From last night there are pics and more pics. Jeff needs a bigger memory stick for his camera though... :) I love Saturdays - nothing to do but just sit around. Slightly annoying there's still finals next week, and next Saturday I actually have to go do something, but after that Saturdays should be even more enjoyable... I actually did go do something today. I needed a way to switch component/HD RGB video signals, and realised since most stuff has HD-15 connectors anyways, I can probably use this old KVM which I got for free from work a few years back when the mouse ports stopped working. The only problem was I didn't have a power supply for it. So off to RadioShack and I discovered they have a cool adaptor that's the same as a wall wart, but the thing is miniaturized and practically the size of a standard plug. 1300mA too, so no problem powering the KVM. Of course now I realised that I need a F/F HD-15 connector to finish hooking it up, and I'll still need to override the keyboard sense (probably easy) and get it switching by computer/IR control (slightly harder), but oh well - that should be fun. Topped off the day by watching Spider-Man (yes, the dash is part of the official title). Seems like other people had some rather unpleasant Computer Systems project to work on though. Makes me glad our Networking project was already due - one can't do anything once it's turned in except worry, and worrying about things one can't do anything about is totally pointless, thus the excellent day not caring about anything. Now if only I could do something about the humidity in here... :(
