0201726831 With loads of inspiration and help from: John C.’s Macro Magic review macro (used as a starting point), Brad Choate’s MTPerlScript and MTMacro plugins, MTAmazon from Kalsey Consulting Group, and Invaluable help with installing expat from David Wheeler, I’ve now got a nify little macro that displays an image of the movie/book/music that I’m…

Mark is easily distracted and seems not to require sleep. However, this is an illusion. He is mortal, like you. Perhaps doubly so. He makes videos and a little bit of art and design. He also watches way too many movies and jokes around on Twitter.
Netflix Freak
The recently lamented demise of Netflix Fanatic is now mitigated by the appearance of its seemingly long-lost twin brother, Netflix Freak.
