The Quest for the Ultimate Remote Control
Dec. 31st, 2004 01:56 amSince I got my speakers in the kitchen, some evil plans have been brewing in my sick little head...
Does anyone knows of an RF (radio frequency) remote control that could be hooked up to my computer? It would need about 10 meters of range around the receiver. It wouldn't need to be super-fancy, but I just have this dream of being in my bed and being able to control the volume or pause the music.
For the moment, my situation is rather low-fidelity, with a pair of 50$CDN speakers hooked up to an extension cord, but I have some plans of getting a decent sound system, hook it up to my computer and try to figure out a neat way of integrating the lot together as nicely as possible. Combined with some plans of re-ripping my CD collection with an even better Ogg Vorbis and at a higher quality setting, it should be pretty damn awesome.
So if I can find a really cool remote control that would work around the house, that would just totally rock.
