Well, my Linksys Media Center Extender came in last night. I had to wait at the Fed-Ex place for the truck to make it back from the airport. Due to the weather we were having traffic was pretty bad. So, after I get home two and a half hours after leaving work I eat a quick meal, go scrape the driveway so I can get to the car in the morning, and then start to work on the extender.
Well, Media Center didn’t do so hot on consecutive recordings. Sci-fi channel runs Stargate SG1 episodes back to back from 6:00 PM to 11 PM (5 showings) every Monday. The Media Center picked up that it needed to record all five due to me telling it to record the series; however, each show started to loose a little of it’s beginning to the show previous, and then there were gaps of about a minute and half between recordings which totally missed the beginning part of the show.
I just got two emails from eBay stated that starting Jan. 24th, they would no longer be sending Alerts through Microsoft’s .Net alerts for events, nor will they be allowing Microsoft Passport to be used as a method to sign in. They are now providing their own (currently free) mechanism for alerts via SMS to mobiles, or their new eBay toolbar.
So with the Google toolbar and the eBay toolbar, when is Amazon coming out with it’s own toolbar (oh, someone already did one)?
