Man relax with the eagerness.
The topic has been up before. Your skin seem to look nicer than mine though.. Smile

Heh. Look how many replies I got.
That does not mean it can be usefull to some. It's a great feature for what it is, and I encourage to use it.
But I think you over simplify it.

Best regards tuxen

SE has been coverd for years dude..Heh.
I remember over 5 years ago I used it as a remote control for Windows XP Media Center Edition.
It was one of their first phones with color display. Smile

@tuxen Sorry, I didn't know it was covered before.

tuxen Wrote:But I think you over simplify it.

I think it's always better to present anything in it's simplest form so that the experienced and the non-experienced can enjoy it.

About the covered thing. I think he meant a "dedicated remote control for Sony Ericsson Java Phones To Control XBMC"

and about the "eagerness" it isn't wrong to try contributing in something you like, right?
I mean I tried so many times to contribute by pointing out bugs, suggesting new features, suggesting tools to improve scrapers, etc. and I got nothing but complete neglect.
I'm just sick of it. how do they think they will develop if they are listening only to bug reports and feature suggestions from developers and donators, and ignore the most important part which are the users, that use and experience the project. the users sometimes find out what developers can't, because the users take all the time using the program so they go over situations that developers just don't in there tests.
I'm a programmer and I know that the bug reports which come from the users are always the hidden ones, that I can't find.

best regards harryremon
