There's snow outsite, but its nice and warm here. My daughter and wife are taking a nap downstairs. I'm having fun downloading recordings from my Tivo to my laptop using the new TivoToGo feature. I've already downloaded a show on guitar making and I have queued up the new Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Enterprise, and Stargate SG-1. Its nice that I can watch the shows anywhere in the house, because my girls are sleeping right in front of the Tivo.

On another note, I've recently been playing with several Linux Live-CDs. You can download an ISO linux image, burn it to CD, and then boot the CD on any x86 architecture comupter (at least a 486, but do I really have to say that). I've tried Damn Small Linux, SLAX, SLAX Professional, and Puppy Linux. They all seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. Of course, if I ever get the time, I'm going to have to try my hand at creating one that exactly matches my own interests.

Damn Small Linux is nice becasue, well .. it's really small. It's less than 50 MB and can fit on a business card sized CD.

SLAX Professional is nice because it comes with the Gnu compilers, so I can play with software development.

Puppy Linux is nice because it can be used to install to things like USB drives and compact flash.
