dolariI type WAY too fast for the Dreamcast to handle,
so typo notices will be deleted on site. Stupid
rassin' frassin' Dreamcast grumble
grumble....
Anyone know iuf there's a way I can remap the
CTRL key in Linux to another character? This
Dreamcast keybaord doesn't have a "true" CTRL key
and Linux without a Control key is pretty
useless.
I found a lot of sites that tell you how to remap
the keyboard where the HARDWARE is (Windows
registry hacks, Xmodmap files) but I'm looking ro
something for Telnet. The Dreamcast keybaord
actually has a CTRL key, but it seems just to be
for show, as it does NOTHING. Same with the ALT,
Num Lock and "S1/S2" keys. I thin this is just
an ASCII keyboard. Dean has an adapter to plug
in a PS2 Keboard - mabe that'll work.
Granted, the Dreamcast was never MEANT for the
hoops I'm putting it through, but I can't afford
a laptop.
Anyways - dean's family is here, and as usual,
Dean is in Impress the Parents mode. This
usually involvs wild gestiucalation, excited
utterances and general over explanation of
everything.
He's never been happier. :)
Meanwhile, I'm taking a day off after the Massive
Cleaning Project. I haven't been sleeping well
lately (My body wants to go to bed about 9AM
instead of 7:30 and wake up at 6PM instead of
3:30), and I really am exhausted. I'm hoping to
get SOME sleep today.
I real should pencil AWFW before I go to bed,
since it's all done in silhouette. Shouldn't be
hard to do. I also need togo back and edit the
last episode opf AWFW ASAP. In all the wrangling
to get the last speech sounding nice I left one
MAJOR MAJOR part out. It doesn't have much to
bear over all, but I just recently realized how
it's awkward that andrea is worried about her
house and her friends, and makes no mention about
her mom. Will edit that ASAP.
Is AWFW too too depressing? I mean, i neve found
the first act all that depressing, and 24 Hours
was literally supposed to be the worst 24 hours
of Andreas life, but in general, is it just a
realy sad series? It will lighten up son,
though, and we WILL be seing a hapy andrea in the
next storyline....

Date: 2003-12-11 06:05 am (UTC)If you were local, I'd be able to take one of my *old* systems and hook it up to see what character codes the dreamcast was sending when you typed. But doing that over the net is beyond me.
The lack of ctrl chars is like a Dreamcast issue. The lack of function keys is a matter of needing the right termibfo or termcap file.
I used to log into unix systems using a Tandy Model 100 notebook computer, and had to *massively* customize a termcap file to make it work (little detail like a 8 row by 40 column display... :-)
