Probably wont be for awhile, maybe a couple of months. I have to get my car painted before winter so I have to put the XM module on the back burner for a bit.

Looks like it easier than I thought to set up those key combinations. Here is how it works now:

num lock & enter = logout
num lock & + = reboot
num lock & - = exit program
num lock & * = hibernate
num lock & / = stand by

I probably should have checked to see if the shuttle will do key combinations.
Im taking a road trip this weekend and I will be shaking out the next release.

yeah the shuttle can do combinations. i think it can use numlock but not sure.

what about using shift or alt or ctrl? with other keys?

Ive been cleaning up the interface this last week. I fixed many little annoying bugs like the vertical scroll bars, and the blinking progress bars are all fixed now. I have also made a breakthrough in the emulator. It is now a single form, that has a directory list that shows all NES, SNES, N64, & GBA roms. When you click on the rom the program opens it in the coinciding emulator. Single interface, basically all Emulators in one. Its really clean and 100% touch screen friendly. I am just running through some minor little bugs before releasing it, either Friday or Tuesday.

Holy ***** dude, this is already my favourite front end but way to raise the bar!

I was playing around with ctrl + s = stand by, and ctrl + h = hibernate, etc. but I figured that using nothing but the number keys would enable users to be able to buy an external number keypad as a cheep alternative, to other expensive hardware.

right i see

what about allowing changing of the shortkeys in the config file?

that way i could use whatever i like ad people with other controls methods (number pad only, etc..) can do the same

i don't know how easy or difficult this will be to integrate

Dear god! Does this man ever sleep? Better yet...a personal life... I will say this. I really really like this frontend the best. Reddeath! Man..the outlook calendar indegration...is bad as hell! see...i sync my phone with it. Im getting ready to get sprint pcs. I will be updating my outlook from my house through the internet. I will say this. I could care less what anyone says, This front end by far is the best one. Slow steady work is better than fast sloppy work. I take my hat off to you. You need to setup a donation thing for paypal man. I would gladly donate to you work. Also, do you still want that compass software I told you about for the GPS? I have the source code for it also. One bad thing...... C++. But its a LIVE COMPASS. You go n,s,w,e it shows which direction your going with the speed your going. LONG and LAT too. and the best thing of all...ITS SKINNABLE. Let me know.

The Compass sounds really good. How does it compare with the compasses in the GPS programs? I would like to check it out. Thank you for your glowing compliments! Its users like yourself that make developing this stuff so fun! I didnt know you could sync your phone with Outlook. I know that my Palm does, I guess it would make sense that a phone could too. Let me know how it works out for you as I dont have the ability to test with your configuration. Thanks.
