Aide Mèmoire

[Black Hole]

I realise I am in a fortunate position with multiple HDR-FOXes (so it's a "first world problem"), but I'm looking for a clever idea for reminding me what each machine is set up for. At the top level it isn't a problem: one is set up to grab multi-region news programmes, another records the late weather daily, and the last does radio and converts it to MP3.

However, I tend to forget which one has youtube-dl installed, or is best for commercial services because it does detectads.

Maybe a user summary field on the WebIF front page?

• Add clues in the machine names
• Install packages on all machines
• Memory training

What was the first one again?

What was the first one again?

Ten past three.
TEN PAST THREE.

I agree that a user editable notes/comments box would be useful.

Could even scroll like the twitter ticker.

Tent past the tree? I'll go for a pee...

Tell me where you want it and how it should look, and I'll see what I can do.

How about as a subtext to the machine name in the title block?
