Well after much more work that I ever thought, I have my DirectTV Tivo on our wireless network. The list of steps required went something like this.
- Go to Fry’s buy 120G Maxtor harddrive, Linksys WET11 bridge, Linksys USB100TX ethernet interface
- Download copius disk images from web
- Read web pages on how to do this for days
- Crack open wootens.net server and install 120G drive
- Realize that my BIOS is SO old that wootens.net freaks out with 120G drives
- Spend a day figuring out how to flash a new bios from ASUS
- Crack open Tivo and transplant drive in wootens.net
- Use web CD downloads to hack Tivo Linux kernel
- Realize I just screwed up, because RedHat 7.3 can’t deal with TiVO filesystems
- Spend half a day trying to figure out how to boot from a SCSI CD-ROM aka the BOAT ANCHOR
- Chunk BOAT ANCHOR overboard and go buy a new CD-RW at Office Max for “free” after rebates
- Rearrange all the disk drives in wootens.net and install new CD-RW
- FREAK OUT when the server won’t boot back up after changing all the drives
- Realize that somehow the powerplug came loose from the powersupply, only after disconnecting all the devices I had just added…
- Realize the linux on the boot CD doesn’t allow one to abort into a shell
- Learn all about emedded linux boot images and modify them
- Learn how to make linux boot CD’s after making 5 ‘coasters’
- Finally boot cd into bash, hack tivo, put it on our betwork…

Sara had her first bath today. It’s amazing how tiny she is. She also decided to be pretty happy during her bath, so it was not that hard to get her sparkly clean and smelling nice again.
More pictures can be found here.

Well it has been an interesting second week for Sara. We have had gusty winds, floods, snow, hail, lighting strikes near our house, more snow, and finally today some sun.
Folks have also been impatient for some more pictures. I was generally unhappy with both Nikon’s and iPhoto’s html export capabilities. Finally I found a program called Galerie that is pretty nice.
So for those who want to see more picture of Sara, look here!

I was able to grab a nice picture of mom with Sara this afternoon.

It’s one of those rare, lucid moments of early parenthood where Sara is sleeping and I am actually somewhat awake. I looked over some more pictures that we took and have placed them below. We got home from the hospital yesterday and are doing fairly well. Sara is still trying to figure this big old world out, but she gets better at it every day.
