Another Well known song by ELO

Step One. The hardware.

• Buy a plug pc
• Get a USB IR blaster
• Put it all together with the LIRC

Step Two. The Software.

• Write an Android software app that ll connect to the plug over the Wifi & that ll send the right commands to be blasted. Oh & also make it flexible & possible to easilly add new remotes.. and to add combo buttons (kill all equiptment) and .. yeah! All that
  And More!!

Step Three. Install It.

• Connect up the plug
• The network
• The USB Stuff

and Enjoy the Android & Wifi powered universal remote

There s a lot of writing involved before any of this would work. But it d be worth it.. Fuck the expensive universal remotes, get with the Open!

And if this already exisits, please point me to where I can get the data to start enjoying this setup

Edit: Obviously the easiest piece of hardware would be a bluetooth IR blaster. Connect the phones to the device & blast away. This is what irked my interest, but I wasnt able to find any such device. And thats what triggered this post..

I had the pleasure of running into the overflow tmp system today This lovely simple backup thing is misconfigured, I am aware of this, and this dumps all my junk on the fucking root. Well, not the root, but the /var/backup/ , whatever, its the root partition And since that doesnt need to be big, it fills up REALLY quick

So the root was full & the script noticed this; kicking in & saving me with the a tmpfs thingy

The script responsible for mounting your /tmp as overflow is run at boot time (it is located in /etc/init.d/mountoverflowtmp). It runs a check to see if there is a minimum acceptable space on /tmp and if there is not, it mounts it overflow. It also checks for unneeded overflow tmpfs for /tmp and removes them if that is appropriate. That is why after you freed some disk space and rebooted everything went back to normal.

Its a cool system A great step toward the whole userfriendly thing

Now if they d only have made it a bit bigger 1mb isnt much..

Still – Bloody Cool System

Yes, Felicia Day is COOL

And so is The Guild

We saw Inglourious Basterds tonight..

Fun lil movie

And to be honest – the most refreshing part of the whole thing was that the languages were at least correct. The French wasnt butchered, the German didnt sound like someone puking – at least not more that it naturally does, the Italian sounded allright.. It was fresh not to be annoyed at those details. Which is apparently due to the cast of natural French and German speaking actors! Talented fresh actors no less!
