Our new installation seemed to go smoothly, and other than a few channels going missing for a while, everything seems tickety boo. I am not sure I really needed 100mb broadband, or that I am getting anywhere near the speeds that I should be, but I shall continue to keep an eye on it. The Tivo box seems like fun, but I think I may be too old for it all now. It all seems a little....well....complicated. I now have the option to click a button if I like a TV programme, or, on the other hand if I dislike it, there is a another button. They are thumbs up and thumbs down. I felt like a Roman Empire holding the very future of the life of the programme in my hands. I feel this power might go to my head...after all, who am I to decide the future of such things. Annoyingly, I discovered that this feature was really only there so that Tivo (It already has a personality) can recommend new programmes based on my thumbs up recommendations...irritatingly, I had just been messing around with it, so Lord alone knows what delights are going to be served up to me. I then spent the afternoon writing more script, because I love the feeling of dread and self loathing that leaving things to the last minute gives me. However, as usual, I managed to pull it out of the bag as it were. A good rehearsal then ensued, and we were home in time for tea, and Tivo based fun.
