UPDATE: I have made the main RSS 2.0 a full post-only feed. I will update the one with comments to 2.0 later.

There will be very little posting until Time Warner Cable restores my cable modem service. Dial-up is not a good thing.

Freeman Dyson, Tim O’Reilly, and George Dyson

I saw Freeman Dyson and his son George, along with Tim O’Reilly as moderator, at this morning’s keynote at OSCON. It was wonderful to hear such people talk about technology and the future. Esther (Freeman’s daughter) was supposed to attend too, but she was stuck at the airport in Dallas. As Tim O’Reilly put it, she was stuck in Texas, like our whole country at the moment.

I received spam today with this subject:

Imagine Super Viagrá! A norwich atheist gremlin.

For the people out there that read me using an RSS reader (I recommend bloglines), I have added a feed that gives my full posts plus any comments. I did the same for James.

RSS 1.0 full feed for bloggy

RSS 1.0 full feed for jameswagner.com

I got the template for the feed here, via Nicole/The Go Fish.

Is anyone else using Time Warner’s DVR (Digital Video Recorder), kind of like Tivo?

Ours is having trouble telling time. It keeps starting things a little early and cutting off the last couple of minutes. I’ve taken to recording the thing right after a program if it really matters to me, just in case.

Is anyone else seeing this? I fear entering the maze of Time Warner Cable support again.

I just got rid of my first email address: hoggardb@panix.com, circa 1993. It had become too spamalicious.
