RE: [misterhouse-users] what can I do with an Audrey and MH?

MessageThey are all the same, apart from the different colours or the ones
that have been overclocked.
Make sure you get the 3Com USB Ethernet adapter  with it, they are expensive
on their own.

There is a custom MisterHouse image called MrAudrey that removes a lot of
trial and error :)
Just fill in a few parameters and it's good to go. Also has a superb online
package download facility.
Full marks to Pete F.

While the Audrey has a built in calendar, MrAudrey uses the standard
MisterHouse calendar via a web browser, so it's accessible via the net.

Finally the killer application (for me) is the digital photo album, that
starts up if the MisterHouse web interface hasn't been used for a few
minutes and displays random photos from the thousands in our archive. My
wife loves it too, which scored a lot of points...

  Subject: [misterhouse-users] what can I do with an Audrey and MH?


  I have pretty much ignored the Audrey threads on MH until I thought how
nice it would be to replace our paper family calendar with a touch-pad entry
device in the kitchen that could easily add to a calendar accessible from
anywhere in the house or from the internet.  The small size of the Audrey
and touchpad input capability appeal to me.  I assume folks have put
together a MH image that gives the same sort of functionality as accessing
MH via a PC and webserver?  But I also like the idea of using the Audrey to
surf the internet via an ethernet connection to broadband without the fan
noise and bulkiness of most laptops.  I have other machines that run MH so
the Audrey would be a remote entry panel to me as much as anything else.

  Any comments would be appreciated.  Also, what Audrey to buy or not to buy
would be appreciated too.  Thanks, Lincoln
