Hello everybody!
OK it’s been a long long long loooong time that I haven’t posted anything. Big things are changing for me. First is that I am changing job. I am really psyched about that. I am so psyched that I have been going back to my little SNDK project! Remember how it wasn’t working on linux and I couldn’t understand why. Well people, it is FIXED! Thanks to a little help from G. and his Neptune guidance, I was able to find the source of my problems (and there were quite a few). Anyway, I think I have spent enough time on this for this week. My next step is to completely start from scratch and use G.’s Neptune library but that will take a while. Anyhow, look at this beautiful screenshot of my UPnP light device running on linux and being discovered by the Intel UPnP Device Spy on my XP box ;-)
For you kim, here it is, your favorite commercial song.
I found the song from the touareg commercial !

Today, after our weekly trip to Lowes, we decided to go to Sears ’cause I needed some stuff for the car. Anyway, we didn’t plan it but we’ve been looking for a loooooooooong time for a better vacuum cleaner. Well let me tell you, we found the ultimate sucking machine. After a demonstration from the salesman, this was clearly something to try at home. We tried to buy a broken one on ebay once but backed out and this time, I was not going to leave without it. And let me tell you, this is the shit! It works at advertised, it’s not some sort of advertisement bullshit. It litterally creates a small tornado (146 mph according to the salesman) inside the machine to keep the dust and hair moving to prevent clugging that makes a normal vacuum lose suction. Anyway, for you pet owners, this is the ultimate invention that the 21rst century has ever produced so far..well besides the prius.
I think Lucie likes it ;-).

Today after our weekly trip to Home Depot, we went to measure the outside of the house. A few hours later, the floor plan is updated. I was not that far off.
