Idea for TiVo Home Media Engine application

Paul Westbrook | 28 April, 2005 21:00

A while ago, I was looking at streaming mp3 servers, and I looked at the SlimServer software.  There are a couple of java applications that implement the slim server protocol.  SoftSqueeze is a java application that emulates a Squeezebox. The TripleFat is a java application that emulates a SLIMP3.

Since the TiVo Home Media Engine runs applications written in java, I am sure that it wouldn't be too hard to take one of these applications and remove the interface, and replace it with a HME interface.

Shutters

Paul Westbrook | 28 April, 2005 19:18

Shutters Open About 2 months ago, our 2 year old son gave us a scare. He started to climb over the loft wall in our master bedroom. The loft overlooks our livingroom. We decided to install shutters to cover the opening.

We called Larson Shutters and the owner came out to do the measurements. That was about eight weeks ago. Today, the owner came out to install the shutters. I think that they look great.

GeSHi plugin for pLog

Paul Westbrook | 28 April, 2005 13:14

I just found the plogeshi plugin for pLog. It implements the Generic Syntax Highlighter for pLog posts.  It will do syntax highlighting for many different languages like C++, PHP, or Perl.

It will convert: 

$str = 'one|two|three|four';

// positive limit

print_r(explode('|', $str, 2));

// negative limit

print_r(explode('|', $str, -1));

to: 

$str = 'one|two|three|four';
<br />// positive limit
<br />print_r(explode('|', $str, 2));
<br />// negative limit
<br />print_r(explode('|', $str, -1));
