TiVo T-Shirt

Updated 04/06: The winner is…Rassi.  Rassi, please reply to my email so that I can ship your t-shirt.  Thanks to everybody who participated.

Being the nice guy that I am, I went ahead and cashed in some of my rewards points so that I can give away a couple of TiVo t-shirts. Here’s how you can win a t-shirt:

  • Leave a comment on this post letting me know that you’d like to be entered in the contest
  • Over the weekend I will randomly pick a winner
  • I’ll pay for shipping anywhere in the continental U.S.A.

In other site news, I thought I would let you know that I recently upgraded this site to the latest version of WordPress. If you encounter any problems please let me know….

TiVo Blog Now Has ~50% Less Ads!

Earlier today I implemented a WordPress plugin which allows me to remove ads from this site based on whether or not you’re a “regular” to the site. Now, if you leave a comment on the site you should no longer see any Google Adsense & Vibrant Media ads. I still have a couple of other ads being displayed for regular users however, I thought it would be nice to reward regular users by removing these ads (especially the Vibrant Media ads which can get annoying).

As always, you can support this site by using this link when you purchase a product from Amazon or by entering my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) when you activate your TiVo. Thanks and enjoy less ads :).

Upgraded To WordPress 2.0

Have You Been Denied Access To TiVoBlog.com?

It has come to my attention that some people may be having a tough time accessing this site. If you are one of those unlucky individuals, the reason why you were having a problem was because I had installed a wordpress plugin that was suppose to stop Spambots from accessing this site. According to one individual, the error that they received was similar to this one. Prior to running this plugin, I was getting so much spam that I was having a tough time keeping up with it. By using this plugin, it looks as though I may have denied some valid users. If you were one of those individuals who was prevented from access this site, please send me some feedback and let me know what you setup is (browser, os). I apologize to anybody who was wrongfully denied access. As of right now, the plugin has been disabled and you should be able to browse the site just fine :). Damn spambots!

Upgrading TiVoBlog To Wordpress 1.5

Wordpress.org

I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress (the blogging software I use) however; I haven’t finished converting over the old look and feel. I hope to get to this in the near future.
