If you're a Netflix user and already have a Media Center PC, then you know why this is badly needed. Hopefully this guy will be able to figure out the best way to make the two play nicely together.

I for one would be stoked when it's all up and running, but I would just need to get this TV to go along with the new functionality....

Welcome to the blog that breaks no boundaries
My name is David, and I'm starting this blog for my CTS 287 class, which I'm glad to tell is my very last class! So if I can just keep this think going for the semester, I'll be on my way to finally graduating. Now with a memory as horrible as mine, that could be a challenge. Oh well, read on for a little extra insight into me...
I've been playing in the IT field for almost a decade now, and have become really good at pretending I always know what I'm doing. As anyone else in IT can tell you, that's 80% of the work right there, convincing others that you know what you're doing is another 15%, and the last 5% is unfortunately for the work itself.
I've done all sorts of things over the years, from working with and maintaining ATM's, mainframes, servers, routers, switches, etc on a very large network, to my current job in Information Reporting. All of these jobs have taken place behind the same bank doors, so while sheltered in one place, I've been very fortunate to hold the positions I have. Currently I take massive amounts of corporate data, pull it all together and package to give to various departments for their research and reporting needs. Examples are for strategic marketing, fraud detection, anti-money laundering, and risk assessment. My primary tool is SAS, which with little to no programming experience, was quite fun to pick up and learn from scratch. It's got to be one of the most powerful applications I've ever used, in a megalomaniac sort of way.
Well that should be enough to satisfy the teach, and if I post anymore, I'll start to think you're creepy for reading all this and learning too much about me. Until the next post. I know you're so excited you just can't wait..................
