2010-11-10 23:21:06 (5907 views) We're still discussing with the Committee but it's likely the first course will include butler training, cooking and such topics.
Courses will be organized into modules: you can either choose to train your male with our official curriculum or create your own based on your favorite modules.
Some modules may have customizable entries, for instance how you wish the male to greet you in public and so on.
Module types and content will be limited by resources and technical complexity.
We anticipate a few types of modules: multiple choice, dictation, forced repetition and typing, brain wave generation combined with subliminal messages (obedience hypnosis), small simulations of particular training areas, sexualization of positive imagery and behaviors through the arousal inducer and sounds/imagery and more.
Additionally we will release a module creation tool by which you will be able to create your own modules so if you're not satisfied in any way with our official courses you will be able to create your own and, of course, share it.

2010-11-09 09:11:29 (6130 views) First day of LVD testing. This is going to take 42 hours so we can't be there to document the whole process. They don't even want us filming at all though as you can see this hasn't deterred us so far.
LVD isn't as interesting as EMC testing but here are a few cool things that caught our attention.
First, a really BIG anechoic chamber.
A strange spherical container used for light bulb testing.
A really powerful oven.
Misc equipment being tested...
And our heroes once again!
This is a yucky way to measure the temperature of each individual component...
We were finally able to see the entire EN60950 standard... 200 pages of safety guidelines! Wouldn't be such a bad idea having this available at design time. These EU dudes have laws saying how your cables need to be, how big your screws need to be, they really don't leave anything up to your imagination.
Most articles talk about severe shock hazards, ejection of molten metal and such which just underlines how ridiculous it is for our device to have to follow the same protocols just because it's radio controlled.
There are some odd testing methods too... like this steel ball impact test. You guys don't really have steel balls here do you?
Oh yeah we do...
Now remember how the other lab was trying to cheat us saying we needed to do laser testing on the LEDs??? Here's what the Law says!
Compliance is checked by inspection, by evaluation of the data provided by the manufacturer and, if necessary, by testing according to IEC 60825-1.
In other words we do NOT need to do the laser testing for indicator LEDs! But hey, they wouldn't do LVD for us without the extra charges so now we've got another lab who will.
Now speaking about EU nonsense, get this. We requested an electronic copy of this 200 page document with all the rules. They said it's illegal for them to provide us a copy because it's "copyrighted"! Since when are laws copyrighted?
Yep... the laws (which you have to comply with if you don't want to get fines) are copyrighted, and you need to pay 2RMB per page in order to get the text! Total 60 USD to get the entire document.
Since when do you have to pay to get a copy of the copyrighted laws you're supposed to follow?
This is considered insanity even in the military dictatorship of the Banana kingdom of Boonga Mamoomba. But in the European Union, it's nothing special.
"Vive la bureaucratie!"
And if you drive, make sure you catch up with those speed limits before it becomes a subscription service to know what they are :)
2010-11-07 00:20:53 (6271 views) About to order the transparent cabling for motor and electrodes, and requesting a final sample confirmation before we go ahead with the order since as you know screw-ups occur quite frequently in China...
Already received 2 bad samples from cable companies. This is what we got today:
"Nuclear Power Plant used Class 1E, Category K3 Compensatory Cable"
Not sure if that means "used" as in second-hand which would be a reason for concern, but this is the description:
It is normally used in the class KC, KX thermocouple compensatory system outside the shield of the nuclear power plant which controls emergency stop of the reactor, isolating the security shield, emergency cooling of the reactor core, removing the afterheat of the reactor and the workshop, preventing from letting the radioactive substance into the environment when the earthquake does not exceed the load for that.
Do not worry - we do not plan on using this cable and we have no plans for new features involving mushroom clouds coming out of anyone's pants.
What we should all be worrying about, though, is the thought that an actual nuclear plant somewhere may be getting a transparent silicone male management and arousal inducing cable to connect to their security shield...
2010-11-06 09:18:38 (6323 views) Silent command 9 and 10 are static, you can change the vibration pattern but not modify the meaning.
#9 is "report to PC" and will be used for male task scheduling and course interaction.
#10 is Canine Mode
Education Committee members: we previously erroneously reported a total of 8 silent command to choose, this is no longer an error as there are now a total of 8 actual customizable commands, so nothing changed. Call it premonition :)
2010-11-06 06:36:49 (6150 views) Components are on the way and the PCB assembly guys are standing by with their stencils and PCBs ready to begin the job. In the meanwhile we've brainstormed about adding some safety features to the DL2000.
The overlay will likely be changed to the above design.
Before going over the changes and news please note some icon changes:
- Alpha was used only for silent commands so it now has a silent command icon (the puppet)
- Beta is a mixed bag of tools so now it's got a "tools" sort of icon
- Long press is now indicated with a bar below the symbol for double-use keys.
Differences in operation from earlier versions:
- long press "manner" button freezes the receiver. In frozen mode it will not respond to anything else than a reset, which will unfreeze it. An extra layer of safety for special times (this feature does not imply you can drive a motorvehicle while wearing the DL2000 or do any other dangerous activity).
- long press "call" button resets the receiver. This function was previously activated with Beta + ON/OFF but it was a 2 key sequence and now you've got a "panic button" right there with a 1 s long press in case you want to reset the receiver immediately
- remote control can no longer be turned on by pressing just one button. You must push [TOOLS] + [ON/OFF] at the same time to turn on the remote. These keys are on opposite ends of the remote and it's pretty much impossible to press them by accident by sitting on the remote or when the remote's in your bag or pocket.
LED indicators:
- When ON/OFF is pushed without pushing [TOOLS] and the remote is OFF the mute/lock LED blinks to let you know the remote is locked and you need to push two buttons to turn it on.
- For double key sequences where one key is pressed first and then the other key (like Timer + 1, Vibration + 2, Tools + anything), after pressing the first key the TX/INPUT LED lights up. Mode is exited after 10 seconds if no choice is made. This way you know the remote is waiting for another key.
