Re: Help me get even

Dig a small deep-ish hole and either bolt them to some post or embed them in some concrete. But depending on how immature your thieves are, they may just vandalize them if they can't take them.

Indeed. Class 4 lasers can damage eyesight even if you are in the same room. Sunglasses won't cut it.

Re: Yet another site test ;)

Images for text! I thought the rules of design said that's one of the top don'ts. Anyhow, it looks okay in Lynx.

Re: Duct Tape Hats...

I've made a few fedoras, bowlers, and a top hat. Any would be a good choice. I kinda want to make a tri-corner hat.

Re: Board game thread

And The Settlers of Catan will rule them all. Although Empire Builder is fun too.

Yeah, quality products are growing hard to find, for anything, not just board games. Face it the, US is a consumerism & throw-away based nation. No wonder we're in so much trouble.

Re: SNES controller + keyboard + flash drive + USB hub = this!

I built this as a controller for playing emulated games. At school I would spend a lot of time in the dungeon (the name for the computer lab in the basement). The flash drive allowed me room for emulators, ROMs, and saves as students can not install anything on the machines. Essentially it was a ...

Re: SNES controller + keyboard + flash drive + USB hub = this!

All I used is the plastic from the original buttons. I used new tactile switches on my own circuit boards. So, my controller has none of the original electronics. It's only a USB device. If you go for that SNES-to-USB board you showed, it looks like you solder that board to the same place the SNES ...

Re: Typing Dvorak

I could touch type with QWERTY and switched to Dvorak. I think it's worth it since I'm faster than I ever was in QWERTY. Expect to loose some of your speed when you start. If you frequently switch between Dvorak and QWERTY on different computers you can train yourself to use Dvorak on yours and ...

Re: SNES controller + keyboard + flash drive + USB hub = this!

Well yeah. Obviously check that it works before gluing. I did use a lot of glue (about 2 1/2 short sticks). I mainly used it to make sure the boards holding the switches don't come undone under heavy use. But I had to be careful that no glue got on the buttons. That would have been a pain to fix if ...

Re: SNES controller + keyboard + flash drive + USB hub = this!

It wasn't too bad, but fitting some of the stuff was a bit hard. There wasn't too much soldering needed. The hardest part was tracing my keyboard to figure out how to wire the tactile switches. Due to the resistance of the traces on the plastic I had to follow the traces a couple inches at a time ...

Re: SNES controller + keyboard + flash drive + USB hub = this!

Thanks. I was actually surprised I was able to fit everything once I fit the buttons in. It wouldn't be too hard if you were to just use a keyboard inside. I made this with the flash drive so I could store emulators and ROMs right on it. More convenient that way being able to use any computer with ...
