You don't need to uninstall from the Amazon Firestick. Just to go settings, manage applications, choose Netflix,clear data and cache. Then go login to Netflix.

In the video, the call to parse!/1 returns the text in the html section. Guess that's a bug?

Re: Custom fixed size listbox items in IronPython in 30 seconds

That could just as easily be my fault. I guess we'll find out tomorrow how to make it better :)

A lot of the listbox setup you could do in the ListBox() call by providing names args, it is only really the method casing that throws me - but then I am a C# monkey :(

I am wondering if I could cheat and get the __init__ down to one line of code like..

self.Controls.AddRange( [ListBox(Location=..., DrawMode = ...)] )

Will try during my lunch break...

China produces less than 4% of the world's exports - so if you are sending them all your money your are clearly overpaying.

Or you could wait for this - http://www.freenet.org.nz/d... Looks impressive but only at 0.2

The sample usage looks nice -

clip = File("myrawclip.vob")
part1 = clip[:1125] # first 45 secs (1125 frames @ 25fps)
part2 = clip[3250:3750] # 20 secs, starting at 2mins10

# create the composite clip which is a 5-second transition (125 frames)
result = CrossfadeTransition(part1, part2, 125)

Re: Knowing.NET - I'm Looking to Hire Freelance Ruby Programmers

It is *painfully* hard to be a freelancer in the UK, the agencies don't help, and as you mention earlier is very dependant on existing clients unless you are willing to run the agency treadmill (which benefits nobody when they just do keyword matches on CVs).

Luckily I got my previous and current work through friends, but I am dreading that work running out in the next couple of months. It is worse still if you are trying to change track, getting Python work with so much .Net experience is surprisingly hard.

There are good developers out there, I just think they are incredibly hard to find and as Steve Mcleod pointed out, if you find them, do everything you can to keep them :)

Did you see that TLS and SASL PLAIN are required for authentication with gtalk?

You could try working with OpenFire to get started it's reasonably easy to use as a server.

I love Paris, but it always amazes me that it is only 200 miles geographically from London but a million miles culturally.

Sorry I can't be more help, but apparently EyeTV can put them into iTunes ready for your AppleTV (and once there you know they are H264/AAC format that you can drag out into something else).

Or you could automate it with Applescript ..
