I renamed my Tivo to NotTino.
Speaking of Tivo and Tino, my DVR refused to record V last night, for apparently no reason! It was set right, it recorded SYTYCD, but no V - and I didn't find out until 10 min. from the end.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

In case of local network failure I did always try to connect to "Linksys" and "default" first--I figured those are less likely to be password protected.
Or if they are, the passwords tend to be "password" (or "p@55word" etc).

External drives are either Tek Jansen or BSG characters (except for Miss Edith, the first external hard drive I ever bought for Dru the G5).
My iPod is Miss Edith, both for Dru's doll and for the Lonely Doll books.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I feel like my neighbors will judge my network.
I promise I only judge the networks named "Linksys" or "default". If you named it "Digital Underground" I would think you were utterly awesome based on your network name.
Totally! At my old apartment, one of the networks was "pimpsdomain." Unfortunately it was secured, because I always wanted to be in pimpsdomain.

How do we feel about pickled asparagus on a sandwich?
My first reaction is to wrinkle my noise and say, "Ew." I'm not wild about pickley things. My second reaction is that it depends on the sandwich.

I named my tivos "bedroom" and "living room". Boring. It always amuses me when I have my laptop on and I'm in the "now playing list", the tivo tells me that it can see "Ripper"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I could name it kprinkle
I think you should. And I think Kat should name her home network kprinkle too. Flood the world with a wave of kprinkle.

Dude, I just realized I haven't named my new Tivo!! The old one was Darla.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have renamed my network, and then signed back onto it. I am not a technological dunce after all.
I just cancelled plans for tonight because I no longer feel like working, and yet have more work to do. Bah!
