Yep thats how I tend to get shifted from one project to another. Weather was
too bad to work on one so I started another. Needed to do something before I
could continue that, so I moved to another. Just keep going in an endless
circle sometimes! :) My Vivance doesn't seem to be keepign up with me! :)

I've tried that. Sad thing is I can't read my own handwriting! Pharmacist
told me my writing was worse than any doctors she's ever read! :) I do like
spreadsheets so I try to keep a spreadsheet of stuff to do in google docs. I
just tend to get sidetracked with trying to tweak the sheet formulas and such
then! :)

Thats awesome I hope ou are able to get that to work! I was looking at the
MagiQuest wands a bit. It looks like they operate at 36 or 38 KHz. Found some
stuff on openschemes.com that looks promising. Seem to be other folks who
have tinkered around with it in the past (I'm always a day late to the
party). I just need to find a good IR receiver that works at those
frequencies and with the Pi.
