Manageability at Yahoo's Tech Tuesday

I got featured on Yahoo's Tech Tuesday. It's about my trial and tribulations with UPnP media servers. I wrote about "UPnP Media Servers not being Ready for Prime Time" and it was picked up by the more 'traditional' press. Here's a snippet of what they wrote:

"My intent was to use the computer as a main server and store DVDs and recorded TV episodes so I could access them wirelessly from the living room and stream it into the player," Perez explains. "The nice draw was that it came with a wireless 802.11g card. I didn't want to have to wire a cable to the basement."

Unfortunately, the Connected DVD player (recently discontinued) sorely disappointed Perez. Network connectivity problems, a poor on-screen interface, and video playback issues all but scuttled his efforts to bridge the gap between the home PC and the entertainment center. Today, Perez's Connected DVD serves as a regular progressive scan DVD player. Perez hopes one day to coax life out of the unit by hacking the server software.

Unfortunately, they made me out to look like a cracker (i.e. "store DVDs") and a hacker (i.e. "hacking the server software"). I would have been happier if they would just plugged my blog. I guess this comes with the territory. When you agree to being interviewed you essential give up control of what they can print!
