Hey, There's Scullen

I totally fulfilled my geek quotient for the day by installing classic infocom text adventures and an interpreter on my cell phone and playing the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy game on my train ride into work this morning. Kronos seems to do a nice job of presenting the game.

I’d like to find more uses for the infrared feature on the Treo. Is there software anywhere that gives you the same functionality as those key chain fobs that’ll turn off any TV?

I’d also like to build something that could trigger el-cheapo digicams at a distance – this would be good for a kite rig. Maybe the range isn’t good enough for this. I’ve read that they’re underpowered.
