KnoppMyth creater joining Microsoft!
For those who don't know, knoppmyth and MCE (media centre edition) are Digital Video Recorders (DVR) which are PC based and allow you to turn your PC into a full blown media centre/tv recorder. Both systems are well developed, with advantages and disadvantages for using either system.
Recently Cecil from Knoppmyth posted on his website that he will be working in Microsofts Media Centre division, so the future my two favourite DVR are being joined as it were.
I can only say Microsofts Media Centre Edition will be rapidly improving after Cecil from Knoppmyth joins the dark side.
Excerpt from knoppmyth website.
'I got a call from Jeff yesterday and he has sweetened the deal. Not only will Microsoft double my income, I can work on KnoppMyth 30% of my time. In addition, I'll have full access to their hardware labs to test KnoppMyth.'

Royal Easter Show
The last time we went to the easter show was back in 2001. Not much has changed, except the prices have gone up enormously. $4 for a 600ml Bottle of coke was just the start. Most rides were over $10 , one was $30 for a single ride! I was more scared of the prices than the rides! The show bags were the usual crap, I bought one showbag with a little garfield for $6 and that was enough. Still had a great time though. Might go in another 7 years or so.

Google visits Sydney!
For all you Google earth fans, check out the not so recently updated satelite pictures of sydney, you'll notice many new bus lanes. Notice the lane cove tunnel is still not completed, and epping road is still three lanes, but at least you can see the tunnel is there! At least it's better than a picture that was about 4 years old.
Incidently Google visited my humble blog 3 days ago. Way to go google, I may even get some google indexes soon! http://www.google.com/search?q=site:roving.blogspot.com&hl=en
