Don’t you hate when you lose the remote? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could, oh, say store that information on your computer and never lose it? Or how about being able to control various parts of your computer (such as a music player) via remote?

If so, and you’re electronically inclined, go check out LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control). If I tried to explain it all, I wouldn’t do as good a job as they did.

Go check it out and never lose your remote again, you geek you.
