MythTV
Grabber
As some time ago our beloved grabbers using teveblad.be stopped working, we started looking for alternatives.
Some are using mc2xml now, which is unbelievably fast and has all the info you'll ever want.
I hacked together a script that used the Skynet-tv guide to get me going again.
Not all info was available, only dates & names, no extra info.
But it worked!

Recently I also added support for a second site.
Having already put some effort into this, I was thinking about making it a little project.
If some people start using it and provide some feedback ... svn ... bugtracking ... feature requests ...

There's only one thing that concerns me.
If a lot of people start using the same site for grabbing data, the sites will take precautions too.
I like the idea of the Mythportal guys: they put the guide online and everyone can download.
Only grabbed from the site once, but downloaded many times from another.
Well, this used to be the mythportal-way of doing it, after tvblad changed things, they were, in a very subtile way, checking wether people would pay for a guide.

So, if people are interested, contact me, maybe we can find a way to make the data available for everyone and to not scare the tvguide-sites too much.

Solaris
Update 6
Is available.
Have a look at the What's new page.

They finally made it possible to have zones on ZFS!
Well, it was already working, it just wan't supported :)
As a Solaris admin, you surely will have had following thoughts:
1. They have zones support!
2. They Have ZFS support!
3. Let's put zones on ZFS!
So it seems this really wasn't a good idea as it is only supported in update 6 and above ...
Or am I misunderstanding 'Solaris Containers on a ZFS root file system'
as it doesn't really matter for a zone wether it's installed on the root FS or not ...
Or is it ...
Someone, enlighten me!
