Dear friend
I'm starting to dislike the expression don't fix what's not broken. I kind of wish people would stop saying it. I think it's human nature to not just fix what's broken, but to improve on things that aren't. Just because something works doesn't mean it's working the best possible way it can. Black and white TV wasn't broken, was it? Colour TV still came into existence. Candles and oil lamps worked well, the light bulb just made everything so much easier.

I've not been doing much game development lately, and for justifiable reasons (at least, to me).
I wrote this article in 2014 back when Netflix used Silverlight to transmit its content. Since then, Netflix has moved to HTML5 and this article is now obsolete. However, I'm keeping it here for posterity and because frankly I'm a data hoarder.
It's been announced that Netflix plans to ditch Silverlight and go HTML5 with their video player. But until such a time rises, Linux users will have some difficulty using Netflix.
We'll be acquainted soon…

Simple enough for you?
Windows 8 hit the shelves recently, so I thought I'd give my input on my experience so far. Based on a 1 day experience, I've already found some very decision-making differences from Windows 7 or any other previous versions of Windows that might affect whether or not I'm going to stick with it.
So here goes!

Every writer needs some inspiration to get the ball rolling. Something to give them that boost. Something that they can write about, and it sticks out and tells the world “Hey! I'm interesting enough to spill my mindset to the anonymous blog dwellers out there!” Thankfully, I am not a writer. I like to think of myself as a hobbyist, given that I blindly let my fingers hit the keyboard and extract what's inside that brain of mine. But I don't dedicate myself full time to this sort of thing. Just on occasion. Most days. Whenever I feel like it. Potato.
