Title: At Home with LinuxMCE: Photos
Post by: tschak909 on July 26, 2013, 09:37:06 PM
Hello everyone,

Starting a new thread for pictures from users, showing living at home with a LinuxMCE installation, have fun! :)

I'll start with my latest pics, playing Tetris in the Living Room.

My setup is getting quite extensive now (or "spiraling out of control" as SWMBO would put it), so I want to get some pictures up soon..... but not until I've decorated.

Cheers,
Matt.

Nice! Reminds me... I need to set up some gaming on my system! I have a huge number of MAME ROMs that need to be put to good use.

It's funny, my setup is so clean (much is integrated into furniture/finishes) that there's not much to take pictures of.

Video on the other hand would be a more telling story, so maybe I'll take a stab at some of those.

Yeah, my photos and videos these days are trying to highlight a clean aesthetic, as much as I can. Now that I have a decent house for the first time in a _very_ long time, I am trying to make the most of it.

Thom,

Just wait... 6 months from now, that clean aesthetic will have disappeared under toys, stuffies, activity centers, and other kid stuff.  And then the arts and crafts phases will come in a few years...   ;)

Here are some glamour shots of a Joggler that I have running right next to me on my desk, in my office in the den.

The clock you see above is being generated by orbiter. I've added a clock to the screen saver portions of the Horizontal 4:3 variation (UI1). If you have an Orbiter binary running on a native device (Nokia 770/N800/N900, WebDT, Joggler, something you've put Orbiter onto explicitly, NOT a Proxy Orbiter device!), then you can do the following:

* Update your Designer repo in web admin (advanced > sqlcvs > update)
* Get the attached font, and copy to its font directory (on linux, copy to /usr/share/fonts/truetype, and then run fc-cache... for windows, click to install the font.)
* do a Full Regen of the orbiter you just modified.
* When it comes back up, it will have the clock.

Enjoy :)

Hi Thom,
I tried updating my webdt to get this clock, but no joy.
- did an sqlCVS update
- copied the font onto the webdt as instructed and ran fc-cache.
- did a full regen of the orbiter and a router reload, just incase

waited for screen to blank - and no clock :(
have I missed something?

thanks
-Coley.

I haven't had my core on-line in quite awhile.  I apologize for hitting such an old post.

After a sqlcvs update and 10.04 update/upgrade, one WebDT has the clock and one doesn't.  The orbiter that does however renders the far right digit off-screen.  I reviewed your instructions and I believe the problem was in:

"Get the attached font..."

I don't follow this, was there a font attached to this post?

Yes, look at that specific post, there is a font called HelveticaNeue-UltraLight.ttf.

For those that don't know, this is the desk of Langston Ball, the guy working on the next generation Orbiter engine (qOrbiter).

A few photos I have taken over the years with LMCE.  Some are pretty and clean as I like them now, others like my wall are... hopefully identifiable to others who ever struggled to grasp LMCE.

Aquarium for my axolotls (shown as Axolotls, a room, on orbiters) z-wave lighting for dawn/dust and midday light changes.  Z-wave on/off device runs the rain-head pump as a scene button under climate called "Rain"

One of the custom orbiter skins I made.  No true designer work but learned how to replace 260X260 icon graphics.

This was taken when I lived with another LMCE bachelor.  Chalkboard wall!!!
