Hi All
Yesterday I had a weird idea:
What if you could compile & run any kind of commandline chatclient on the Empeg, and you could make it automatically sign-in to the chat service at boot (fx. using preinit).
Then - If your Empeg should ever get stolen you could just wait for it to pop up in the lower left corner of your screen:
"Stolen Empeg" just signed in.....
And if the chat service was ICQ you would also see its IP-address...
And just for fun you could have the Empeg translate its incoming mesages to keypresses fed to the player application ;-)
Or even better - you could display the incoming messages directly on its display: "Hey - you stole my Empeg!"
I know this is a crazy idea, but I find it interesting to get almost any application running on the Empeg :-)
