Q: How do I set the remote control address on a Media Center IR Keyboard (Kirk)

A:

  • Press OK+MORE (LED flashes at 1Hz)
  • Press a number key from 1 to 8(LED flashes twice to confirm success)
  • Turn off keyboard power (wait 10 seconds or press any key to discharge the capacitors quickly)
  • Turn on keyboard.

eHome 2005 Holiday Party

Last Thursday was the eHome Holiday party. Here's a few of us leaving, left to right:

Mark's date
Tom, program manager
Mark, designer
Nishant, tester
Katrina, writer
Veronica, program manager
Ryan, developer

The night was actually a lot of fun. We started with a pre-funk at the Chapel and after a drink headed down to the Science Fiction Museum for the official festivities. While we were stymied by only two free drinks, the DJ this year was much better than last year's 80's cover band. After gossiping with co-workers for three hours a substantial number of us headed off to Neighbors were we partied into the fee hours of the morning. I think the last of us trickled out of Neighbors at 3am. The next day we all took advantage of the 'free' morning off we got and some didn't even make it in at all (I made it in). Next year we'll all have to remember to read MSN Careers, Office Party Etiquette before heading out.
