Re: [misterhouse-users] Web speaking via remote wav files

[Ron K. <ro...@za...>]

Hi Bruce,

I was just writing an email with those Audrey http adjustments,
no need anymore...

Couldn't download the http code (due to port 80 still closed?)
Did you also updated the cvs code?

This weekend I'll try to get NAS compiled on QNX, so
you can address the Audrey speakers over the network,
and let MH speak to it.
(This way I don't have to install speakers around the house ;)

When this works, maybe a 'speaker-switch type of code' can be made,
so you can tell mh through which audreys it must speak.


BTW: Did you also receive a meadow/green colored Audrey
instead of a linen/white one?
Just curious.


Ron.
