If you, like me, had an Apple TV3 lying unused in a Box due its limited feature set, rejoice!

The GitHub site where the file is hosted mentions Windows & OSX Instructions.  I got it working on Ubuntu without too much effort.  Just need to spend more time making it work as a service.  Maybe somebody can help me out there.   Rough notes on my blog http://istoff.blogspot.com/

With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them.

I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
