This is just a last minute reminder for the SLUG meeting tonight. Just in case you forgot, here's the summary of what will be discussed.
> Who Put That Penguin In My Brand Name Consumer Electronics Device? > Presented by Tucker Hurton 12/10/2001. > > > Linux has finally found its way into the homes of our friends and >families....sneakily, perhaps, but it's happening. > > Not too long ago, a device was released to the public which >began changing the way people watch TV. TiVo, Inc released >the "TiVo". A digital VCR which allows for the automated >recording of television shows. It offered the average consumer >an easy to use interface for recording and watching their >favorite tv programs. But for the above average consumer, it >offered much, much more. > > The TiVo is based on our favorite operating system, Linux. >The TiVo people have made their kernel changes (PowerPC) >publicly available as well as a set of development tools >for those daring enough to explore and enhance. > > This openness has paved the way for a variety of utilities and >enhancements to be developed by the TiVo/Linux community. It >is my intention to demonstrate some of these features to anyone >that is interested in hearing me ramble on. It is rumored that >I will also be demonstrating how to add additional disk capacity >and will also be exhibiting a TiVo with a hacked-in ethernet >card running a web server. > > I hope to see everyone there, but if you don't show up >it just means more beer for me (PLEASE NOTE: even if you >do show up, you can't have my beer). > > -Tucker > > > > Tucker Hurton works for the University of New Hampshire where >his primary responsibility (as he sees it) is to ridicule and >humiliate his co-workers. He is not married to a supermodel, >nor can he be found gracing the cover of financial magazines. >In the movie "Armageddon (1997)",if you look very closely at >the scene in which the crowd was welcoming back the surviving >shuttle to Earth, you will not see Tucker at all; but thanks >for looking. > -------------------------------------------------------------- Robert E.
