The Media Center show interview & Media Center in the kitchen!?

EnglishBloke — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 19:39:00 GMT

Hey Guys, I've been quiet the last few weeks, I've been busy working away at a few projects and getting foundations setup to take part as a Microsoft Champion in the Media Center, Home Server community.

You can read a bit more about this on blog at thedigitallifestyle.com : MCML blog.

In relation to that I recently did an interview with Ian Dixon, from the Media Center Show Podcast and thedigitallifestyle.com. It was released yesterday and you can listen to it at the Media Center Show podcast linked above.

I also took part in a fun event with Ian a couple of weeks ago. Ian hosted the Media Center Awards Show 2007 live over uStream. I was a guest on the awards show via Skype, the show had guests and winners from the literally the 4 corners of the world! I also announced my involvement in the Champion program on this event.

I've also been working hard on my integration between WHS and Media Center that I've mentioned a few times before. (Previously known as WHS Recorded TV Manager, although it will be released under a new title TBA).

That project is so near to completion now it hurts; I've just been very busy and haven't had a chance to get it out there yet. However it's coming very soon and I think you'll like it :)

In addition I intend to release the source code to my Stage6 DivX plugin for Media Center over on my blog on thedigitallifestyle.com in the next week or so, so stay tuned for that :) - It will be used as a launch into some MCML programming articles to help you guys make your own add-ins for Vista MCE.

One other thing I've been working on is adding a Media Center system to my Kitchen. It's now complete and I'm very happy with it. Tell me what you think :)
As always please bombard me with questions if you have any and I'll do my best to help.

HP Crossfire brings Vista to the kitchen

The HP <dorkname>IQ770</dorkname> Crossfire looks like the first machine in a long while to reinvigorate the 'kitchen computer' category. By wrapping everything (sans sink) with a touchscreen, smart industrial design, and some luscious Vista Premium software, the kids from Palo Alto have cooked themselves a winner.

Engadget provides more Crossfire details.
