I was devasted by the cancellation of Farscape as it was the only show I could truly get excited about watching. It didn't help that it was replaced by SG-1, which I consider to be both poorly written and uninteresting. I am one of those fanatics that stopped watching the Sci-Fi channel altogether after the last episode aired. Okay, so I watched Children of Dune. We are all hypocrites.
To be fair to the Sci-Fi channel, to call the 4th season of Farscape substandard is being generous. I enjoyed that the show took different directions every season. The 3rd season, while still good, was likely over the top for some. They just seemed to lose the magic from the very beginning of the 4th season. Episodes were confusing and definitely over the top. If you were not already a fan of the series, you would never watch those episodes.
If the rumors turn out to be true, I hope that they do a better job with the miniseries and give the show a proper ending. The fans deserve it.

Farscape is Back

Actually, the Henson family owns the Jim Henson company. It was sold to EM.TV of Germany for $680 million in 2000. The Henson's bought it back for $89 million this year. Not bad.
There has been wild hopes that Farscape would come back in some incarnation now that the Henson family owns the rights. We'll have to see if these hopes become reality. The theme of the campaign to bring the show back has been "Beyond Hope."
Off topic: You don't. The problem is that you have to have your Tivo setup to record unscrambled video. Anything you already have recorded cannot be extracted. For more information, please check the Tivo forums.
Josh? I believe that this is the very tree. To think, we put presents under that tree almost 4 years ago to the day. How it has grown. I wonder if Edwin will read about the this from Kenya.
And it was 95 and Linux, not 3.1. He considered it essential maintenance to reinstall Windows every month.
It disappoints me that people are so skeptical. It doesn't take much to throw a motherboard in a tree and hook it to a network. What impresses me is christmastree's ability to withstand the slashdot effect. Maybe it doesn't take much to serve just a few pictures... and they are sitting right off the core of WPI's network.
I assure you that the motherboard is functional. I haven't seen the tree yet, but I will make a point to stop by the WPI computer shop before the tree is taken down. I worked there until I graduated and joined the real world. The script to play songs remotely has been around as long as I can remember. We often talked about throwing mbds into a cabinet and placing cabinet.wpi.edu on the network. It looks like Paul and Chuck have done one better.
A friend of mine talked with Paul tonight. Apparently, they didn't plan on submitting it to slashdot until they added more functionality to the tree. It seems that a WPI student visiting the shop beat them to it.

If ever I see a case for someone needing a Tivo, you my friend, are it.

Really? I've held that belief for the last three years. I'll have to investigate this on my own.
