unzip Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didanix Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Did anyone ever get this to work? I tried contacting the developer, but atleast he's not answering to his email. Vista simply gives me a Just-In-Time debugging error message, and it doesn't seem to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
