xBox and iPlayer

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded xbmc on the xbox to the latest version.

The best new feature is the plugin layouts. I've added bbc iPlayer ( from google code ) and ITV catchup.
Such an amazingly useful piece of hardware now, I can watch my torrents, dvd's, play music, a/v streams and even my photos.
Haven't figured out the connection to iTunes yet.

It was a bit confusing, and here's how I needed to do it, just in case I break it again.

Boot up Splinter Cell and select the saved linux game.
Boot into linux
Copy over xbmc into E:/xbmc

reboot

Election

Well, I stayed up the whole of the night watching the election results in the USA, found it all quite emotional which I wasn't expecting. Can't help but feel that the world has changed, and hopefully for the better.

Major disappointment, the passing of Proposition 8 in California. What a terrible thing to do. Maybe the solution needs to be different but a great slap in the face when the Obama result represents the next page in the Civil Rights movement. How ironic.

Hopefully change is coming.....
