Another Netflix/Greasemonkey Hack

Ahh.. Since I'm using all the Profiles on my account myself I'll keep using Listology to store the queues for easy viewing.

BTW, is the Listology RSS feed gone or just moved?

Ok. Thanks, Jim.

Netflix Greasemonkey Script

Hmm.. I know that Opera is also capable of using GreaseMonkey scripts. Does anyone know if it can use scripts designed for Firefox or if they need to be specifically tailored for Opera?

"Ohio" Music

If you get desperate, there's always the "Cincinnati" song from the Keanu Reeves version of Babes in Toyland. :-)

I come from C-I-N-C-I-N-N-A-T-I, Cincinnati!
The best town in O-H-I-O, Ohio USA!

I think perhaps the list pre-dates Whale Rider.

Which are your initials? (Just for fun)

AP - as in journalism and really difficult exams. My 3 letter initials are the same as an Australian financial company. It was great seeing huge buildings in Sydney with my name on them. :-)

Films Seen: Listology Scoreboard 2006

2003: 268 films
2004: 268 films
2005: 212 films

Guess that's what happens when you discover TV on DVD. ;-) I'll try to do better this year, though.

What the heck... I'll be happy if I can top 250 this year.

2006 TV on DVD Viewing Log

If I can find a copy of those, sure! I actually had said "Taming of the Shrew" out from the local library once but had to return it before watching it. Wouldn't you know, I haven't seen it on shelf since. Someone must've pinched it! I should move it up my Netflix queue.

Speaking of Netflix, my selections this weekend include "Doctor Who: City of Death" with a cameo by a rather tall lad. I think I'll go watch it now..

location, location, location

I confess I'm quite fond of Bootmen. I mean, I love Australian movies in general, but guys dancing in jeans and boots really gets my engine running. Surely Adam Garcia is a name some have heard of... Coyote Ugly, Driving in Cars with Boys.. heck, he was the voice of Kangaroo Jack! ;-)

Great Freeware Alternatives for EVERYTHING

Remote Selector - I'm not sure this fits into your list, but it's still the most awesome freeware I've ever come across. It makes PC DVD players region free, eliminates MacroVision and even lets you bypass those annoying FBI warnings. You used to have to pay for it, but when the developer decided to stop updating it, he made it free!

As long as they'll keep updating the list I'm all for it.

NicheFlix a la Carte

I wonder how they really decide what DVDs to use with a la carte. I know they say it's pricey and HTF stuff, but I spot "Somersault" under European films. It's a new release Australian Film, only just out on DVD and probably not that difficult or (comparatively) expensive for them to buy.

I hope they add more TV sets to a la carte. I have a knack of beginning a series right before one of the other discs goes missing.
