Vixen / Re: Program to add Channels to Vixen for SS

I think you are over thinking this...
You're probably right...  :)

Quote
1 - Sort by description
2 - Sort by color
3 - Sort by manually number each row (not too much fun but the most flexible way)

I am thinking about the hybrid set up where you would have the first/last 512 channels of lynx controllers and the remainder as SS's (it's tough enough scrolling through 100 channels let alone 512).  Would it be an idea to have a sort that would bring the first three channels of each SS controller to the top of the list (and all the nodes at the bottom)?

Another helpful option would be to be able to sort ascending or descending.

And then another possible scenario that has been running through my brain...  ???
I can have a maximum of 128 lights per string, should I assign my channels that way even though at the moment I may only plan 60 lights?  If so, a sort that would drop all unassigned/disabled channels to the bottom might be something to think about.

Going from a maximum of 512 channels for a universe to 4096 and beyond is a big jump (a real exciting one at that!) But with that number of channels, I think that being able to slice and dice the order is going to be a very important factor in order to maintain a decent level of sanity.   :o

I don't know much about VB 2010. 
Does it have, or can it use a database style file structure?
This will take some pretty flexible record creating/sorting abilities.

Also I don't suppose you have the file definitions that KC has used for the file do you?
It would be helpful to know what the final output has to look like in order to know how to
create the files to do the sorts.

Just wondering...

... one other function that is not fun in vixen is setting the channel output order, and this will get even unfunner with 4096+ channels!

Barring what updates that might be going into upcoming versions of vixen, is this something you could add to your program?

Here's some good news and some bad news about this song.

First, the bad news, there is a video of the guy who did this song.  His name is Steve Maudlin.
Here's the long version where he explains how the song came to be...

What if I were to get about 16 of ponddude's blizzard lights You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (we'll start small just to make sure it will work), extend them to about 4' in length, and then turn them upside down so the lights go up rather than down.

If it works will you come to Canada? ;)

I was watching the video in the link from "Seen this?" and then this one on the side caught my eye.

Does it inspire any ideas?

I heard on the news that Marysville Police are on the look out for someone who pilfered a 33' foot lamp post.  They figured it was some Christmas light enthusiast from the local area who wanted to use it as a mega christmas tree.

my suggestion is that you go out and steal another one and then put them together to make a 66 footer and then they'll never recognize it   :D
