Some months ago I saw for the first time an episode of Hak.5 and loved the way Darren, Wess and the others used technology to make life easier. So I decided to do my own little project, trusted my technolust and gave my project a name : 'Interactive Dorm'. Okay, so what is interactive dorm ? To make a long story very short : because I move to a new flat, I would like to develop and use some home automation software/technology on day-to-day base. The first thing I "developed" was a small project I borrowed from Hak.5 (season1), modified to my needs : a daily newspaper based on RSS and Atom feeds. Because I really enjoyed the idea of actually using my own software, I recently developed "Speech Jukebox for Winamp". "Speech Jukebox for Winamp" is an add-on for Winamp which extends it with a complete voice interface. This software makes it possible to request a song, simply by saying a part of the name of an artist, the title or both. Because this software really worked well, I extended it with support for Youtube and Seeqpod. This way, you can watch Youtube videos of your music and play/download music you don't even have on your HD. I made this software because I think it will be very useful in combination with my Home Theatre PC in my new flat. Here you can watch a video of the functionality and features of Speech Jukebox : http://avthasselt.sohosted.com/interactive...jukebox_0.4.wmv At www.interactivedorm.tk you can find more information about my little project. Why do I post this here ? I hope to encourage others to do the same (spreading the word like Hak.5 does), develop some useful stuff and share it with the world ;-) (don't mind my English... I'm from Belgium, just like Dr. Evil)

hehe no problem, thanks ;-) I posted this in the "suggestions"-forum, so this topic can be deleted unless somebody has some ideas to make such a thing :-) btw I doesn't has to be WIFI-connected, the wiring to the lights can also be done like the lights in episode 1×01. :-)

Euhm I don't get it why this smells like spam ? It's just a suggestion...

Hi, First of all, I'm new here and a really like watching Hak5! Anyway I didn't see all the episodes of hak5 yet, but I thought it would be great if you could do an episode on making a cheap version of 'Nabaztag' (http://www.nabaztag.com/en/index.html). I really like the concept of a physical object which can warn you when an event happens on your computer (like the Nabaztag bunny does). Greetz, Unzip - don't mind my bad english :-) - I don't know for sure if this is the right forum to post this topic... edit : I found the suggestion-forum, so this topic can be deleted !
