David BlumeMy next secret project has chosen itself. Since NetFlix announced and enacted the following: "We will be removing all metadata for the rental history, recently watched, at home, etc. in all expands for all endpoints," I have to come up with something that keeps my lifestream going for my DVD rental history, and which meets the spirit of their terms-and-conditions as an API developer.
It looks like I'll have to write a little POP or IMAP client to detect NetFlix's automatic "Your disc shipped" email messages, and create an RSS feed for the lifestream to aggregate.
And once I've written that... Hmm, I also have the Dead Man's Switch framework (and cache of posts/tweets/etc) just sitting there. Plug those two together, throw in a Markov chain algorithm, and interesting (and very creepy) possibilities emerge.
