Back in March I mentioned that I was offering to write drabbles in return for a donation to Habitat for Humanity for me to go to Romania.

Since WP only lets you do one cut I'll come back to the drabbles themselves. But I enjoyed myself writing them, I had forgotten how much, since it's been a while since I wrote any. As my birthday is coming up (Saturday, so I am allowed to get excited tomorrow) I'm going to do it Hobbit-style again, and offer to write drabbles for any requests.

I love my PVR. I know there was a reason why I splashed out and spent more money to get something good. it was annoying me that I kept having to fast forward through all the adverts in Lewis and I really wanted something that skipped a certain amount of time, like my TV card does. The PVR does skip but only 10 seconds, which doesn't get you very far in adverts.

So, I downloaded an extension which does it. Problem sorted.

I also discovered, through looking in the manual, that it automatically records everything you watch, so you really can just press rewind. I tested it just to be sure. With my TV card that worked, but you had to be recording it to start with. I want to watch something on live TV to see it now. Except I think the last time I did that was two and a half weeks ago.
