That's an easy one - busting my ass on Commerce Bank's Online Banking.  We've built a great development team and we've done amazing work in a short period.  I've come up with a bunch of stuff to blog about, too.

But right now, let's talk about what's on my mind most at the moment:  Time Warner's HD DVR, the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD sucks balls.  I finally talked my wife into letting me get an HDTV (a super-sweet ViewSonic N3751W) for the living room, so we moved the HD DVR from the projector room downstairs to the living room and hooked it up with sweet, sweet HDMI (of which my rockin' sweet TV has three (!!!) ports).

Little did I realize, however, that this stupid DVR has far more problems than it's worth.  It starts recording shows that are half over, it cuts off recordings mid-program, and it reboots randomly.  It's just absolutely freakin terrible.

So my wife and I have decided that we're going to wait for Time Warner's forthcoming software upgrade.  If that doesn't improve matters, we're going to ditch the HD DVR altogether and get a TiVo Series3 with 2 cable cards.

Why the heck is it so hard for cable companies to get DVR software right???
