Back to my silly TV listings issue:
Listings - Yahoo! TV

It's still broken on Monday, though I did get a response this morning to the email I sent at 10:09am Sunday:

Check out my nifty table made by manually typing from Adelphia, importing from Yahoo to Excel, then pasting to Notepad before adding to my email.
I just Googled -california adelphia channel lineup- and learned I wasted five minutes typing from the TV screen. What an idiot.

But I'm a much faster typer after this game:
TyperShark
Loads of fun.

Why didn't I just link Betty and Sam from Yahoo! to Adelphia's web channel listing?
How much time is this really worth? Not this much.

Oh, here's that email this morning...Betty's up at 3am PDT?
