Update: As I look at my "View Recorded History" it says those games were not recorded because some "modified the wishlist that requested it". Well, I checked the settings and they look right to me. I see no changes. It then said it wouldn't record the Bills game because there wasn't enough space (depsite the fact that I have 13 suggested shows waiting to be recorded over with my requested programming, plus some movies that could be deleted if space was needed. WTF is up with this?

After years of flawless service - it has missed 3 out of the last 4 Sabres games. It missed the Marv Levy show this morning and the Bills are not scheduled to record. I have a wishlist using "Buffalo" as the keyword and "sports" as the category. Is DTV not categorizing shows these as "sports" anymore?

Although maybe that is all technically correct, what small fraction of a fraction of a percentage of people actually know any that stuff? Of all the times you have read "x-mas" you could probably count on one hand the number of people who would recite anything from that wiki entry.

Thank you. My wife's grandmother died. She was 97 - pushing 98... Those broken hips are serious things - they lead to a quick downward spiral.

yeah, I'm cancelling tonight. 2 hours of sleep last night and I have a funeral to be at 9:00am. Also, they put out an incremental upgrade that messed up the skin I had semi-ready. So, I have been doing skin edits all night. When that is semi-presentable - then I will upgrade. Probably Friday night. Sorry... I can hardly keep my eyes open right now.

you will be unable to access the board until the upgrade is complete. Thanks!

I didn't corrupt any databases (this time). The indexes just weren't updating fast enough to be done by the morning. I have already made the necessary changes, I believe, and I'll probably try again tonight. I figure by that time you'll be pronouncing that we will lose every game 'til eternity for some reason or other.

is this the 2nd or 3rd time this season?

we need to do this for security reasons, although I suspect a playoff game would be pretty hard on us performance wise. We'll see how this weekend goes. If events go right I might need to make contingency plans. As for donations, anyone is welcome to make a contribution at: paypal2 @ twobillsdrive.com Thanks!

Learned a little bit about "Repair with keycache" this morning. It would have taken days to make updates to the tables (although I have someone's anecdotal evidence on how to avoid this situation). As it stood, it took 7.5 hours just duplicate the original database. Oh well, I'll try again this week. Sorry for the pointless downtime.

The big stat there is the 7.06 YPA that puts him 10th...

I don't spend my time thinking about naked football players... but to answer your question - they would look like pin cushions.

Ironically, UA's althletic director turned off his cell phone about the same time...

if this is true - that is a totally plausible scenario (#1)... Who woulda thunk it?

it is the "Person of the Year", not "Person in My Rear"....

Perhaps if it were just "shrew"...

1. Al Gore invents the internet 2. Some crackhead with a Russian email address, tunneling through a Saudia Arabian server exploits a security hole in Invision Power Board. you Al - you tree-hugging, frog licking, no controlling authority goofball.

Well, I don't kow the nature of the hole that got through. I thought all patches were applied for this series. The fuggers were from Russia. Fuggin' commie bastards. I renamed the original script they came in on and changed the database password. Hopefully this will deter them until I patch the hole. I apologize for this, I'll try and lock the server down better.

Alright - it's gone. I know we are overdue for an upgrade. I bought a new license a couple of months ago, but I have been waiting for 2.2 to come out. It is out, but the skin needs to be redone. I guess that needs to be done sooner than later...

The code is in the footer. I have deleted it, but they did something slick that prevents me from removing it. I'm working on it.

fixed.

So, where are you in the oscillation? Last I knew you were headed down, but there could have been several bounces since then. Could someone take a derivative of Joe's mood and get back to me with results?

which is the upside of having Ed date your daughter... you don't have to worry about him having sex with her.

that's the Army... General Reserves Usually Not Trained

I missed a few of those - could you summarize?
