Temptations Indian-Chinese Fusion Restaurant, Mountain View, CA
When I pass a certain restaurant in the morning, I am tempted to look in the window, to see if they’re still leaving food out on the front table. It looks like they got the message I sent them last month that leaving half-eaten food out on the front table while they’re closed shows poor hygiene and business practice. Now they leave the half-eaten food a little farther from the front windows.
For consistency I tried running this image through the Retinex filter and I am pleasantly surprised with the above result.

I’ll give Amazon.com credit for making their mp3 downloader available to Linux users:
I clicked on Ubuntu, and Chrome downloaded amazonmp3.deb and the Ubuntu Software Center fired up and told me:
Wrong architecture ‘i386’
That was frustrating. I sent a note to Amazon.com thanking them for their Linux support and asking them to please consider rolling some x86_64 packages. Then I asked Google for advice, and got this fine post:
http://www.ensode.net/roller/dheffelfinger/entry/installing_amazon_mp3_downloader_under
Works fine except the download link to getlibs is old and broken, so I figured I can recapitulate the recipe here:
1) Download amazonmp3.deb and then install it manually:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture Downloads/amazonmp3.deb
2) Download and install getlibs: (Thanks for the corrected link, bobxnc!)
http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
(Your browser should hand the package off to an installer, else you’ll just do something like sudo dpkg -i Downloads/getlibs-all.deb.)
3) Run getlibs!
Looks something like this:

3.1) If, like me, you got “no match for libboost” as above, or you get “amazonmp3: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” then do this bit:
sudo getlibs -w http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-date-time1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb

A puny rental truck towing a Saturn sits next to one of the big boys.
I like the matching lines and colors here, as if the rental truck is the semi’s kid or something.

So, I recently replaced my home router with an Actiontec GT724WGR. But I neglected to tell the TiVo, so it quietly started to lose programming data. Then I tried getting the TiVo to talk to the new router, but it wasn’t connecting. Long story short, it appears the TiVo is not supporting WPA2, so on the Actiontec, I went in to Wireless Setup > Advanced Settings and kicked it down to WPA and now the TiVo is updating its information successfully.
But it took some doing to figure that out. It would be helpful if the TiVo N02 error page touched upon the limitations of TiVo’s support for wireless security.
