Okay, I finally did what I wanted to do forever. I took my stupid remote, and cut the wire right in half. Boy, did that feel good.
Then, I cut off the ends, and left about 2 inches on each side, and wired them back together, and shrinkwrapped it and everything.
Now I actually have a useful remote, that doesn't add a thousand feet to my headphone cord.
I'm stoked.
Unfortunately, my gf's computer is the biggest piece of crap in the world, and for some reason it won't let me put a picture on it from my digital camera.
So, this thread will be pictureless until my awesome ThinkPad comes in.
Then, I will post a pic, and all will be envious.
Well, not really. It looks okay, but I could have done a better job if I didn't get impatient. It works great though. Seems to be holding together just fine, and I hope it keeps working.
Later!
EDIT: I thought maybe I should explain. I skate around my university campus, and I have my iPod on my belt in a Timbuk2 case. The thing is, you can't get to the controls on the iPod, cause it's in the case. What makes it more annoying, is that the headphones plug into a hole in the top of the case, so every time I want to change something, I have to unplug the headphones, then take the iPod out of the case. It's kind of a pain.
So now, I can do everything by just reaching down and using the remote. Awesome.
