Guide Data for MythTV

[Archived in Entry]

[Tech Talk] LxM Suite is selling subscription guide data to MythTV users for an initial cost of $30 for 6 months. Why do you want to pay LxM for their guide data when you could just use Zap2It DataDirect for free?

[GentleBreezes] Bill Moyers, I Love You.: data about its toxic products from its workers, I realized that investigative journalism could... fits because it wasn't the party line. It wasn't that we were getting it wrong. Only three times..., Democrat or Republican, would cross the line from resisting White House pressure to carrying it out

Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: The Gripe Line WebLog ...: Thus, instead of it being a choice between ancestry.com and heritagequestonline, I think researchers should insure that they have access to both, among others with information potentially relevant to the type of lineage they have. The only area in which ancestry.com and heritagequestonline.com overlap is in United States census images (and even then, they scanned them differently, so what is hard to see on one database might be easily read on the other; and vice versa). Their census indexes are organized on different principles and use different search engines. Overall, I think ancestry.com has the better-quality images and the better indexes, although heritagequestonline has the better census search engine.

Excellent guide to recovering Windows data with Knoppix - The ...: One of the coolest things you can do with Knoppix, and I myself have done this for several people, is recover data from a crashed Windows machine. Boot Knoppix, mount the Windows hard drive, and then copy the data over the network to another drive. Wipe the drive, reinstall Winders (or, better yet, install Linux), restore the data, & you’re done.

How To Make Money With Your Blog Site - Robin Good' Sharewood Tidings: Why only a few devoted fans would shell out USD $20 or more to buy a branded Chris Pirillo t-shirt promoting his site, if the bold tagline on it would spell out a strong message or slogan about RSS, podcasting, or Firefox adoption, which are some of the "flags" Chris has taken at heart in some of his past posts, well quite a few readers would have liked supporting the cause while getting a personal flag to carry around themselves. So, I really think that this works effectively only where a) the personal brand is good enough to create a desire in readers to "stand" for it (few bloggers or news sites have this kind of charisma, but I guess that people like Joi Ito or Howard Rheingold could command some of this), b) the author or blog / site stands for something clearly identifiable. It may be an overarching mission or it can be a number of changing issues that can be used as effective marketing themes for this type of products.

Stephen Kaufman's WebLog :: The Garden of Eden approach implements characteristics of the Venetian Blind and Salami Slice approach.  Like the Salami Slice the Garden of Eden uses a modular approach by defining all elements globally and like the Venetian Blind approach all type definitions are declared globally.  Each element is globally defined as an immediate child of the <schema> node and its type attribute can be set to one of the named complex types.  Since the elements are globally declared, the namespace must be exposed no matter what the settings of the elementFormDefault attribute is.  Therefore, if the elementFormDefault attribute is set to qualified, this does not change the content and structure of the instance document but if the attribute is set to unqualified then the local elements in the instance document must not be qualified with the prefix of the namespace prefix.

Guide for plugin creation - Blog Du Net: To make a plugin entirely in French is a bad idea for two reasons. On the one hand, it will be impossible to return it available to people not including/understanding French and, more serious, in a blog configured in Utf-8, all the accentuated characters will be replaced by cabalistic signs of very bad taste.
