Yesterday when I was out in the morning. I came across this TV repair shop in my town. Next to there dumpster they have all kinds of junk out for the garbage. Mostly old rear projection TV’s. Well in one of them the FS mirror was still there. Oh yeah 100 dollar mirror sitting there waiting for me to take it home. Guess what I did take it home. So now I have everything I need. That was my last part to get. I have been using a mirror I bought from Lowes ( a hardware store in the US) Now I can return that one and use the one I got from the dumpster. So now I will have a better image and no screen door effect. Awesome that made my day yesterday. It’s always nice to find money laying on the ground and in this case it was like finding money. I was going to ask them if they had mirrors that I could have but decided to wait and see if they threw one out first. You know if I asked they would want to charge me money. At lest thats what I thought and before I did spend more money I gave this a try. It paid off

I was wondering if any of my readers has come across a new bad ass site that I might not know about. Maybe you built a kick ass site. I wouldn’t mind checking them out. Also if you want me to place a link on my blog roll. Just ask and send a link for me to look at. If it has to do with multi touch it will find a place on my blog. So if you want drop me a link.

I had a problem w/ my new projector. One day after having the thing upside down and pointing straight up. It started to act crazy. The colors that were projected were flickering and dim. I tryed just about everything. Shutting down the projector trying different setting everything. Then I called Dell what a pain in the ass. I had no service tag. So bottom line no help. Wast of 2 hours. Next I tryed the forums. So I Google the projector w/ the problems I had and started seeing that alot of people were having the same problem as me. So after reading the horror story’s of people w/ a service tag talking to Dell and Dell telling them all to buy a new lamp at $349.00. and it still didn’t work for them. (that sucks) I found a few post about opening up the projector and air spraying the dust out. So I went and bought a can of compressed air at $8.00. Opened up the projector and sprayed out the system. I have to tell you I saw no dust what so ever, but still I sprayed. I put it back together and it worked like new. No more flickering or dim colors. Saved a ton of money too. So basicly all I’m saying is that you should Google your problem before you get rid of your stuff. I was ready to give up on a projector that I paid $500.00 for.

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog. I ‘m creating this blog for recording my progress on MT. So far I have a DI set up. It has a 36 inch screen across. It is about 2 1/2 ft off the ground. I used MDF board at 1/4 inch. I have a Dell 3400MP projector and I’m getting a fire i board cam. I have 100 IR LEDs at 940nm. I still have to wire them up into 4 sets of 25 in 5 LED arrays. This is powered by a 12v dc wallwart. If all goes well I will have some photos up soon. Stay tuned.
