    The afternoon projects thread

    I modded my pro controller to have tacts for the shoulder and trigger buttons. I've had a Switch for a while now and I've been using the pro controller almost exclusively to play games. The R shoulder button started needing a lot more force in order for it to register, and sometimes if I held...

    The afternoon projects thread

    IKEA's cool. I got two cabinets, a birch countertop, and some non-slip mat and made a workbench for my apartment (about time, too). It's eventually gonna have a bunch of incomplete projects all over it, as well as various scorch marks, solder drips, hot glue globs, etc, etc. But right now it...

    I start driving to work at Oculus tomorrow.

    Oh yeah, I forgot you were gonna come work here! I don't think Palmer told me it was finalized. Or maybe he did, I'm awful at remembering stuff. The 3D printers are mine. Hands off. :U

    Windows 8

    I always set up keyboard shortcuts for programs I use constantly. Windows has natively supported this since at least XP; you just have to go into the shortcut properties and set a Ctrl+Alt+x shortcut. I have Firefox, my documents folder, Photoshop, Illustrator, Steam, Skype, Minecraft, my 3D...

    Windows 8

    I've found it basically unusable for anybody who's used a Windows computer before. However, it does have a lot of optimizations that make it faster and lighter. I stick with Windows 7.

    Of course not. That all went towards my and Palmer's dolphin harem.

    3D printers woooo I have a newly-acquired Replicator 2X (paid for by Oculus - no way in heck I'd ever pay $3k for this thing) and a Printrbot Plus that I've had for much longer. The Printrbot definitely takes some tweaking to get really nice prints, but it's a very good machine. I'd recommend...

    Oculus Rift USB power mod

    Mm-hmm, the only reason we didn't do it is because it's technically over USB spec. Most computers will be able to source the current just fine, though.

    The afternoon projects thread

    I have a 3D printer at work that's essentially mine at this point. I made a pen holder for it and used Pycam and some gcode editing to make the paths for the printer. Older pen holder: New pen holder that can swivel, so it allows for drawing on curved surfaces. Say, perhaps, the faceplate...

    The thread of music, be it modded, retro, or normal.

    Vinyl sounds "warm". Also why tube amps are fairly popular.

    What should I do with a broken vcr?

    It's fancier and much more reliable. :)

    Just spent the weekend with Palmer and Oculus, AMA

    Yep, there's even photo evidence of that one... somewhere. I can't find it. Also, what the heck, nobody told me there was any hot-tubbin' going on.

    What should I do with a broken vcr?

    Imagine this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Spinner ... -VCR-Head/ But much more cheaply and easily done - I glued the scroll wheel mechanism to the bottom spindle instead of making an encoder.

    What should I do with a broken vcr?

    I took the VCR read head out of one and rigged a ghetto scroll wheel. I basically glued a mouse scroll wheel to the bottom of the spindle and put it in a small case, but it's really sweet and useful.

    I have an interview at Oculus Feb 2nd

    Ey, you remembered the gestation period of dolphins! Question is, did you remember because I told you many times, or do you have a secret you want to tell me? Hmm...
