Digital picture frame startup

[novachevyguy]

why so much crap running in and stuff on desktop if it's a picture frame?

[ChodTheWacko]

@novachevyguy It's just a fresh 98 install plus cpuidle ( i pulled out most of the fans, so I'm worried about overheating), and acdsee. I could uninstall some of the default windows apps I guess, but I don't think it'll make much difference.

If your laptop has a wireless network card, you can run a program called Synergy on startup and share the keyboard and mouse of any computer with your frame. Doesn't help with the bios, but if you ever needed it after boot, it would be there.

[novachevyguy]

@cyborggold uh synergy dosen't work in win 98

[cyborggold]

@novachevyguy I only mentioned it because with a simple OS upgrade or for other people doing a similar project... it would help.

[noxabellus]

OH but besides that, great little project man

[noxabellus]

In theory.

[noxabellus]

In theory, you may want to not say in theory so much. In theory, it might be becoming a verbal crutch, like "uh" or "um."

[jorgespina]

You don't even need a mouse! you can put a shortcut to the application in the Start->Programs->Startup and that's it...it'll start up automatically

[ChodTheWacko]

@jorgespina That's a good idea - I hadn't thought of that. One hesitation is that it takes FOREVER to start the slideshow, since I have tons of pictures on it, and it's a slow laptop. Sometimes I just want to start it up, and move some pictures onto it from the USB stick.

I just noticed that at 0:24 the guy picks his nose in the reflection lol.

[Kulawendin]

In theory this video is retarded.

Can u uload the making of the frame??

[ChodTheWacko]

@jeremoviesinc There's not much to it, really. It's fairly ghetto. The hardest part was taking apart the laptop and figuring out exactly how much I could strip out and still have a functional machine. Then you find a big enough frame, and find a way to fit it in.

[jaylc005]

your lcd frame is showing.. gay

[qin02]

u need to integrate an embedded system to ur lcd.

that will be much better

[stupidsoft111]

so the pic. frame is actually a computer that runs '98???

[ChodTheWacko]

yeah, it's a dissected old gateway laptop

[adrianx26]

man.... get from the theory to real life...

YOu use a pc to a photo frame

[sharpypilfong]

no if you were listening, he told you "you shouldn't need a keyboard" it means that those frames actually have windows on them

[babolimp]

wait a minute, so you're using a laptop screen for that? you made that shit yourself??
