Looks like my new TV will arrive sometime next week. Faster than I expected, actually. It will be nice to get my room back into order. Right now I have a small, 15 inch TV sitting on a chair in my closet. It isn't hooked up to the cable, and it doesn't get any channels. Its sole purpose is for videogames, which I haven't played in about a week...I'm slacking. Then we have all the wires and game consoles laying about, homeless.
Oh, and it'll be cool to actually, you know, watch TV again. I used Eye TV for awhile, but it was a pain. I had to make sure the computer wouldn't sleep on me or he screen saver start up. Jeff and I have a sneaking suspicion that Eye TV is behind the mysterious powering up of my Mac. I haven't tested this theory yet, but I will soon.
Anyhoo...gotta go back to work! (my job is awesome, btw)
Posted by Zoso at July 25, 2007 12:33 PMFYI, there's an easy way to make it so that the screensaver doesn't come on.
System Preferences -> Dashboard & Exposé
(yeah, odd place, I know)
Set the bottom-left screen corner to "Disable Screen Saver". After doing that, you can move your mouse to that corner to stop the screen saver from coming on.
I'm not sure if there is a similar option for disabling sleep, though.
