Wednesday, 4 February '09: Logic3 FreeBird Working with WiimoteLib

Hi Just to let you know that I have just had some joy with the Logic3 nunchuck and version 1.7 of WiimoteLib.

You must start with the chuck turned off then once everything has been initialized hit the fc paring button and your all systems go.

497-2497-4

The lib views the chuck as the unknown device: a42000000, thus, in order to get it working at this initial stage Read..

Thursday, 15 January '09: How to Reset The Norton 360 Security Map

In Norton 360v2, you are only able to remove manually added devices from the Network Security map.

Once you manually add a device, select that device and you should see a [Remove] link below the Restrict/Unlock button.

This fact is a bloody pain if like me you have an ever changing network, however you can wipe out your current map by uninstalling your NIC (Network Interface Card) drivers as follows:

  1. Go to start
  2. right click on computer
  3. select manage
  4. click on device manager
  5. click on network adapters
  6. right click on your NIC and select uninstall
  7. reboot and let windows reinstall the NIC

I suggest that you then manualy add each machine to your system via its mac address so you can easly remove them in future if need’s be. Using the MAC enables you too have auto configuration for IP etc.

Just in case you need that also.

Tuesday, 6 January '09: Introducing Jing Pro

I have had a great fondness of the Jing application ever since I discovered it back in July. Today techsmith.com have introduced  Jing Pro with some great new features. The official spiel goes as follows:

Source:

Today marks an exciting and long awaited milestone for Jing. After endless feedback and requests from passionate users like you, we are pleased to announce Jing Pro!

Jing Pro brings you simply the best-in-class experience for quick visual online conversation. Imagine everything you already know and love about Jing, then add:

  • HD quality video for the web
  • Direct output to YouTube
  • No more branding on the end of your videos.

Pretty sweet, huh? Best yet, it’s only $14.95/yr. (Yep, that’s a mere 28.8 cents a week)

Now, for you video gurus out there, Jing Pro now encodes in real-time directly to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC as well as the SWF format Jing has been using. This provides ample flexibility to share your Jing Pro videos just about anywhere. And for those who have been itching to tweak their Jing videos, these new Jing Pro videos will import into Camtasia Studio 6 and iMovie to edit, merge or anything you want.

Of course you’re probably thinking, “Oh – here’s the catch now they are going to make us all upgrade to Jing Pro, right?” Nope, that’s not our style :-) You can continue to use Jing for free just as you always have (in fact, even the free version received a couple enhancements today). Our commitment is still focused on bringing simple visual communication to the world. We just realized that a lot of you needed just a little bit more and Jing Pro is here to answer that call.

So, enough talk – let’s Jing! You can check out Jing and Jing Pro at www.jingproject.com.

Full review on the way.

Saturday, 29 December '07: Wii Hacked

Those clever LINUX buggers have done it again! This time providing means for homebrew code to run on your wii without need for a mod-chip.

For more details check out the video.

Source: youtube

Some hackers from Germany have just showed off their fully hacked Wii at the 24th Annual Chaos Communication Congress. Nothing fancy is running yet, all they’ve achieved so far is a proof of concept that they’ve bypassed the Wii’s protection with some encryption codes they swiped from the Wii’s memory.

Apparently a bootable Linux DVD is on the way, and we can’t wait to see what homebrew coders manage to pull off with that Wiimote pointed where it belongs.

Tuesday, 7 August '07: The Nikko R2-D2

When I was just a little boy. My momma told me, you cant have, an R2-D2…

artoo_nikko.png

Well now i am older and I want one and this little guy’s pretty tricked out, however no Light-Saber, shame, but you do get the following:

  • Projector (200cm/80” Screen)
  • IPod Dock and Mp3 Player
  • FM transmitter
  • sound FX
  • Integrated CD / DVD Player
  • Millennium Falcon remote control

…among other things one of which I am guessing is a big price tag.

Monday, 16 July '07: The perfect Game

The ingenious folks over at battlebricks.com have built the ultimate Wii-Bowler. Powered by the cool Lego Mindstorm technology WiiGoBot is not the most hansom of chaps but has all the right moves:

wiigobot.jpg

You are looking at a Wii Remote mounted on a robotically controlled swing. A second motor is used to trigger the bowling, by first Pressing the A button and left arrow, and then holding down the B button, swinging, and finally releasing the B button.

Unable to get that perfect score or just want your own? battlebricks.com also kindly provide step by step instructions for building your own WiigoBot, the Lego NXT Mindstorms Wii Bowling Robot here.
