Boo ya, Grandma, boo ya.

Ya know that feeling of euphoria and adrenalin you feel in your chest when you complete a task that you were really worried about? I have it right now. I just got done installing a TurboNet adapter in my Philips 20hr. TiVo. It went very very well, and my test call succeeded the first time through. Rad.

By far, the hardest part was getting the cover off the TiVo. It's really seated on there well, but I guess that's just one way to keep people from screwing around with their TiVos. I guess I can understand that. It's a little funky having an Ethernet cable hanging out the back of the TiVo, but hell, it works. I'll give this about a week to burn in, and then I'll start making preparations to get rid of our phone line. There won't be any use for it anymore.

Now that I've opened up the TiVo, I know I'm going to upgrade the hard drive, sooner or later. After seeing this, I'm going to start archiving shows off of the TiVo. Hopefully this week will go well with the TiVo. Too bad I don't have a PC. It's going to be a little tricky to get FTP/Telnet turned without one.
