Not sure if it's been posted or not, but seems like someone else has joined the DVR fray: http://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv/index

Congrats!!

Yes, E's right. I am a lucky guy! There are some pros and cons to the setup (mostly pros). On the plus side, the touch screens are very nice looking, both display and housing. The system itself seems to be well-built and stable. Also with no propietary software the sky's the limit for...

Good find Dan. A freind of mine did something similar: http://www.upcweb.com/D3B/

I think the beating a dead horse comment is the best. No one is going to change anyone else's mind in this matter, no matter who's right or who's wrong. Whether it's Ski, Rupp, HST... whoever... all are going to stand by what they believe, even moreso if they feel bashed, since it's human...

Not sure how pertinant this is to the forums, but I think it's interesting.... in quite a few ways: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051205/tc_nm/media_xbox_dc

I used ECS for a number of years with great results. It was smooth and never, EVER crashed. The phone worked flawlessly, the only caveat being the modem brand. The only downfall that I saw was the restrictive scripting, which was (and probably still is) it's own subset of basic. Also, when I...

Mmfmfmm fmmf mfmmfmmfmmf Sorry, mouth full of food. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's easy to get the two confused. Then there's the pepper's ghost too so you can add that to the list of things to mix up :D We made an Axworthy bat last year using one of those mechanical bats that fly in a circle from a string on the ceiling. Didn't work too well but we at least have the...

Ooops, sorry Dan. You're doing an Axworthy ghost. That motor works well for the flying crank ghost. My bad. The fan should be great. And Squintz, try www.gotfog.com

E - The fan should work, but the only problem I can see is the speed. I have a cheap motor on my ghost that works great. It runs at 13.5 RPM and to me. That's about the speed you're looking for since any faster and the ghost might look like he's break dancing. Try this link out...

Great job on the lifter, Tony! Can you post a wiring diagram or is it as simple as it looks?

I have a flying crank ghost in my living room window every year. It gets the most comments. You can find a whole lot of info on them at: http://www.phantasmechanics.com/ Another method for eyes I found by mistake was using hot glue over leds. It spreads the light out like this: This is...

Nice one E. I'll be up all night tagging now!

I've hacked some Hawkeyes to use contacts for doors and windows. The script I use is self-written. For arming and disarming I use i-buttons or via text messaging if I happen to forget when I leave :P
