Software Engineer, with a degree in Distributed Systems.

I went through Networking (protocols design, TCP/IP etc...), dev (ASM, C, C++), sys admin and maintenance (Solaris, Linux, Windows), web dev (PHP, JS, Macromedia stuff, AJAX), reconverted to video games dev (handheld devices) fo a AAA games company.

Now I am an independent iPhone/mobile/web dev.

comment Simplest approach for rail sets automation
I found that places with white walls work better for IR communication. The fluorescent lights can in some instances completely mess-up with the IR networks, but most of the time when there is no line of sight the signal is transmitted by reflection from the walls and ceiling. A solution a friend uses now is to setup a white ceiling over his installations in large open spaces. The ideal solution would be mirrors, but they are expensive and cumbersome. His preferred solution for shows remains a white waxed fabric. I hope this will help you for your future installations.

Thank you for the detailed answer. It brings material to explore and ponder over before making a choice. I will take the time to explore the options. Have you noticed the headphones hat makes your avatar looks like a demon?

comment Is this a fleur-de-lis hood ornament, or something else?
LOL, ok. PeterDC seems to be right... It's a feather ornament, it doesn't look like the ones on medieval helmets so it might be one of the tribal ones.
