Half a Page of Scribbled Linux

My aging HP ScanJet 6200C has a yellow line in everything it scans. So when I was given the subject scanner, I was excited to try it out. Below are my scribblings in getting this working in Linux. Or should I say not getting it to work. Turns out it’s unsupported and works only in Windows.

I found a program that will stream video from your PC to your TiVo. It requires the TiVo be on your home network, but other than that, it’s dead simple. The program is called pyTivo. You edit a configuration file and tell it what directory on the PC contains your videos. Run the program and those videos show up on your TiVo’s “Now Playing” screen under My Movies.

Seems the archives of this blog were broken. Probably since I last changed hosts. The path of the archives is specified in Blogger under “Settings” “Archiving” “Archive Path”. The location of the blog is in a different place on the new host, so the old path didn’t exist, so Blogger couldn’t write to it.
