What are *you* doing?

**Hellow** · 07-12-2009, 10:29 PM

I thought this would be a rather interesting thread: What are you doing right now?

I am currently giving myself a headache trying to recode my site in PHP. Fun.

Trying to setup my own linux server to host my own web forum/s.

Wasting time until it is time to go to bed watching "Music and Lyrics" even though I don't really like Hugh Grant.

working on my etsy shop.

On my way to take a shower and get in bed to watch some TV before going to sleep. I lead such an exciting life.

Redesigning my home Theater to use an Anamorphic lens so I can watch Cinemascope (2.35 to 1) without the black bars at top and bottom. I will be building my lens out of Prisms and will redo my screen from a 98"x48" to a 115"x48". When viewing standard HDTV the screen will still be 98x48 but when viewing wide screen movies will be 115X48. The height
will remain constant and the width will change. The way it is now depending on what you are watching the height or width changes. A part of my design will be a masking system
so when the width changes you will not see a black bar on sides.

Also setting up Bike club Notebook Computer with Garman GPS for realtime mapping of Trails.

"Your making you own lens?? I want pics if you are!"

Actually this is a lens that will be in front of my standard Projector lens. I just ordered my prisms but will be glad to post pictures when I finish with the lens. The prisms are used to stretch the image to fill the 115" screen. The image is first stretched vertical electronically to eliminate the black lines and then stretched horizontally to fill the wide screen.The pixels that are lost in the black bars are utilized this way so a larger screen ends up being brighter. Normally the larger screen would be dimmer.

Right now my only hurtle is mounting my prism lens with out it looking rigged. Right not my projected in in another room projecting through a 6"x6" hole in the wall. Since the new lens has to go in front I'm having trouble figuring how to do it without have the lens visible on the wall or how to mount the new lense in the other room without a much bigger hole in the wall. Right now the projector is hidden and I would like to keep everything hidden if possible.

I'm sorry but this forum is about pets and other topics of interest. We do

I have some Pictures of my Theater that I will put on my server. I will
give you the link once I have them up there. I will also put pictures of
my lens once I'm finished.
