At Minicon

I finally got my ass to Minicon at 6:30pm, sadly too late to visit the dealers room and artshow. I spent too much time today playing with the new TiVo's. The Comcast installer finally showed up around 2pm, and then spent 1.5 hours working with the TiVos to get the working with the new multistream cablecards.

Then I started playing with coverting a downloaded Torchwood divx file to play on the TiVo. This required converting the file to mpeg 2, and the triggering the trandfer of thefile from the PC to TiVo, which appears to take a long time. I wonder if that can be sped up.

Now I'm sitting in the a Deconstructing Identity in the Future panel wit Elise Matthesen and Eleanor Arnason. Hense the picture.
