A Ghost Walks Past Originally uploaded by adq\uk I decided to take the DSLR I'd converted to a pure infrared camera along to see how well it worked in a club situation.

No progress on this over the weekend, as I was busy helping assemble a friend's CNC cupcake 3d printer.

I've been busy rewriting the usb\notifier stuff so that the msm72k\udc gagdet driver can be unloaded cleanly at runtime, yet still do the necessary power notification stuff.

I've just had word that (apart from a slight bug), the G1's USB host mode is now working too; the first completely independant confimation!

Cool, I see someone else has got USB host mode going on the (OMAP based) Motorola Droid..

Just compiled a Hero kernel with usb storage and hooked up my ipod to the phone; works perfectly.

For the last few days I've been busy figuring out how to support USB host mode on the HTC hero.

The next part of my TV control project was to cover the TV's IR sensor.

I'd been looking for a way for my media PC to control the power of the other devices in that system (sub, amp, tv).

Here we go!

I've been experimenting with the IR blasting TV control option.

In which I investigate tv control and accidentally stumble over the HDCP protocol.

Interesting, see this link on the reg Ofcom are asking people if the BBC should be allowed to apply their proposed programme listing DRM.

Wheee, at about 12am last night I decided that I really just had to port tigervnc to the latest 1.7.x xserver.

This evening I finished off my rsync script.

So, at the end of my previous post, I had rsync compiled and runnable on the phones via ssh.

I've been looking for a way to automatically backup my HTC Hero android phone.

Hey look, its an ordinary, common-or-garden coffee table: well mostly ordinary, this one seems to have rather an excessive amount of laptops/serial port hacking cables on it...

THEY ARE COMING Originally uploaded by adq\uk Photos from "Power Plant"; the Botanics Glasshouses by night.

Woo, finally, here is v3.0 of my etch tank: The main features/improvements of this version are: - Sensible 1.5L capacity (v1.0 was something stupid like 5L). - Tank now has a cover during operation

Well, mostly.

Or: what I did this afternoon.

Over the last week, I've been learning the android platform, from a software development point of view down to the platform development kit and below as usual.

Just spotted this on MAKE magazine: the use of vinyl dye to dye plastics.

We just got back from Leeds an hour or so ago; loads of fun, must definitely do it again!

A week or so ago, I finally broke and ordered a new SLR body.

A few days ago, I tried the thermal transfer onto brass again, this time with almost perfect success: There were a couple of small bits that failed, but I fixed them by hand with a permanent marker, b…

... was worse than 1.

My first attempt was to transfer the following laser printout on Epson photopaper onto the piece of brass below.

So, the calculations for the solution i've just created.

Behold!

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been resurrecting the linux support for the nokia 770 internet tablet.

I remember seeing some film industry bod on the TV recently saying that the new RealD 3d stuff was great because it couldn't be recorded in the cinema by the audience.

here's lookin' at you, kid Originally uploaded by adq\uk I spent some time chasing this beastie round the room this lunchtime..

I've just found this website.

I find this wonderful flickr set from the US Library of Congress give a completely different perspective being in colour...

Woohoo - just uploaded some more of my archived code to a new project at http://code.google.com/p/pyptp/.

I've just realised I'd never actually tried plugging the eframe into my PC.
