How to Control your PC with a WiiMote
I previously had a video demonstrating this but my video camera broke. This is very possible as I have done it myself. Please post any problems you may have below.
Instructions
1. Make sure you computer has Bluetooth or you have a Bluetooth adapter (they can be bought cheaply on Amazon and Ebay).
2. Download the following file and extract it: http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgshere/wiimouse.phtml
3. Run the .exe and follow the instructions to connect your WiiMote to your computer.
4. Place your Wii Sensor Bar above your monitor, plug it into your Wii and turn it on (NOT USING THE WIIMOTE)
5. You can now control your PC with a WiiMote. Further instructions can be found in the .txt program with the program.
6. Have Fun!

02/11/12 travelling back home
We woke up at 6am, feeling relieved, for we were to soon see our families, but also upset, as everyone had enjoyed the trip and wanted to stay. We got on the coach and had a 'goodbye speech' from our guides Regina and Lotus and we all applauded them as we shouted goodbyes. This then ended with Mr Burcher quoting Descartes (in typical Burcher fashion) and typical conversation until the arrival at the airport, typical conversation which consisted of Burcher-based banter and small-nosed abuse.
01/11/12 Beijing
Today, we had breakfast and nothing really interesting happened. We then got onto the coach and headed towards The Great Wall of China. We arrived at the park area and took the cable car (packed full of 'had to be there' moments) to the Beijing part of Great Wall. We went up to the highest point of the wall in that area (pictures will be posted) and also round to the next part.
31/10/12 Beijing
Today, we woke up and went downstairs to have breakfast. We were told by Regina, and by looking around our friends' rooms, that our room is a 'king-sized' room. We went downstairs to have breakfast (one of the best we had had here) and went down to basement levels one and two, and found the table tennis tables (although they were only open from 2-8).
30/10/12 Wuxi and travelling
Today, we woke up at six, realising we had a long day ahead. I was up and ready at the breakfast room (which I couldn't enter because Dex had the room key needed for entrance to the restaurant), waiting for Dex. He arrived, around five minutes later, to tell me he had lost the key. Then, after ten minutes of frantic searching and buying a new one for 50 Yuan (£5 roughly), he realised it was in his other pocket.
29/10/12 Wuxi high school
This morning, we woke up in the Hong Yun hotel, ready for our full day in our sister school; Wuxi number one. We were welcomed by Ben (our main contact in Wuxi) and a large sign, which said 'welcome to students and teachers from KEGS, Britain to Wuxi number one high school.'
We were then taken into the school building where we stopped off at a floor consisting of costumes from the different regions of China.
28/10/12 Shanghai
This morning I woke up at six am to the sight of a man doing Tai Chi outside my window (well, five floors down, not floating) and went downstairs to eat breakfast at 8am. We then checked out of the hotel for the coach to the Shanghai market, where we talked about subjects such as FIFA 13, the unreleased Black Ops 2 and the American election.
26-27/10/12 Travelling to Shanghai
Today, after waking up at six am, I arrived at school around half seven to find everyone just waiting in their cars, not daring to walking into the school. When the clock finally reached exactly 7:30, a wave of car doors opened and everyone made for the school doors, scared of being late.
Once inside, I met up with SS, from…

There are many things you have been told, from your parents, colleagues, friends and most definitely the internet that aren’t necessarily as honest as you may think. What if we told you many scientific things that you know and make you fell clever are actually fake?
