Having finally got MCE 2005 up and running in my home I've started having those developer thoughts about extending it for my purposes. Now one of the initial frustrations for me was being unable to jump through films, audio etc to a specific place using the remote.

Anyway I was about to launch into writing something myself when I came across Stephen Toub's blog and more specifically this post. Seems he's done the hard work for me. Good man!

Pastures new

Well it's been a little while since I've blogged as there has been a fair bit of change going on in my work life. I'm pleased to say that I've accepted a role as Technical Consultant in the .Net space for Conchango.

It's a very exciting prospect for me to be joining a Microsoft Gold Partner and a company that sits on a number of Microsoft's global business Partner Advisory Councils. I'll be sorry to leave my whitehall home but I'm really looking forward to starting with my new colleagues.
