:lol: I think I got my first invite from a lounge lizard , and remember this was way before the Bitorrent section . Think it was Zed or some kind soul , never forgot it .


I think thats the only problem with the Bitorrent invasion I have , they don't like to step out of their comfort zone . The lounge does n't talk about software problems or whats a good book or movie here in the lounge , they post in the section that supports it .


Sorry for droning on but just my thoughts . :dabs:

[manker]

Drone on as much as you like, Peat. Absolutely no problem at all - you're completely wrong, tho' :lol:

Most folk who mainly post in the lounge hardly ever post other stuff in the relevant sections 'cos they want to talk about their software problem/the movie they watched/defective HD with people that they usually talk to.

Which reminds me, I need an excellent wireless mouse and keyboard. I don't care if it's expensive, I just want it to work properly.
I'm going to use my PC as the main media centre for my living room, plug it into the telly, like. So I'll need them in lieu of a remote control.

Any recommendations?

Does your older cheaper version work from across the other side of the room, like - also have you dropped it and found that it still wurks?

mine aren't bluetooth, like, so they don't work properly from the other side of the room (this room is huge tho'). They wurk fine upto about 10-15ft away, like.

A bluetooth one should work fine from pretty much anywhere in your house tho' cause the range is loiyke 20 metres or something else.

I'd download Movix .83 and add the dss library .rpm file so Movix can read unencrypted dvd's(u need winiso to change the .iso).

Then once you burn the .iso boot from cd and use the install.pl script to put movix on your harddrive. You can navigate your media quite easily, with no mouse. So you only need a wireless keyboard, unless you just prefer to have a mouse.

If you're computer supports booting from usb, you can do that(boot movix from usb) and save yourself the hassle of making the fat16 partition for Movix. It works just as well as booting from cd, when you want to boot windows just remove the usb jump drive and voila!

My set-up works fine now as it is, wrt watching suff direct off the PC via the telly. I just gotta keep going back and forth the PC to change what I'm watching.

Oh yeah, I've also got to sort it so that my PC has the telly and the monitor running off it so I don't have to keep switching the blue cable twixt the two. Might need a bit of hardware, like, as from memory, I think I've only got one blue port at the back of my computer.

if it's just for changing fillums and stuff, ewe could get a bluetooth remote control thing. My brother bought one off ebay and it uses loiyke gyroscopic tilt sensor things in it to detect movement and that moves the cursor. Ewe could use it instead of a mouse or do something else.

That all depends on what other outputs your pc has and what inputs your tellybox has. Loiyke I've got my lcd tellybox (55":smilie4:) connected thro' hdmi and my monitor connected thro' vga (the blue port) and another telly (old style standard def one) connected thro' s-video.

It's a rear projection lcd (which makes it about 14" deep) so it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the wall mountable ones even tho' it's better picture quality.

Just curious, like. People (clients) always ask me how much stuff costs, they'll phone me up to find out how much a certain car costs, for example. I hardly ever never know so usually put them on hold to look at autotrader.

Now if a pub landlord asks how much a 70" telly costs, I'll tell him that a rear projected lcd could well be as cheap as 1200 of he's willing to nerd around on avforums.
Then I'll send him an invoice.

They must know that's to discuss their plans tho' and how it may impact on their tax position and stuff. Rather than seeking your advice on what TV to buy.

I suppose it depends on stuff.

Obviously they'd know it has to do with their tax management but I suppose they don't see the harm in asking if I think what they plan to buy is a good deal or if I know of a better one.

Now I'm thinking about it, I could set up a life consultancy facility and offer people unlimited advice on stuff for a fixed fee. And then post their questions here.
