Whenever I click a tiny url I cringe a little because I always expect a rick roll.

Why do you need a TinyURL on a forum? That's just rude. There's just no reason for it, given the huge post size allowed.

Just go to tinyurl.com and use their preview feature.

http://tinyurl.com/preview.php

It spits out a page with the URL (like <a href="http://tinyurl.com/preview.php?num=3xg7zj">this</a> or <a href="http://tinyurl.com/preview.php?num=37ws8e">this</a>) instead of redirecting you straight to the target page.

As for the Wiimote hack, why? I think the audio is grating and horrible, and the 'dance' reminded me of stuck-up 'artistic' interpretive dance. Blech.

...I haven't clicked the link yet, but I'm guessing it's a GlovePIE script used to manipulate some simple variables, or something similar. Such a thing is not a hack, as nothing has been modified. The WiiMote is a simple bluetooth HID device that pairs with any bluetooth-enabled computer. It's not rocket science guys; this is something most of us could whip up in about ten minutes. It's cool, but it's neither new nor a hack.

Its not so easy to just pair the device and it works

The wiimote doesn't pair with a lot of bluetooth devices on the PC and one some that it does not all punctions work there are specific adapters you really need to get (there is a wiki of all of them)

And i would say this is a hack as it hacks the wiimote to work in a nontraditional way a hack doesn't always mean taking crap apart lol

Glovepie is one awsome program. Best way to edit miis online, or to use wiimote, or classic controler for emulating.

I really like GlovePIE. Allows the wiimote and nunchuk to be put to good use

Silly me, I expected it to at some point start being music, and stop being pointless noise.

I used to have a little casio keyboard that I could set to "alien noise" mode, and make sounds just like that.

Am I a musician now?

Am I the only one reminded of this?
