Blu-Ray on Netflix profiles

I just got off the phone with Netflix support. I had signed up for BD support but the profiles didn't have it.

Here's how you enable it on a profile:
 1. Find a movie in the profile's queue that has Blu-Ray.
 2. Remove it from the queue
 3. Search for it.
 4. Add it back.
 5. You'll see a link that says that movie is also on Blu-Ray.
 6. Click the link.
 7. It says this profile doesn't have Blu-Ray access.
 8. Click "Change"
 9. Allow Blu-Ray for that profile.

Very convoluted and a pain, but at least the answer wasn't "NO."

Don't eat the popcorn!

"Going to the movies and eating a large popcorn (and sneaking out for a free refill) is part of my retirement savings plan. I need to die at age 67 before my retirement savings runs out."

I always think it is funny when I see "Fort Cove 2200" on I-70.

DD-WRT

So I bought a wireless N router for $35 the other day. Hacked it today with DD-WRT.

It is AWESOME. I want a second to make a WLAN bridge for the entertainment center. Amazon is out of stock until JANUARY. And they raised the price by $5. :(

So, I figure check NewEgg. They had it for $45. OK, fine, another $5 and I get it before Christmas. So I cancel my Amazon order. Go to NewEgg via FatWallet to make sure to get my 1% back. Now NewEgg has it for $70! It was $45 15 minutes ago!!!

DAMMIT!

So now it is on back-order again at Amazon... :(

Wow, Disney, that's pretty dickish.

Makes me feel bad that I actually bought it.

@kerry: The protagonist of the movie is a 78-year-old who wears hearing aids. The irony's so thick you can cut it with a knife.
