Whacky uses for Axims

I was wondering, what is the most insane thing they did with their Axim.

NO DO NOT POST PLAYING PACMAN. I mean like software manipulation.

EI:Fuqing around with other peoples TVs using some remote control software through IR.

Ya know, stuff like that.

I'm searching for good ideas.. :D

A friend with an Axim stuck VNC on the podium PC that is hooked up to projector in one of the labs here, and installed pocket VNC client on Axim. Professor was doing a PowerPoint presentation and the guy kept using his Axim to advance the slides. Kinda funny for a second or two, but stupid at the same time.

I had a voodoo doll program on my Casio, but it doesn’t work on Axims

Here is the direct link to their website, in case newer versions are released.

Link to Pocket VNC Viewer

One problem to mention though.....is that there is no Right-click function when using the Axim.

Err, VNCing is good. but I meant like,

write a programm to flood car door ICs with IR in the hopes of the door opening.(I don''t think its feasible, well the door opening anyway).

Or, using your wireless CF card to jam cell phones or some other whacky crap.


You know, stuff to add to the GEE WHIZ factor.

How many more posts for me to be a NON-Newbie member?:)

Think that you've gotta hit the magic 20 mark if my memory serves me correctly. Man, I really think I have memory loss issues sometimes.

Perhaps you could post all the change points for membership categories.

Here's the only ones that I know of, and Chris or anyone else, correct me if the numbers are off:

Newbie (0-19 Posts)
Member (20 - 199 Posts)
Super Member (200 - 399 Posts)
Elite Member (400+ Posts)

I have seen an "elite member" at 1000+ (when a mod was changed to user for a bit) as well, so my guess is that this is the highest user-group that chris has assigned.
