Adam Thole has constructed a very nice tilt enabled xbox 360 controller using a Freescale MMA6260Q 2-axis accelerometer. Adam is reading the output from the accelerometer using a ADC into a microcontroller, processing it, then outputting the result back to the 360 controller using an DAC. This to me seemed …
A simple game of logic I wrote cause Saturday night TV really sucked :-P

Believer: Worship the invisible pink unicorn.
Atheist: Sorry, I don't believe he exists.
Believer: Prove it.
Atheist: Huh?? Why should *I* come up with proof? Ok, I can try: I don't see him.

I am one of those weird people who like to run a full screen X11 in OS X - its just me. This means of course I run into certain problems when I need to copy-n-paste between Aqua and X11.
Copying from Aqua into X11 works fine, but not the other …
So now I am home again.
Since I am in hospital again, I have to used unwired to get online.
Now at the best of times, unwired is pretty dodgy in terms of reception where RPA is located, so I am constantly doing the unwired-dance of trying to locate the mystical "sweet spot" in and around …

At least this time I have unwired, though the reception could be better :-)

They finally got sick of me in hospital and let me go :-)
Time to play with my new toys and see if I can get ADSL2 @ home.
Cheers,
Steve
Time to go back. >:(
