Entertain the Cat

 

It’s pretty cool to see what people can do (or dream of doing) with the things you’ve built.  I’ve been trolling the Live Mesh forums on and off, and so far, my absolute favourite thread has been one entitled "Entertain the cat" (reproduced here).

very cool we can have 2 remote connections going at the same time!

My mesh has 3 PCs – while at work I have found great fun watching my cat race from room to room via webcam while I switch between desktops to play a cat meow wave file.  Great way to check in on the house to see how he spends his day.

I love the mesh!

Now get some of the USB Nurf missile launchers and really drive that cat nuts (and/or the wife).  I have to get a pc and cam in the family room now.

I especially love how Bleak Morn‘s post is the Proposed Answer.

Hello, World!

Mike Zintel’s got an excellent post on the history of the computing world, entitled "Why Sync?"  It’s an engaging read.  I’m struggling to properly excerpt.  Go read the whole thing.

yang on yahoo!

I’ve never followed Yahoo! much, though I just read Jerry Yang’s memo to Yahoo! staff.  Apparently he’s never heard of the ‘Shift’ key.  Does anybody else feel that it’s incredibly hard to read?  It turns out this is old news, but I just noticed.  Yuck!  At least Ballmer can write intelligibly, even if he does prance around on stage like a monkey.
