in Arduino IR remote control - more advanced on rtfa.net
Wow, this is fantastic-- thanks, farkinga!! Good thing I have some old Sony remotes-- my TiVo and Denon remotes produce only errors-- I got codes for every button! Nice clean code-- I am munging it with excellent results...:) BTW are you sure you're using 10K resistors for the LEDs and not 100s? With 10K, you wouldn't get much (if any) light.

Franklin, the wiring of the IR receiver is very simple-- I'm using a scrounged HS0038A2:

and it works the same as the RS one, I think-- pin 1 to gnd, pin 2 to vcc, and pin 3 to Arduino pin 7 through a 220 ohm resistor.

in HOWTO Setup WebDAV on Mac OS X Leopard for syncing OmniFocus to iPhone on Manas Tungare
Worked like a charm, thanks!

Great instructions, but I'm not one to use a shell-based text editor so I sudo chmod'd the files so I could use jEdit, then set their permissions back.

Steve, wtf man?! What crazy mutant weed is that?! Nothing like that Michoacan-- never seen a bud growing on a leaf like that... Either show a bud, or show a leaf-- please stop, don't make us crazy flashing that just-for-me genetically engineered super hyper freakshow weed... unless you're holding...? [COUGH!]

in OhGizmo! » Archive » Nikon Announces D60 (Meh), Tilt/Shift Lens (Yay!) on OhGizmo!
While a simple tilt shift lens like a Lens Baby will get lovely angled depth of field effects like these, tilt shift lens are often used for architectural photography in order to make the vertical lines parallel in the image. With a bellows camera, the photographer would tilt the film back until the building's vertical lines were parallel, but the effect is the same-- it corrects the keystone distortion one would see through a centered lens when tilting up to see the whole building.

in <i>La Putain Verte</i> on John-Paul Pagano
Czech absinthe is very different from Swiss/French absinthe, and widely considered inferior and putrid. Happily, the absinthe being approved and making it to U.S. store shelves is the real deal-- carefully crafted with whole herbs and high quality base spirits derived from wine or beets.

Santé!

Guanubian Thanks for the note. I'll try it, but I still doubt I'll ever dance with the spirit of Edgar Allen Poe in the green moonlight.
