Life is work

 Everything is work. Getting up in the morning, making coffee, brushing your teeth, showering and getting ready for the day. Then starting your day and focusing on the tasks at hand, whether you are paid for completing an assignment or just by showing up. Finding a good reason to get out of bed in the morning is not hard at all, your bladder makes that decision for you. Grogginess compels you to make coffee and hunger forces you to eat. Boredom persuades you to find something entertaining and enjoyable to do. While nature gives you the desire to find a compatible mate that fulfills lusts apatite and eventually the compulsion to procreate. The act and achievement of procreation will then mandate the need for more; more space, more disposable funding and time, but the two cancel each other. Life is work.

 Finding gratification in life while working is the hard part of life. I like to believe that there is no time limit on finding happiness in work while living life but as the years go by and one tries to find an equilibrium between happiness with life and work is hard work in of its self.

The future of television...

I see the future of television coming to apex soon, and the ones on top will be those who were not afraid of the future or change. The good ol' boy broadcasters will have to come to an agreement not only with the ISP's but also the view public, who's eyes balls on screen drive ad revenue.
I see the future of television where the broadcast networks will pay ISP's a fee to not count the data flow to and from their networks against their internet subscribers, there by eliminating data caps. Most everyone has an internet connection instead of a cable or satellite service for viewing television. There will be a more accurate rating system from logins than from Nielson ratings and phone polls. People would spend more time on particular Network/broadcaster site watching there favorite shows and having to sit through the ads to continue watching there by generating more revenue for the network, as long as they have quality programming and up time.

I spend more time watch netcast than broadcast television except for local news. Two sites of good quality are Revision3.com and TWiT.tv who born from the demise of TechTv, a network that was bought by comcast and merged with G4tv. G4 was a network solely for all things gaming where TechTv was for all things tech, but it had a gaming show that was kicking the butt of the shows on G4. The two were merged and all the tech shows, especially the best show on The ScreenSavers were mangled in such a way that they were never the same, the Screensaver was deformed into Attack of the Show, which is a ratings slug (not good). The G4 network is now like the Spike network all COPs reruns 23 hours a day.
The networks and ISP's are at a crossroad one way leads to doom the other to prosperity. People would rather pay for an internet connection rather than cable television. The networks loose eyeballs and ad sales, the have to get on the broadband band wagon. But, the ISP's have a strangle hold on data through put, so the networks will end up paying the ISP's to loosen their grip on the data caps. Freeing us to watch what we want and when we want with out having to pay for two pipes of entertainment into our homes.

New iTunes 10.2.2.12 unorganised!

  I up graded to the new version of itunes the other day, but today tried to use TVersity to stream my itunes podcasts from the home PC through Xbox360 so that I could watch them on the big screen, there was a problem. TVersity wasn't showing the new podcasts that I just downloaded to watch. I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong. At first I thought TVersity wasn't refreshing the folder info, so I put new stuff into the folder it could see; it saw them. Just not the podcasts folders, so I looked into the podcast folders and none of the new stuff I just DL'd were there.

  I look into the iTunes preferences, nothing has changed from the settings I always use. The new vids I just DL'd are visible in the all podcast window in iTunes. So I right click on a newly DL'd podcast to see where it was located. Low and behold iTunes created a new sub folder called "Download" in the iTunes folder and put the podcast folder into it, giving each individual file it's own folder instead of the old way of having a folder just for that podcast and putting the new files into it.

  This really screws up how TVersity sees the podcast folder. Instead of a few folders for each netcast that I subscribe to with all the shows in the same folder (all TNT shows in one folder) each update to a podcast has it's own folder! I know it's just one extra click on the remote but trying to scan the menu for the one show I want to watch is that more time consuming. Annoying!

Is there away to change this?
