As a workaround, if you run Vista in "compatibility mode", FaceSay will work fine.

Working on a real fix

As a workaround, you can press "Continue" for each of the three cases of this error message. It's a harmless error. It has been fixed in version 1.0.0.9

What are the limits of Yahoo's "unlimited" web hosting?

What are the real limits of unlimited web hosting?

The "disclaimer" page http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhos...

says
- "we will place some constraints on how fast you can grow."
- "controls could limit downloads from your site"

I've tried to get Yahoo to either a) explicitly define those limits - would going from 10,000 mb to 100,000 mb in one month be within or beyond them or b) explicitly set my transfer limit back to 100,000 mb as it was before I fell for the "unlimited" pitch.

The Support team appears to be highly skilled at not answering questions. Anyone else had any luck getting an answer?

A third study at UAB is about to begin, which will test FaceSay with 3-6 yo "high functioning" (HFA/Aspergers) students.

How to "Reset Battery" on a Roomba

The battery in my Roomba 4110 is not holding its charge.

Solution from iRobot - "Reset the Battery":
1) Turn Roomba over on its back
2) remove battery
3) turn Roomba back over
4) press and hold power button for 5 seconds (no lights will)
5) Turn Roomba over on its back
6) Reinstall battery
7) Allow Roomba to recharge for 16 hours uninterrupted (even if power lights indicate it's charged sooner)

This did the trick

Casey started following the idea "Is there a full screen mode for embedded player?" in SlideShare.

The Camera is not recognized

Any tips for troubleshooting unrecognized camera? Here is Abi's report:
=========
REPORT: faceLab system installation and preliminary test:
Problem: Firewire cameras were not recognized: (Monday, March 10, 2008)

All hardware are connected as it is recommended. After we started the
FaceLAb program ( clicking on the program icon which was present on the
screen), it opens "faceLab startup screen" . As it is recommended we have
also checked section 6.1 ( to create a new stereo -Head) which is not exist.
section 6.5 is same way...
My observation was the WindowsXp couldn't recognize both cameras. However,
PCMCIA-card was present (recognized) and also HW-device manager shows that
2-devices are connected to the PCMCIA-card, without recognizing them as
"firewire camera"....

As all all hardware are assembled/connected (except usb-keys) we have
re-installed the program... But the problem was the same....We scheduled the
test to next day (March 11, 2008 4:30)

How about a few "How to setup FaceLab" videos?

Shaun,

Would you be game to record some quick webcam videos of you setting up the machine? It could be helpful for your other customers as well.

Thanks,

Casey

We don't need to calibrate the scene camera, right?

I know calibration is required for the subject cameras, but I want to confirm that no calibration is required for the scene camera, is that right?

Casey asked a question in Seeing Machines on March 07, 2008 20:06:

What's best placement/distance for scene camera?

How close would the mother need to be to the scene camera in order to use the highest precision lense? The camera will probably be on table and the child will be sitting across the table from the mother. I suppose we can move the scene camera and get a quick look at the view, make sure it captures enough of a view to allow for some natural movement by the mother. Also, I see the note about the software being configurable for up to a 95 degree fish -eye view. Any recommended setting???

Thanks,

Casey

What's a good material for hiding the cameras?

Shaun,

I forget what type of material you suggest we could use to hide the cameras so that they are not a distraction for the kids?

Thanks,

Casey
