I snapped this picture at the train station at Stansted. One of the worst cases of burn-in I have ever seen. Click the picture for a closer look. This is why a Plasma screen is totally out of the question for my HTPC!
I wonder what the sales persons told the people at the train station when they sold these screens?
“We have these new fantastic flat screens for your train tables. They are only £ 10 000,- a piece and will last for at least two years.”
It is interesting to see that people that I admire and respect find my trendmapper experiment interesting. In addition to John Battelle, Seth Godin also mention my experiment with some insightful toughts.
I am sorry for the fact that the search systems will not be kicked back on before sunday, but it will be interesting to keep working on this and make it more user friendly as the list of words grow.
Last year I was travelling in the US all of january, and needed a dial up connection to the internet. I was not ready to buy a plan at a local host that needed subscription or a monthly fee. I just wanted a host that covered all of the US with local numbers and the ability to pay for an amount of time without registering with an american adress etc..
I ended up using BudgetDialup. And, because I do not bother to scan through all the different companies again, I post it here. Mostly as a reference for myself. For anyone else looking for a easy way to get access to the internet through a dialup connection while in the US, I can recommend Budget. They worked fine and acceptet my norwegian credit card.

I have not found a suitable front cover, so it still looks like I have set it up with Meedio to give me music, weather, news, web radio, Skype IP-phone and X10-control from our kitchen.

The telephone on top of the machine is connected to a PhoneConnector USB-device and works quite well directly through Skype.
I will come back with more info on details about the setup. Both about the software and the silent cooling of the kiosk-PC inside the home made cabinet on the wall.

Open a command line window and give the following command:
“telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl”
Voila! StarWars… …in ASCII…
So, where is that Meedio plugin for telnet video streaming? With really big fonts in your telnet application you can get the stream in high definition!

Starwars via Telnet
