A delima you people can problly help me with!

Post by Dr. KillGood »

Ok, so I moved new house and all bigger better.
But my dad deicded to put the computer in the room downstais and it has 2 doors. One easily accesabol and the other a lot more walking to get to.

My problem is the one thats hard to get to has the light switch by it...

Let me draw a pic...

I could just walk over to it and flip it but it is dark and theres all sorts of stuff on the flore. I would trip and hurt myslef (actully I DID trip and hurt myself trying this)

Ok yeah anyways!

What can I do to make it so I can flip that switch and turn the light on frome the other side of the room without having to add another switch?

PS:What the heck is a "NOAC"?

1: Ask your dad to install a light switch near the other door, or put some night lights in there so you can see your way to the other switch. Or walk around further. Excercise is good for you. :)

2. Search. (it's a Nintendo On a Chip, essentially all the NES hardware condensed to a single chip.)

Make a long metal rod to flip the switch from where ever you are like Ben did in Port Washington to grab Ryan's wallet. :P Or organize stuff on the floor so you can walk through it easily. OR, move the computer somewhere else.

NOAC is a Nintendo Entertainment System On A Chip. Use search for that.

EDIT: Someone always beats me... :lol: :roll:

Duct tape a long pole to the light switch,and leave the other end of the pole on a nail next to the other door. 8) When you come in,move the pole and turn on the lights. 8)

why not put a lamp on the side that you come in. Turn the lamp on so you can see your way to the other side and then turn on the main light. simple and cheap. You can get a lamp for pretty much $5.

Put some glow in the dark paint/tape around the light switch. The only there thing is as iam7808 mentioned, make a path and use that.

Get one of those automatic light switchers that fit over the light switch and turn it on and off when you clap twice.
