Gig Pic

11 April 2011 Timberlake Jr. High in Spirit Lake Idaho.

This picture was taken from a failed attempt at a time lapse. Failed because I tripped a breaker and we lost all power. I hat that they wire nearly an entire gym with only one circuit.

Big Rump

I've finally got around to writing about Big Rump in detail.

I've decided to go a remote mixing route. Meaning I control a mixer from somewhere in the house over the wireless network. Big Rump was made to facilitate this task.

It's really nothing more than a button panel laid out in a way that resembles the on screen mixer. I made it by gutting a normal usb keyboard and wiring the contacts to all the buttons. I especially like the arcade machine buttons I used for up down and mute control.

Using the software that I used from the wii mixer idea, I wrote a script that interprets the button presses and performs an action on screen. When used with a mouse I'm almost faster than if I had the actual mixer in front of me. It's a continual work in progress but I'm at a point where I get reliable control with out running any power or snake out to where I'm sitting. I'll post some pictures of the actual remote station soon.

I don't know why but I felt compelled to take a picture of this.

The Answer


Once again I've been handed the Answer.

This seems to be happening to me more and more often. 42 is having a weird reoccurring role in my life.
