How to Re-activate Netflix on your XBox 360
My Room mate got excited when NXE came out for the xbox 360. He downloaded and activated the Netflix app for Xbox 360 while I was out of town. But he doesn’t have an unlimited account, or good taste in movies for that matter. Here are some quick directions to get rid of your existing activation code and input a new one.
1. In the Guide, select the Settings blade, and then select System Settings.
2. Select Memory.
3. Select Hard Drive or Memory Card.
4. Select Games.
5. Locate any select items that refer to “Netflix.”
6. Press the A button to delete the items.
7. Exit to the Xbox 360 Dashboard.
8. Open the Video Marketplace.
9. Select Netflix.
10. Confirm the download, and follow any on-screen prompts to reconfigure Netflix on your Xbox 360 console.
You will now get a new activation code.
At this point, Netflix actually told me to “FUX OF” , but i’m persistent like that and i got a new activation.

EasyCGI SUCKS
After a week of Hindoogle being down, along with all of my homework, music, and blog, I finally switched to a new web host.
EasyCGI, who i was a loyal customer of for 3+ years, apparently sold out to a shitty company, and decided to “migrate” all of its users from perfectly good Windows 2003 servers to some other configuration. They didn’t test anything, and put up a half-ass control panel. Their support staff gives answers like “Did you refresh your browser?” when i tell them that my entire MySQL database is inaccessible. They did an excellent job copying files (hooray) to the new server, but screwed up all the database stuff.
Anyway, I suppose I’m lucky because nothing on hindoogle generates any money, and downtime is a nuisance and not a business loss. I feel bad for other EasyCGI customers that relied upon them for business. Is this any way to treat longtime customers?
I Joined eApps.com , per Jason’s recommendation, and am _VERY_ satisfied. I can start putting up my Ruby on Rails business ideas here :)
This site is currently hosted by Eapps.com. They are a VERY good host, not a single day of downtime since November 2008. They promptly and properly answer all of my questions. I have a Linux private VPS for $11 a month, which is a steal. VPS is far superior to shared windows hosting. If you want to earn me a free month, please click this link to sign up with eapps and list “Rajat Banerjee” as your referrer. Thanks I appreciate it!

obi-wan
i keep thinking, what if Obi-Wan Kenobi had killed Anakin Skywalker on the lava planet of Mustafar? Anakin symbolized Obi-Wan’s weakness and failures. Had Obi-Wan killed Anakin when it was obvious that he’d failed as a Anakin’s instructor and Anakin had crossed to the dark side, the galaxy would have been changed forever. Darth Sidious would not have gotten his apprentice, and the Jedi knights would have survived to this date.
When Obi-Wan had the opportunity to kill Anakin, he should have taken it. Instead he demonstrated the Jedi’s legendary mercy. But perhaps it was actually vindictiveness, as Anakin smoldered on the ground beside his severed limbs. Whatever, Obiwan should have just done it.
manu chao!
finally finished my case study for MSE252!
I just finished posting the new Manu Chao album on Hindoogle Music. Drop a comment (with your email in the e-field) and i’ll send you the link!
Unfort it doesn’t have bongo bong on it, one of his best songs ever. Click below to listen.
In other news, me and my hottie are going to San Fran for new years, and planning to go to London in April. The long distance is extremely hard and I miss her very much. I think the rewards later on may make up for some of it.
