OpenElec & Remote Control Setup

Updated 20/05/2013: Openelec keymaps have moved from /Userdata/keymaps.xml to /Userdata/keymap/keyboard.xml Ok, so thought it would be worth noting this down for others as well. I use a One For All Smart Control  to control my TV, Xbox 360, Surround System and SkyHD box. I figured that it would be a natural extension to include the new ER1401 system into this mix. Note: For those coming straight to this article, this is my system running OpenElec i.e. XBMC, i've written articles before on how you can build one of these systems if you can get the hardware. So, thankfully after a rummage through my "man cupboard" I found a old Microsoft Media Center remote and IR receiver which by luck works out of the box with OpenElec. So I configured my One For All remote control to send Media Center remote control signals and bush bash bosh, I had control of my OpenElec system.

WOL (Wake on Lan) - eMachine ER1401

Image
Ok, so after the massive success of getting OpenElec up and running with little to no problems I faced what initially seemed like a big problem, but as always once you have a solution, it seems trivial. Within the XBMC Constellation application there is a button on the connection menu to send a WOL (Wake on Lan) or "Magic Packet" to turn on the device which it is controlling XBMC on. Clicking this buttons straight away did nothing except change the label in the menu within XBMC to "Package...". Not informative at all.

Photography: Nikon D5000 - The new hotness

Image
After years of faithful service to me, my old and now gone FujiFilm s6500fd has been replaced with the new hotness, the Nikon D5000: http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25452/D5000.html I opted for this camera because i’m not quite ready for the full on experience of the mid-range SLR’s and also because after reading endless amounts of reviews from people who actually know what there talking about it seemed good value for the money they were asking for. Being quite new to taking photography serious, it seemed sensible to opt for this. The alternatives to this camera in the same range were of course the Canon Rebel T1i(500D) and the Olympus E-620, which even though have larger sensor sizes, around 15MP compared to the D5000’s 12MP, the actual quality of photo’s i’m told look better.... go figure! http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_500D_Digital_Rebel_T1i/verdict.shtml What’s my experience been with it so far? Well i’ve had the camera now for wel...
