Interesting Tivo trivia bit
So I just noticed something amusing about the Tivo logo. The colors on the letters “Tivo” — red, green, yellow, blue. Those are, in order, ANSI code sequence numbers 31, 32, 33, and 34. The reason I discovered this is I was editing my MOTD file on my tivo<->wifi bridging gumstix and thought I’d be geeky and change it to include ANSI colorization with the right colors for Tivo. And I bet you soup to nuts that the reason the colors are there in that order in the logo is because some geeky engineer at Tivo long ago did the same thing, ANSI-colorizing some rendition of “Tivo” somewhere, and it stuck when they made the official logo.

Wonderful concise but not too concise summary of kernel version changes. Includes nice details at just the right level to allow one to understand what’s going on.
