I just checked http://mysettopbox.tv/ for any updates on the release and it looks like Cecil is going to work for Microsoft:


"... I got a call from Jeff yesterday and he has sweetened the deal. Not only will Microsoft double my income, I can work on KnoppMyth 30% of my time. In addition, I'll have full access to their hardware labs to test KnoppMyth.

So, starting April 21st, I'll be a full time Microsoft employee."

I guess we can all bag the next release. ftw?

I was hoping Cecil might hook up with Apple. He really likes their products!

Let's see, what was it last year? Oh, here it is:

If you have not noticed, I've been rather busy with work for the last several months. By now, I'd hope to have made another release public. Unfortunately due to work and other changes in my personal life, I'll no longer be able to maintain KnoppMyth.

That one caused quite the stir as well...

That one actually scared me for a second. I knew this one was coming! ;)

I really fell for that one last year...I just glimpsed at it and my heart sunk. I didn't log in for a few weeks after that so I actually told my wife I didn't know what excuses I'd have in the future to mess up our KM box. :)

It is the 2nd of April here today and I read the front page and laughed, cried and thought Cecil was a sellout. Then I came across this post and thought, I am such an ID 10 T.

Every year he cames out with a new one, I wonder how long it takes him to think of these things. Maybe this is the reason he wasn't working last week, taking time out to think of an April Fools.

I suppose with the news that Cecil was joining M$ that is why there shares drop 95% :P

Drop? It's up over a point today... (about a 3.95% gain) http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=MSFT

Although I didn't see anything about Cecil in the related news items. ;-)
