I’m looking forward to having TiVo available for this year’s Tour de France. Four more days until Saturday’s prologue. I probably won’t visit the official English site of the Tour de France very often during the Tour, since I’d rather watch it for myself. Be warned, though: www.tourdefrance.com (deliberately not linked) seems to be bad news. The index page looks appropriate, but clicking on those links tried to download some crazy dialer application. One more reason I’m glad I was using Safari, although I would hope that IE on Windows would have the appropriate security settings to foil the attack (if that’s what it is). You never know.
