1. Grab your TiVo remote.
2. Bring up any recorded program. (I believe you have to be watching a recorded program rather than "Live TV" in order to enable the feature.)
3. On your TiVo remote, key in the following sequence:
SELECT PLAY SELECT 3 0 SELECT
4. If you've successfully entered the code, you should hear three "bings" in succession to let you know that you've successfully enabled the 30 second skip feature.
5. The skip-to-hash button on your remote will now skip forward 30 seconds during playback.
6. The previous function of the skip to hash button (that is, jumping to the next "hash" mark on the playback progress bar at the bottom of the screen) can still be accessed by first pressing fast forward or reverse. Press the fast forward button and then press skip-to-hash and the playback will advance to the next hashmark (or the end of the program if you're close to the end of playback.) Press the rewind button and then the skip-to-hash and you jump back to the previous hash mark, or the beginning of the program depending on your place in the playback. Skipping past the end of the program takes you back to the start of playback.
(just posted for my reference since I'm looking for the code every couple days it seems).
I just installed Drupal on the AITP Johnstown web site and I'm pretty impressed. It looks like Drupal will allow us to create a nice customized site for the organization, with multiple authors, access rights, etc... I tossed around the idea of using Moveable Type like I have here, but figured it was time to try something new.
I haven't gotten to play around with it too much, but my first impressions are positive. Installation was a breeze, and I was able to import a few of the PHP scripts that I had written for the previous site.
I just created and submitted my first Yahoo! Widgets Widget. Check out the Pennsylvania Webcam, featuring feeds from 5 or so webcams across the state. I'm looking for one of the Philadelphia skyline for the next version if anyone knows of one.
Coding for the Widget wasn't too bad, especially since I had C. Scott Gilbert's code base from his Pittsburgh TrafficCam widget.
