XBox360 on the brain

No, not me, but the lower cased one seems to have XBox360 on the brain.  OK, I saw him at the Wisconsin INETA meeting on Tuesday, where Damon Payne ("Mr. I have two blogs"; his other one is here because "Everybody Loves Damon") presented on the .NET Compact Framework, and he (not Damon, stay with me here) seems more PUMPT AHP than ever, but every time I read his blog it is "supplements this" and "XBox360 that".  When are we gonna see that "facial recognition" software?

Seriously, the lower cased one has just released /mceDivX360, an application that allows you to use your Media Center PC to stream DivX content to an XBox360.  The article details the development process, as usual, and includes full source code for those that want to give this a whirl.

Great, I don't even have an XBox360 (and I won't get one for a while or I will get NO research or development done), and already people are starting to use them for purposes other than gaming.

Oh yeah, by the way, the guy is all heart, too and thinks of his friends. I now owe him a big favor for a recent gift and no it didn't involve an XBox360 or Media Center anything or even supplements, but just a simple hunk of metal.  Thanks again, man.

Updated to add:  the lower cased one gets linked at digg.com, causing server performance degradation at his site.
