People with TiVos and the ability to burn to DVD...

If there's anyone out there who has a TiVo and the ability to burn a program to DVD (and to mail it to me as soon as possible after it airs) and the National Geographic Channel, I just may need a copy of Fight Science. It airs next on Monday, at 9 Eastern/8 Central.


ETA: It is now EVEN MORE IMPORTANT because a thunderstorm just took out my cable, halfway through the show. AARG!

I recorded it with DVR earlier this week, and once I can set it up, will be transferring it to tape. I wish I had a way to transfer it to DVD, but I don't believe ours can.

If all else fails, want a copy on tape? (me and my archaic methods)

If all else fails, that will be good - I don't own a VCR, but if that's all I can get, it's better than not having it at all. :D Thanks. The getting-it-to-me-soon is sort of critical ... the thing I may be needing it for has a definite deadline.

(I'm going to be posting to the Cepheid list, too. And I can't say more than "may be needing it" until I talk to someone else. OOOO MYSTERIOUS)

That's fine. We went through something similar before with a sketching challenge you put on LJ (I'd have to hunt to find it), where you drew me something neat... a karate female, IIRC... but couldn't really describe much of the backstory until certain things were definite.

I said a bit more on the Cepheid list, since it's a private list instead of a public LJ. :D

Phooey... I can't log into the listserv. I think my login was tied to an email address that no longer exists. Oh well.

If I can find it for download on a torrent site, I can burn it for you.

[identity profile] rachel-renee.livejournal.com 2006-08-27 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I found it. Am downloading it as we speak.

Oooooh, sweet, thank you! Actually, would it be possible to send it to me via AIM or something similar? If you can do that, it would save much time and effort burning and mailing. If not, no prob. :D

Methinks when I'm not mooching internet on another's computer, I'll look into torrent sites.

*back to my archaic methods*

BT hardly even occurs to me anymore, since I haven't been able to use it in over a year. *cries*

LJ... the other instant messanger. :)

send me an email with your info. I can use "you send it" or msn messenger.

Where did you find it? *WANTS SO BAD* ;___; Never got to see it on TV, am so deprived.

You? ARE SO AWESOME! ^________^

Oh, I wanted to see that! Please bring it to Animefest if you can get it on DVD.

OT: Is the convention center frigidly airconditioned? What sort of clothes should I bring?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-08-27 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
1) Working on it. :D

2) It has been, although A-Kon is traditionally more frigid. Bring a jacket - outside it'll be hotter than hell, most likely, and chances are inside it'll be cold. I'm going to try to remember to bring my jacket home from work (our conference room is a meat locker) and put that on over my normal clothes. It might rain, too, so an umbrella, or a jacket that will serve to shield you from rain, or a cavalier attitude towards your hair might be called for, although if you opt for the jacket route, it'll still be hotter than hell, even when it's raining, most likely.

I got it all just now, and have DVDs available. Do you still need it?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-08-27 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got someone downloading it who will send it to me via IM. But if for some reason that doens't work out, I may just be contacting you, crying "Heeeelp!" :D Thanks!

Oh crap, that shit is heading our way! Is it really that bad?
In Austin...

It was a good, solid thunderstorm that set off car alarms but not a tornado-producing kind of one up here.
