LIRC

LIRC (Linux Infrared remote control) is an open source package that allows users to receive and send infrared signals with a Linux-based computer system.

There is a Microsoft Windows equivalent of LIRC called WinLIRC.

With LIRC and an IR receiver the user can control their computer with almost any infrared remote control (e.g. a TV remote control). The user may for instance control DVD or music playback with their remote control.

One GUI frontend is KDELirc, built on the KDE libraries.

    Eyes While Open

    by: La Rocca

    You keep one talking bout these winter blues
    All across the lowlands
    People getting used to the walking in the daytime
    While the little men go choose
    Arrested fathers with their Monday heads
    Get suspicious of the women who know more in bed
    And the whole thing shows what the space race failed to prove
    After the light show and the ball of flames
    All the elephants go back to their poker games
    And the money takes a one-way trip on a southbound train
    Amazing brandy and the Ace of Spades
    Talk to Dylan with the only who didn't get laid
    And everyone agreed on the meaning behind the news
    We're being used
    I've never been here but the brochures' nice
    Says the staff here is friendly but the management lies
    And the ceiling comes free if we just get online and dice
    Too many owners and not enough teams
    Too many ideas and not enough wet wet wet dreams
    So pu that wallet away cause i can't pay what's due
    And nor can you
    We're being used
    I'd bow my head if the king walked by
    But he'd better stay focued on the glint oin my eye
    For his right hand man may taste a bullet and die
    If immagration stops us getting through
    Thenj we'll hit 'em with the joke bout the 2ft shoe
    And if that doesn't work then we'll just hi 'em with the truth
    Were bieng used
    Heaven's got a porblem with the casting couch
    Cause if God does the interview, You'd better watch out
    It's a rumour right now
    But Jesus won't you tell us the truth
