I tried out the MS AntiSpyware beta; on my Windows XP machine that has AdAware and Spybot loaded, it found one additional piece of spyware. Its interface is consistent with the Windows Security interface of XP SP2. It may be a good thing for XP users to use.

I've been working on an hourly script for ICYG playlist generation that takes a different tack than I have in the past. It looks at the live log file for history information, and then puts together an hour-plus long playlist and queues it up in the main ICYG FB2K instance. Previously, I was generating one playlist per day, with no outside history information used. I'm currently limited to a recurring run of a command (in this case, a .cmd script) using the FB2K scheduler plugin, but since my script uses an .ini file, I can play with shuffling around multiple valid .ini files via an outside process to achieve a certain level of programmability by hour. This is a work in progress, so we'll see how it goes.

Melissa and I were happy to see a new "Lost" and the return of "Alias" last night. This is the first time we've been able to see a new Alias in HD since WHTM-DT went live, and it was cool. It's a well-filmed show and shines in HD. Without spoiling it too much, they seem to be going back to the feeling of the first two seasons, although the way they're doing it is a bit hokey (to me). I guess we can discuss spoilers in comments...
