Led Display Plans
Posted on May 29, 2008 - Filed Under News
I’ve come up with a list of things that need to be done to the led display… here is what I’ve got planned:
- Move the LED display to a Linux box, as its currently running under Windows.
Utilize the New IP camera full-time rather than the webcam.Done!- Add some more RSS feeds and make them more visible somehow.
- Increase the FPS, either by reducing the resolution of the image, or…? perhaps using a flash applet.
- Have an online console for viewing messages and images in the queue.
- Neaten the code so it can be open sourced.
- Mount the camera and the LED display in a better position.
- Look into getting a larger display
Current system diagram: 
A bit overkill, only 2 computers would need to be used at the most simple end, one for the web/mysql/ftp server, the other to control the display and control the webcam/IP camera.
Any other suggestions? Please post a comment
LED Message Display
Posted on May 9, 2008 - Filed Under News
I recently acquired an LED Message Display board and wrote some software to allow sending of messages to it. I decided it may be fun to connect it to the web and add a webcam feed as well, so people can view messages they add…
Here are a few random messages that have been added by random people:
You can add you message to be displayed on the sign by clicking the above image, and read the FAQ here if you’re interested.

Meat House Popularity & Recipe
Posted on January 18, 2008 - Filed Under News
It seems our creation of the “Meat House” has spread around the internet quite a way, appearing on various forums and blogs.
Original Photos can be found here:
Steps Involved:
Starting to lay the walls on a bed of breadcrumbs
Building up the walls more
We decided kebab sticks would be a good addition to hold it together during the cooking
Creation of the lawn, (750g of sausage meat, seasoned with sage, and a load of food colouring)
Laying down the lawn, and starting the roof
Adding the roof, streaky bacon of course
A few more additions, some seasoning, a paprika car and a bird bath
Oven time!
100 minute later
Kebab stick removal, now everything inside is totally edible
And that’s it, meat house complete
Ingredients:
~20 sausages
12 rashers of bacon
1kg of sausage meat
2/3 a packet of bread crumbs
