BBC iplayer and Xbox 360
There seems to be some news around that you cannot watch bbc iplayer on the 360. Just install the i player on your PC then stream it to the 360 with media center (vista or MCE). the only problem i had with it was the security permissions need changing to allow the mcx1 (the system account that the 360 accesses the pc as)system account access to the download video file.
Not sure but if you install the MCE web browser you maybe able to select and download the video from the bbc site, then you only need to change the permissions on the video file, i have try changing some of the permissions groups and running different bits under different accounts but have not got around it yet, probably something really easythat i have missed.

Gigs
Just picked up my ticket for Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany and Dark Tranquility in London. They should both be good experiences in what seems to be a very slow year for Gigs, Normally there are a number of shows coming up in the early months of the year, as a start of the run up to the summer festivals.

Vista Gadgets - First attempt
I thought i might try writing a gadget for Vista, the problem i normally have with things like this is trying to find a purpose for the project. The same week i started playing Hellgate:London and noticed that it uses Xfire for voice communications. So i thought would try to make a gadget to show xfire friends status.
the result can be downloaded : Xfire.Gadget
(the file should be called xfire.gadget to install correctly)
The detailed view takes awhile to load and can take afew clicks to appear, i think this is down to using the profile images generated by the xfire site.
