down the bug to a change in weather.com’s HTML page and was able to make a simple [...]
TiVo launches iPad app for Premiere
Last week TiVo finally released its iPad app that it had announced back in November. The TiVo® App for iPad is a fun and FREE new companion for your TiVo Premiere box that lets you search, browse, discover and share without ever interrupting what you’re watching. Now you can quickly surface new content, view guides, [...]
Manage your TiVo Season Passes online
This past week TiVo unveiled its online Season Pass Manager, available through your account on tivo.com. Adding to the existing features of being able to view your Now Playing and To Do lists online, the SPM lets you re-order, copy, and delete the Season Passes on your TiVos from your web browser.
Quick fix for saving Galleon’s music player options
I tend to watch for Galleon-related threads on TCF and came across this one earlier this week. Basically it was reported that after making changes in the Music Player options, those changes would not be saved. I don’t really use the music player options but always enjoy a debugging challenge so decided to check it [...]
Netgear MCA1001 MoCA adapters
Since I was facing a re-org of my media cabinet to set up my new TiVo Premiere, I took the opportunity to make some network changes as well. I’m not quite ready to upgrade my wireless network to the N standard that was finally ratified last year but still wanted good throughput so I could [...]
TiVo Premiere
It’s been almost three years since I bought a new TiVo, so it was time. I’ve added the new TiVo Premiere to my main home theater setup, relegating my trusty, original Series3 box to home office duty. I already had the 1TB WD Expander drive from the Series3, so rather than spend the extra cash [...]
Back from New York
I guess it’s true what they say about the frenetic pace of life in New York City. My 10-day business trip to Manhattan just flew by. It was a lot of hard work, and a lot of fun, but I’m glad to be back home.
Acer Aspire Revo 3610
My Dell OptiPlex Linux server was getting louder and hotter in its old age. For the past three years it has been running 24×7 as my media server in the closet. The fan in the power supply had started to whine (especially when the CPU was maxed), and I already lost one hard drive to [...]
